Geometry in Maths

Conceptual understanding around angles, 2 D and 3 D shapes work with symmetry, transformations and tessellations have led to rich discussions and explorations, hands on maths and inspired art works.

Year 7 enjoyed designing their popcorn containers to enjoy while they had a celebratory movie and Year 8 explored patterns, tessellations and the work of MC Escher.

Working with Fractions, Decimals and Percentages is getting underway this week. Solving problems in this area often takes practice and time. Maths Buddy (Year 8) and Mathletics (Year 7) are great digital tools which your child can use from home to reinforce their classroom learning, master skills and gain confidence in their maths. Please contact your child's teacher if they have forgotten their password or have trouble accessing these from home.
