THE RATIO AND FRACTION SONG

 
Just in case you want to sing, here you are the chorus:

Let’s study ratios
They compare values
You should know
A fraction is how it is shown
Fractions are part of a whole
And proportions are equal ratios
And unit rates are crucial so
Sing along to this video

¡EMPIEZA UN NUEVO CURSO!

Por si todavía no os habeis dado cuenta, os aviso de que ya ha comenzado el curso 2018/2019. Efectivamente, siento deciros que las vacaciones han terminado, lo que quiere decir que ha llegado el momento de volver a estudiar y trabajar. Y cuanto antes empecéis, mucho mejor para vosotros.

Así que, después de hacer la prueba de evaluación inicial, empezamos la primera unidad del curso, Fractions and decimals. Ya están disponibles las fichas de trabajo de las dos primeras unidades en este blog (sí, aquí a la derecha, donde pone "worksheets").

Tan sólo desearos un buen curso y, sobre todo...

Math in videogames

These last days we were studying a little about the coordinate plane and functions. I found a terrific web with video games in which you have to use a little of maths: mathsnacks.com I hope you enjoy it!

MOSAICS WITH GEOGEBRA

These days we are using the application Geogebra to construct the mosaics we saw in the Alhambra. Just in case you need to redo your mosaics at home, here you will find something to help you (click on the mosaics)

Geometry in the Alhambra

This morning we started a new integrated unit called "Geometry in the Alhambra". The first thing we did was watch this video:


Now you know a few things about the relationship between the Alhambra and maths, but you need more information to be ready for this unit:

TASK 1: Investiga un poco sobre la relación entre las matemáticas y la Alhambra, y busca la respuesta a estas preguntas:

1) ¿Por qué los árabes usaban tanto la geometría para las decoraciones de sus palacios?
2) ¿Cuál es el número áureo o de oro? ¿Por qué es tan importante?
3) ¿Qué es un rectángulo áureo? ¿En qué lugar de la Alhambra podemos encontrar rectángulos áureos?

You can begin your research with the following links:
