Monday - Queens Bithday - no school.
Tuesday - Look at the post test on Algebraic Manipulation from term 1.
Wednesday - Statistics Presentations
Thursday/Friday - Learning workbooks, algebra chapters.
Many students liked having a theme for the week. This week we will focus on solving linear equations. We will graph the lines in Desmos, so we understand why they are called linear. We will start solving equations like 12=3x, then 3x+8=20, ending with 'x on both sides', 3x+8=2x+10
Matchstick patterns will be introduced and these will be included every week.
This week we will focus on changing the subject of the formulae. We will start will equations like a=bx, and make x the subject. We will look at Rearranging which is the same skill. We will look at the 'do' and 'undo' concept, and 'do the same things to both side'.
Matchstick Patterns and Tukutuku Patterns will be explored. Nz Maths Resources.
This week we will focus on solving quadratics, which will require us to use the skills of factorising and expanding.
E-asttle progress test on Wednesday.
Man Vs Maths has really great skill & drill PDFs which are a great way to increase your skill level.
We will graph the quadratics using Desmos in order to SEE where the solutions are. Those who struggle with the required number skills can use Desmos to help solve the problems. We will use the links from week 9 in class.
Our learning workbooks will be used to prepare for the test. The notes and exercises, and the answers, will help students learn. We are going to adopt a Growth Mindset and do the best we can.
Record and interpret additive and simple multiplicative strategies, using words, diagrams, and symbols, with an understanding of equality.
Generalise the properties of addition and subtraction with whole numbers.
Connect members of sequential patterns with their ordinal position and use tables, graphs, and diagrams to find relationships between successive elements of number and spatial patterns.
Form and solve simple linear equations.
Generalise properties of multiplication and division with whole numbers. This skill includes expanding and factorising involving linear expressions with single brackets.
Use graphs, tables, and rules to describe linear relationships found in number and spatial patterns.
Form and solve linear and simple quadratic equations.
Generalise the properties of operations with fractional numbers and integers. This skill includes expanding and factorising involving non‐linear expressions with single brackets.
Relate tables, graphs, and equations to linear and simple quadratic relationships found in number and spatial patterns.
Form and solve linear equations and inequations, quadratic and simple exponential equations, and simultaneous equations with two unknowns.
Generalise the properties of operations with rational numbers, including the properties of exponents.
Relate graphs, tables, and equations to linear, quadratic, and simple exponential relationships found in number and spatial patterns.
Relate rate of change to the gradient of a graph.
