Hi,


How about circles or area questions,sometimes I find it hard myself to see the shape especially if it is put into a different shape, it is a circles or area question but you do not know it then later you can see it. Sorry if I am not making myself clear but does anyone know what I am talking about? :?:

Haha.... i don't understand at all......
anyway, circle/area questions are quite simple.... memorise the formula and you will never get it wrong...
basically, you need to remember the formula for area of circle, triangle, square and rectangle....that is all about it....

Hi Leanne

Thank you and no choice as most of the people are scared of maths including of myself.

I have just flipped through one of the booklet - ratio and I believe dd should not have much difficulty to work on it.

Hi Leanne

DD chooses to start with Geometry booklet. She has completed Symmetry, Tessellation and some angels questions yesterday.

I think this is also practical as now their topics after CA2 are Angles, Properties of Triangles, 4 sided figures, Geometrical construction, cube and cuboid etc.

Guess we should be able to complete this 1st booklet after the end of the topics.

We would carry on with the test papers and if there is any problem we would look into the booklet for similar solutions.

Thanks for sharing.


My child only did a few angles questions, that is those that doesnt involves circle.

Hey, keep going...How was ca so far?

Cheers

Thank you.

The paper is not return yet. Not able to assess the area of losing marks. Usually the full paper is Paper one: 30 Questions and Paper two - 18 Questions. According to DD, their paper one was 15 questions and paper two seems like 10 questions.

If the 6B is available, it'll be better. I believe this book is extending down from the very popular secondary series of assessment books, very thick and heavy books, but content packed.
