This week in maths:

John – The Algebros have started to finish our topic Algebra, we have been practising our equations like {5a = 20, a = 4}, {5 + 𝑥 = 12, 𝑥 = 7}.

Murray- For the Graph Gang we have finished our topic of Area, where we have done compound shapes and right angled triangles, now we have made a sheet saying what we have learned, what we want to practice and how we know we have achieved our goals for this topic.

John – And for the Fraction Force and the Number Ninjas they have been doing weight and seeing what is equal (e.g. 2 apples = a box). 

John – And to end the first part we all did an ‘Exit Card’ which showed Mrs Norman what we have learned, what we want to learn, and what we need more support with.
