Homework for Thurs 7th

Your homework is to produce a poster (or some ppt slides) about different measurements. You could look at:

Length
Weight
Capacity
Area

You could consider different conversions - e.g. an average elephant weighs..... kgs and then convert it into different units (e.g. stones, tonnes, grams etc)

I'd like some lovely colourful posters for display!

Today's work....

Use this link

http://nrich.maths.org/5994

And try and unjumble....

Then investigate different connections between lengths, weights, volumes, etc

Work for today....

I've set you some mymaths topics to review the work that we've recently been doing in class (area of rectangles, triangles, parallelograms) before moving onto the work that we would have done today (area of a circle, circumference of a circle).

I've set the deadline to complete them by end of next week - so it would be good to spend some time on it today.

Email me at
sgilbert@thecooperschool.co.uk

if you have any problems, or if you've lost your mymaths password etc.

If you think its a question that could help everyone, post it on the blog!
