Lesson - 5th October - Classification of Shapes

This lesson looked at classifying shapes by properties.

Specifically we looked at sides (length, parallel or not, number of), symmetry (reflection, order of rotational), angles (right angle etc).

Homeowrk - Due 9th October

Complete the 3 questions form Page 102 (Task) and 103 (questions 1 and 2).

You may write on the proformas provided on the lesson.

Lost them? Download sheet 1 and sheet 2 here.

Question 2 - It has been brought to my attention (sorry it is late) that question 2 (page 103) is not very well worded. I am happy for you to miss out parts a to c and just complete part d which crucially looks at the classification of the quadrilaterals.

Monday 1st October - Lesson

We will be looking at Bearings.

We always take a bearing from North and work clockwise.

The basic diagram to remember is:



We also came across back bearings, which is the bearing in the return direction and is given by adding 180 degrees. Remember to always return to zero when reaching 360 degrees.

i.e. Bearing = 270 degree. Back bearing = 270 + 180 = 90 degrees, not 450 degrees.

Classwork and Homework on Polygons/Angles

For anyone who missed the last lesson or homework a summary is provided:

The lesson looked at angles within polygons.

We created shapes of x sides, made triangles within them by taking vortices's on the edge and joining it up to all other vertices's, i.e. dividing a quadrilateral into 2 triangles. We could then find the sum of interior angles by saying 2 triangles x 180 degrees = 360 degrees in a quadrilateral.

I will include an example over the weekend.

Homework - This looked at angle properties within a regular Octagon.
