Engaging & Creative - Area of Special Quadrilaterals

I must admit, I have the most BEAUTIFUL Year 8 students who are motivated, work well, ask questions and the majority of them are self-driven. 

I really wanted to engage not only MY class in their work, but the rest of the Year 8 cohort, so I thought... Why not get permission to 'chalk up' their Year 8 eating/ sitting area so ALL Year 8 students can see what they're studying in Mathematics at the present time! 

Well the Year 8 Deputy LOVED the idea and the cleaners are happy to leave their designs around for a week or so until they look messy and then just hose them off! 

The guidelines: 

• Any simple shape (square, rectangle, triangle) and special quadrilateral could be used.
• It must be used in a creative picture as long as there were measurements on their picture.
• It needed to be large enough to easily see
• The area of one shape must be calculated somewhere near the image with full working out. 

I had some VERY creative kids (I say kids but they are all 13!!) who just LOVED this task! These are just three of the photos so I don't clutter this post too much. I am doing the same thing this coming week with more Year 8 work in their area and work in the Year 9 area on Pythagoras and Trigonometry so look out for this post later in the week. 

What type of 'chalk' or painting tasks have you done with your class? I'd love to hear about the/ see some pictures! 

On a short note, it's Max's 9th Birthday this weekend and he was so excited to get his Ju Jitsu uniform AND a sporting award from Sensei which he worked so hard to recieve! 

A busy night ahead of us making a RockClimbing cake, cupcakes and party food for tomorrow! :)

FREE Area Dominoes - Review in my Classroom

Year 9s are currently working on area, area of composite shapes, volume and capacity.

Since one of my year 9 classes require more support and engaging activities, I decided to use my FREEBIE Area of Square, Rectangle and Triangle Dominoes to review how to calculate the area of basic shapes that should have been covered in year 6 (covered, just forgotten)!

I differentiated this activity by making students show their calculations/ working out! :)

They LOVED working through this activity where they could work in a small group, share the 'working out' responsibility and collaborate to solve the problem!

It is always amazing to hear so much math-related discussion/ arguments happening in class!

 

You can download this FREEBIE Area of Square, Rectangles & Triangles here at my TpT Store!

This complete collection contains over 174 pages and at least 7 Math Centre resources (with various levels and activities in each centre) to use in your classroom.

I Have, Who Has Area Games

I am very excited to announce the creation of my very first I have, Who Has Game! Area (along with so many other concepts) is a vital concept which underpins so much in middle and upper school Mathematics that I always focus on games that test their ability, understanding and accuracy (time as well)!

I cannot wait to add this to my Math Center because I know the different levels will enable my very low level year 8s to have success and confidence to move on and look at the other levels! :)

As usual I have this game on sale for the first few days, so hop on over and have a look if your students would find it as useful as mine! :)

Thank you to everyone who has supported my page & blog! The collegiality is amazing.

As a lot of the resouces I've sold have been unit conversion, perimeter, area or volume related, I have put together some word wall words around theis topic and have it listed on TpT as a freebie here

    

One of my most popular items is my Unit Conversion, Perimeter & Area Pack for $3.60 on TpT which has 17+ pages of activities/ worksheets & teacher notes! The above Freebie would support the unit beautifully!

My other most popular item is my Math Center Volume of Prisms - Rotation Cards comes with 7 different sets of cards that are printed 2 sets per A4/ letter page. Again the above Freebie would support this item as well! These Rotation cards meets CCSS 5.MD.3,4,5 - 6.MD.2 and 7.MD.6. and in Australia I used these rotation cards with my Year 8s as a review for their upcoming exam and they worked beautifully. ANSWERS also included! :)
