Maths: general revision


We did more general revision today, answering lots of practice questions about all kinds of maths.  We found an interesting area question on one of our revision sheets.  There are three ways of drawing a rectangle with area 16 square centimetres and two of them are shown on the board above.  The bottom one is a square, but a square is a special kind of rectangle.  A shape with four sides and four right angles is a rectangle, so both the shapes on the board are rectangles.

At home, over the weekend, look through the mental practice papers I gave you, and read the sheet about solid shapes.  You do not need to write any answers or make any of the shapes.  Just make sure you understand all the information.  Ignore the sentence on the sheet about a sqube.  You certainly won't be asked about that in the exam!
