The Hammer group is having an exam on Wednesday to complete their work with Products and Factors.
We will all start a new topic this week: Investigative Geometry.
Geometry is everywhere! Every building, every machine, In chemical compounds, In the arrangement of our bones - just about any structure we can think of has a geometry of some sort.
Being able to identify geometric figures, and being able to work out the relations of lines and angles within them is an important life skill. Particularly for anyone who wishes to work in trades as diverse as construction, engineering or space flight.

we need more time to do the test!
Arrr, yes you can have more time!!!
On question 3, it says "Do these, but also show the reasons". Does that mean we don't have to show the reasons for questions 1, 2 and 4?
No, no reasons required for 1,2 and 4. You will still need to show ALL your working, so I can see that you know what you are doing.
In general with geometry problems DO put down the reason for each step - just an abreviation like 'Vert Opp Angles' is enough. As problems get more complex this gets more and more important.
