Bridge Of Don Academy Maths Dept.

Today we are learning to … apply our knowledge to exams.

We have been working through past papers and practice NABs.

Today we are learning to … apply our maths to SQA exams.

We have been working through past papers.

Today we are learning to … prepare for exams.

We finished off “Similarity” and took a quick look at “Simultaneous Equations”.

Handed out an old S3 General exam to work through in preparation for next week’s exams.

Today we are learning to … work with sequences.

Using the pattern (e.g. 3, 5, 7, 9 …… pattern = “+2” each time so the next term is 11).

Finding the rule (e.g. e.g. 3, 5, 7, 9 …… pattern = “+2” so it must be something to do with the 2 times table; the first number in the 2 times table is 2 so we need to +1 to make it work; therefore the rule = x2 then +1).

Today we are learning to … measure volume.

Looked at the units of volume (e.g. litres. millilitres, cubic centimetres).

Volume of a cuboid = length x breadth x height.

Today we are learning to … perform better in exams.

Started working through the 2007 paper.

Today we are learning to … calculate area and circumference of a circle. 

Watch a PowerPoint show about the circle (Egyptians and the Hyksos).

Today we are learning to … understand similarity.

NOTE on similar triangles. 

Went out to use similarity to find the height of a tree/lamppost.

Today we are learning to … measure time.

Time Exercise

1.   How long between these times:

      (a)  11.20am and 4.00pm

      (b)  2130 and 0715 ?

2.   How long between these dates:

      (a)  2nd May and 17th May                  

      (b)  3rd July and 13th August ?

3.   A train leaves the station at 1045 and arrives at its destination

      at 1325.

      (a)  How long did the train journey last?

      A second train leaves the station at 1105.  It takes the same amount

      of time to reach its destination as the first train.

      (b)  At what time does the second train arrive at its destination?

Today we are learning to … measure time.
