Geometry Vocabulary

At the moment we are learning about Tessellation, Rotation, Reflection, Enlargement and Transformation. You can find definitions and examples of these on the Geometry tab at the bottom . . .

Which Basic Facts are Important?

Stage 0-3	addition and subtraction facts to 5 doubles to 10
Stage 4	add/sub facts to 10 doubles to 10 and halves from 20 “Ten and” facts Multiples of 10 that add to 100
Stage 5	addition facts to 20 subtraction facts from 10 multiplication facts 2,5,10 multiples of 100 that add to 1000
Stage 6	addition and subtraction facts to 20 multiplication facts to 10 x multiplying by 10,100,1000
Stage 7	division facts to 10 x table fraction-decimal-percentage conversions for halves, quarters, thirds, fifths and tenths divisibility rules for 2,3,5,9 and 10 squares to 100 factors of numbers to 100 common multiples of numbers to 10
Stage 8	fraction/decimal/percentage conversions divisibility rules for 2,3,4,5,6,8,9,10 simple powers of numbers to 10 common factors and highest common factors for numbers up to 100 least common multiples of numbers to 10

*These facts are taken from Book 1 (Number Framework) of the Numeracy Programme.

2012

Hi everyone,
I've reached the stage where I can begin uploading short videos from the beginning of our lessons of our daily basic facts practices. This means by the end of the year there should be @100 practice activities of Powers, Factors, Multiples, Divisibility Rules, Times Tables etc. Don't forget all the great websites on the class blog including Tutpup, BBC, NZMaths and more.
 

Knowledge Items

Yay for us (and Mr Google). Using Google docs we can embed powerpoints to help you learn your basic facts. They are simple - timed to 3 different settings. The simpler they are, the more we can have, so don't expect sound or pretty pictures. We are still in the process of learning to make these powerpoints (and learning our facts at the same time) so there may be a few mistakes. We'll correct these as we come across them. Remember - these are aimed to help you if you are working at Stages 7 or 8 of the numeracy programme, so beware the expert setting :) Good luck - and have fun.

Welcome . . .

. . . to what I hope will turn into a pretty substantial aid to help children learn maths online.
