Bridge Of Don Academy Maths Dept.

Today we are learning to … solve equations.

Work in pairs.  You will need:

a)         one set of balancing scales

b)        3 pairs of scissors

c)         a ‘bunch’ of 10g and 5g weights

d)        an A4 mini-board, pen and sponge

Your task:

Put the scissors on one side of the scales.  

Add 50g of weights to that side.

Put weights on the other side until it is balanced.

Write down the equation that the scales represent.

Use your scales to help you solve the equation.

Whatever you do something write it down (in a bubble) then write the solution.

Today we are learning to … use Pythagoras’ Theorem.

Also, we looked at how to calculate the area of a kite.

Today we are learning to … use the Sine Rule to find missing lengths.

NOTE:

NOTE:

Investigated and derived the Sine Rule.

Today we are learning to … solve equations.

Work in pairs.  You will need:

a)         one set of balancing scales

b)        3 big calculators (TI-83 graphic calculators)

c)         a ‘bunch’ of 10g and 5g weights

d)        an A4 mini-board, pen and sponge

Your task:

Put the calculators on one side of the scales.  

Put weights on the other side until it is balanced.

Write down the equation that the scales represent.

Use your scales to help you solve the equation.

Whatever you do something write it down (in a bubble) then write the solution.
