Happy Friday.

Most students handed in their Study Sheets for the upcoming Math test.  This test will happen during the last period on Monday.  The students will be allowed to use their Study Sheet, if they completed one.  There should be opportunities today to review, by completing some co-operative work, along with playing some links to some games that I have been re-posting over the past month:

Pay close attention to the questions on Area.  Work through all of the games.  Do this today and, if you can, over the weekend.

Grade 7:  There are enough links here to help you review some of the work we have done so far.

This Funbrain website activity is probably the best place to start because you can select the level of difficulty for either Perimeter or Area of both:  http://www.funbrain.com/poly/index.html

Another solid review of Perimeter and Area.  You may either select from Area or Perimeter when you click on the link:  http://www.bgfl.org/bgfl/custom/resources_ftp/client_ftp/ks2/maths/perimeter_and_area/index.html

An Area and Perimeter game that uses a grid.  You can check your answers, once you are done:

This is a virtual version of the activity we used with Geoboard and elastic bands:

A game that involves an understanding of both Perimeter and Area.  You are in charge of designing the layout for a party:  http://www.mathplayground.com/PartyDesigner/PartyDesigner.html
