Maths

Term 3 It is hard to believe we are already half way through the school year. This term in Maths the topics we will be looking at are:
 * Fractions, Decimals and Percentages (some classes did work on this last term)
 * 2D and 3D shapes
 * Some classes will also be looking at Algebra if they didn't complete this last term

The Numeracy Boost Group is still going well, and will be continuing on Thrusday mornings at 8.10am. If you think your son could do with some extra support with his Numeracy (this is different from his Maths unit of work) please don't hesitate in contacting Mrs Ronoastro at school or via email. Below is an assessment task that some of the classes are working on in relation to "Fractions, Decimal and Percentages". Please be aware that not all classes are doing this task.

Term 2 This term our topics will be:
 * Transformations (Enlargements, Translations, Reflections, Rotations and Tessellations)
 * Lines and Angles
 * Algebra

This term has also seen the Numeracy Boost Group up and running early on Thursday mornings. This has been established to help those boys build up their number recall skills and to help develop confidence in Maths. If you would like your son to attend please email Mrs Ronoastro via email.

Term 1

We have all settled back into school life well, and most classes have already started on their first main topic "//**Area and Perimeter**//". It is through this topic we will be teaching and reinforcing number skills and recall. Once this topic is finished it will lead us nicely into "//**Volume and Capacity**//", then finally we will look at "//**Time and Temperature**//".

Every boy this term will be given a Username and password to log into [|www.studyladder.com.au], their class teacher will be able to set tasks for your son to practise at home and at school. If you have the opprtunity please take the time to have a look at the website as it also offers some literacy games as well as Maths games, and you are also able to print out sheets for them to use at home.

Time Tables Activities

Every week this year your son will be having a Timetables test, and his progress will be monitored over this period. We would like the boys to spend some time every night practising their tables. If they have already mastered these, please encourage them to practise their division tables.

A great site for maths tasks is [|www.mathsonline.com.au], your son will been given a login and password to access this great learning tool - it has tutorials and practice activities which could be very useful if your son needs some extra practice throughout the year.
