• Find nth term of linear and quadratic formulae
• Construct and use equations in context from sentences.

• Measures
• Convert between measures
• Use compound measures to determine speed/distance/time etc.

Make sure you especially revise all the areas you struggle with NOT just the ones you know you can do!!

Compound Area

Compound area is where we find the area of shapes which are made up from other shapes.
HERE is some homework on simple compound areas. 
Split each shapeup into rectangles, work out the area of each, then add them together.

year 8 Autumn 1 scheme of work & units

This file lists the topics that are covered at the start of year 8.

Compound Measures

A Compound Measure is made up of 2 or more other measures e.g Speed or Density.

Here you will find slides on working out compound measures.  Click HERE to Try some questions for yourself.
Some further Speed, Distance and Time questions can be found on this worksheet.

Volume

Please find your volume homework here.

Properties of Quadrilaterials

Find the properties of all the quadrilaterals you will ever need here.

Metric and Imperial measures

Here is a powerpoint to help you understand converting between measures.  Make sure you understand how to convert between different measures.
Here is a conversion list and some exercises to try.

Times-tables fortnight

Coming up after half term we have our times-tables fortnight.  Here are the cards we are using to help our pupils to remember their tables.
2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 7x, 8x, 9x, 10x, 11x, 12x

Family Maths Nights

Here at WBV we have begun hosting Family Maths Nights, a chance for parents to come and find out the methods we use, and to enable them to support their children's maths more effectively.  The first booklet we created can be found here. It is all about Fractions, BIDMAS & Negative numbers.
Can you answer all the questions?

The next Family Maths Night will be on Dec 8th.  Make sure your booked in if you want to join us, and it's all about Algebra Yay!

Basics - Times-tables

Learning times tables is essential - this section is to list various tools which will help you as you learn them.

1) These activities on Transum are extremely useful.  Do them every day for a week.  and YES when it says write them out on day 1, you DO need to do that bit!

2) Maybe you could try some of these activities

3) Woodlands Junior always have some good stuff on their website

There is nothing wrong with learning your times tables by rote, and the same with number bonds, anything you can do to help you remember them will help greatly as you move on to more challenging topics.

Intro

The whole idea of these pages is to help you to be able to access Maths in an easier way.  So whether you are a pupil or student trying to find some help, a parent who needs a clue on how to help with that homework, or another teacher who has just stumbled across yet another site full of resources, I hope you all find it useful.

It's going to take me a while to populate this site with all the various things required to cover everything you need to know for all things mathematical, so if you see a helpful resource you think I should link to or highlight please do let me know.
