Welcome to

OHA Maths

“The only way to learn maths is to do maths”

To all our new year 7’s,

We are so excited to meet you all in September and welcome you to our classrooms!

Being off school for so long can make high school seem even more scary… this pack is designed with everything you need to make sure you are as ready for maths at OHA as you can be.

We have been in touch with your primary school teachers and picked 5 blocks that have yet to be covered by the majority of you. Here at OHA we follow the white rose scheme of learning – which is brilliant because it will follow straight on using the skills you have learnt in primary school.

This is pack 1 and will include 2 of the blocks of learning to start you off – then a second booklet will be sent to you in a few weeks with the final part of home learning to continue with over the summer holidays. For the links to work PLEASE download this or follow the links from the transition maths link on our OHA website.

For us to get to know you – please follow the links and submit scores for assessments. We would love to build up a bank of what you do and don’t know so we can prepare thoroughly for your lessons in September. Whether it’s all right or all wrong as long as you have tried your hardest, we are happy!

This booklet also includes some information about an online platform that is free until September called “Numerise” we would like to suggest you consider downloading and spending some time on over the summer holiday.

There is also a challenges section – we would love as many of you to get involved and send us your pictures/ videos for our weekly challenges so we can put faces to the names before September. Please check out the OHA transition page for a message from your maths department so you can get to know us too!

Looking forward to seeing your work, and we will send you transition pack 2 in a few weeksThe OHA Maths team!

School closuresWe have stayed connected with your primary school teachers and have produced a focussed list of topics that most of our year 6’s have missed since the school closures.This list includes: - Converting measures- Perimeter, Area and Volume- Ratio- Properties of Shapes- Statistics

Home LearningFor each topic we will provide you with- A Knowledge Organiser

You will hear this phrase a lot during your time at OHA. This is an overview document that has the core knowledge (the facts you really need to know) for each block

- A worksheet/ Video link pack There will be a link to a video made by the white rose home learning team and a worksheet for you to practise the skills from each block.

- A mini assessment (A low stakes quiz)We would really like you to have a go at each quiz on your own and then use your answers to fill in your block self audit form on the link provided.

- Spelling TestWe might be a maths team, but we would like you to learn the followingspellings and definitions for each block.

Converting UnitsInto y7 – Measurement…

KeywordsLength: the distance from one point to another Mass: a measure of how much matter is in an object. Capacity: the amount an object can contain (normally liquids)Volume: the amount of 3-dimensional space an object takes up (units of length cubed) Convert: to change a value or expression from one value to another. Imperial: a system of weights and measures originally developed in England. Metric: a system of measuring that replaced the imperial system to fall in line with the rest of Europe. Proportion: values of two items that increase in the same ratio

What do I need to be able to do?

By the end of this unit you should be able to: • Recognise metric measures• Convert metric measures• Calculate with metric measures• Understand Miles and Kilometre

relationships• Recognise Imperial measures and

conversions

Metric measuresLength Common units of length or distance are

Millimetres (mm) – “Milli” prefix means one thousandth or ÷ 1000

Centimetres (cm) – “Centi” prefix means one hundredth or ÷ 100

Metres (m)

Kilometres (km) – “Kilo” prefix means a thousand ×1000

Average height of a man is 2m

Mass (Weight)Grams (g)

Kilograms (kg) – “Kilo” prefix means a thousand ×1000

Tonnes (t)

Capacity

Millilitre (ml) - “Milli” prefix means one thousandth or ÷ 1000

Litre (l)

Metric calculations

A package weighs 350g. How much will 7 packages weigh?Give your answers in kilograms

350 350 350 350 350 350 350

2450

The final weight is in grams

2450 ÷ 1000 = 2.45kg

g kg

÷ 1000 Calculations tips:• Do all calculations in the same unit (often

the smaller measurement)• Read for the units of your answer• Do all conversions of units at the same

time• Represent your image pictorially where

possible

Miles and Kilometres

5 miles ≈ 8 kilometres

≈ symbol represents “is approximately equal to”Miles and kilometres are normally used as measures of distance

Conversion calculations

How many kilometres is 15 miles? 5 miles ≈ 8 kilometres

15 miles ≈ 24 kilometres

Ron and Annie are running a 5-mile race. Who has run the furthest?

5 miles ≈ 8 kilometres

0.625 mile ≈ 1. kilometre÷ 8

x 6.44 miles ≈ 6.4 kilometre

Ron has 1.2 miles left to run Annie has 1 mile left to runAnnie has run the furthest

Imperial measures

2.5 cm ≈ 1 inch

Length

1 foot= 12 inches

Mass

1 pound (lb)= 16 ounces 1 stone= 14 pounds (lbs)

Capacity

1 gallon = 8 pints

In 1965 Britain converted to the metric system for measurement to fall in line with the rest of Europe. We still use an imperial

measurement of miles for distance and speed on our roads.

Perimeter, Area and Volume Into y7 – Measurement …

Keywords

Area: the size of a surface (2D shapes) Perimeter: the distance around a 2D shapeVolume: the amount of 3-dimensional space an object takes up (with liquid this is called capacity)Perpendicular: two lines that meet at 90°Vertex: a point where two or more-line segments meetFace: any of the flat surfaces of a solid object Edge: a line segment on the boundary joining one vertex to another Commutative: you can swap the order around in the calculation and still achieve the same answer

What do I need to be able to do?

By the end of this unit you should be able to: • Display same areas• Calculate area and perimeter• Find the area of a triangle • Find the area of a parallelogram• Find volume by counting cubes• Find the volume of a cuboid

@whisto_maths

Shapes with the same area

All the shapes have an area of 12cm2 – they are all made up of 12 squares.

The shapes below also have the same area

Area Rectangle/ Square area = Base x Height

Compound Shapes

Area of B4 x 5 = 20cm2

Area of AThe height of

shape A is 5cm2 x 5 = 10cm2

Total area 10 + 20Area A + Area B 30cm2= = =

Perimeter Length around the outside of the shape

In compound shapes make sure all the lengths have

measurements

Perimeter = 9cm + 8cm + 1cm + 7cm + 8cm + 1cm

= 34cm

Perimeter: often asks about boundaries or walls in questions

Area of triangles Area of parallelograms

Volume (counting cubes) Volume of cuboids

Area can be calculated by counting squares.

Often this is an estimation with triangles if it does not cut a square in half.

Notice the relationship between the square and the triangle.

Area triangle = 1

2area of the square

Right-angled triangles

The height of a right-angled triangle

Perpendicular heights

The perpendicular height meets the base

at 90°

Area triangle = 1

2x base x perpendicular height

Area = 1

2x 10 x 4 = 20cm2

Parallelogram = Base x Perpendicular height

Properties of parallelograms

• Two sets of parallel lines• Four sides (quadrilateral)• Interior angles = 360°• Opposite angles are equal• 2D shape

Area = 4 x 8 = 32cm2

Each cube has a given volume. E.g. 1cm3

This shape is made up of 3 cubes.

So the volume is 3cm3

Don’t forget about cubes you can’t see. This is a 3D shape.

The volume of this shape is 9cm3

Always check the units of measurement.

Volume can be mm3, cm3, m3, km3

Use multilink cubes to notice that volume can be any shape – it is the number of cubes that make up the value

Properties of cuboids• 3D shape• 8 vertices• 6 faces• 12 edges

2 cubes

Counting cubes

Counting the cubes = 56cm3

OR

There are 28 cubes on the bottom row and two rows. 28 x 2 = 56

Volume of cuboid = length x width x height

4cm7cm

2cm

Volume = 4 x 7 x 2 = 56cm3

Remember multiplication is commutative so the values can be multiplied in any order

When you log in as the student this will be your home page

Each lesson has a range of objectives. This is a good way for you to refresh yourself on all the basics that will be needed for September (it includes a lot of things you should already know)

There are questions and help videos, revision sections and lots of amazing resources to keep you on top of your maths revision.

Year 7

Maths at OHA

When you arrive with us in year 7 you will have four maths lessons a week. You will be given a new book and a book cover so you can keep the book tidy as you bring it to and from school.

The expectation is that you take your book home each night with you and bring it back in for your next lesson.

We LOVE to encourage the use of calculators (did you know that when you get to year 11 – TWO out of your three maths papers will use a calculator). We recommend you get a Casio FX-83GTX, they vary in price but can often be found on offer in supermarkets etc.

At OHA we write in blue or black pen and draw all our images using rulers and pencils. Extras you might want are highlighters for making notes easier to read and a small geometry set can help (protractor, ruler, compass etc.).

Below is an outline of the topics you are going to cover over your first year.

Challenges

“Getting connected”

We would love to get to know you and see what you have been doing and how you are getting on with your new OHA workbook.

We have two forms of social media in our maths department both called @OHA_maths. We use both Instagram and Twitter. If you want to take some photos of you doing lots of hard work or are proud of your hard work then please send us the videos and

if you are happy for us to share them we will – if not then that’s fine too… they will just be shared between the maths teachers so we can start to recognise some faces! And if you

don’t feel part of the action just yet – maybe just follow to start to see some of the things going on at OHA!

Please keep checking the OHA website and the transition page. We will do an introduction to you from us all on there and also

some of our teachers might want to set you some smaller challenges just for fun! So watch this space!
