Divisibility Rules

Hello Children,
 I am so sorry that I have not been with you at school these past few days so, to let you know you are certainly not forgotten, I am adding some materials on the blog to support you with maths!!
Have fun learning!

A quick review
I know your teachers have been reviewing these ideas in class, you will also have notes & handouts in your maths notebook but just in case you have a doubt lets review!!!

What is a divisibility rule? 
A divisibility rule is a little fact or group of facts based on things we have already learned ( like our mulitplication tables), that can help us to divide large numbers without doing huge calculations. It can be so easy some might call it a trick:)

Why should we have to learn them?
We should learn them to excersise what we already know and to save us the time and possible mistakes we can make by doing large math calculations.

I hope you find this helpful!!
See you soon!

GEOMETRY

Hello children,
  As you know this unit of maths is all related to geometry!!  We will give you are few examples of our in-class topics, right here on the blog to support your learning. 
  Remember, not only can you find geometry in the classroom or on the blog, you can find it in everyday life!!
  After reviewing these contents, think for a moment about where you may have come across these concepts before!!
Have fun learning!!!

What is Symmetry?  Reflection?  Rotation? Translation? and Tesselation?
Lets find out!!

Symmetry is when you put an invisible line through the middle of an object and both sides match or when an object can be divided exactly into two halves by creating a line with a mirror. (Please click on the title to access video.)

If you used a mirror would you be able to divide this face exactly in half?

Are you able to use a mirror here to divide each shape exactly in half? 

Reflection or (Flip)- Reflection takes place when a shape is flipped across a line and faces the opposite direction. Because the shape ends up facing the opposite direction, it appears to be reflected, as in a mirror. Hence the name REFLECTION. (Please click on the title to get access to video.)

 

Can you flip each shape perfectly across the line?

Rotation is a transformation that turns a figure about a fixed point. Rotation is also called as turn. The fixed point around which a figure is rotated is called as centre of rotation. (Please click on the title to access video)


If you choose a point on any one of these green triangles & rotate it, will it follow the path of this shape?


Quick comparison below...

(Please click on diagram for video)


Translation simply means Moving... without rotating, resizing or anything else, just moving.
Every point of the shape must move the same distance  and in the same direction!! (Please click on title to access video clip.)

 
Can you see how the shapes are exactly the same but just moved around the grid?

Tesselation is created when a shape is repeated over and over again covering a plane without any gaps or overlaps. (Please click on the title to get video)

Are there any gaps or overlaps in this picture?

 

 How many of you have ever seen a floor like this?  Do the tiles overlap?  Are there any gaps in the placement of tiles?

 (Children, if you have any doubts or concerns regarding any of these topics please stop & see any of your teachers!) 

 Thanks!!  Miss Noelle

 

 

Mathematics- Equivalent Fractions & Simplyfing Fractions

Hello Children,
I hope you are having fun learning about fractions at school... obviously you will have homework from your textbook but just in case you have a doubt look at the diagrams  & click on each one to go to a game... this may help you!
Have fun learning!!
