If you finish all of this, go onto mymaths and try to complete all the tasks that I've set...

Any questions, leave a comment & I'll try and reply - or email on my school email address.

Properties of shapes..

I'd like you to use this to help you remember the properties of shapes (quadrilaterals)

http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/ks3bitesize/maths/shape_space/2d_shapes/revise2.shtml

I'll be trying to check spelling as well!

Look really carefully at the notation used on the shapes - watch how they use parallel lines, equal angles, equal lines - can you work out what's going on?

Quadrilaterals & triangles

Here's the link to the homework -
Quadrilaterals & Triangles

I'd like you to fill in as much information as you can. Try and write a comment in each box, e.g. You might you like to put a trapezium has 1 pair of parallel sides or a square has two pairs of parallel sides.

Any problems, remember you can do a search on google, or use mymaths, or bbc bitesize, or comment here or email me.

Due in on Wednesday, you must contact me before Wednesday if you have any problems.
