Welcome back 7F2! This term, our main focus is learning various concepts using the Olympics context. The main areas we will be covering are fractions, decimals, ratios, geometry, measurement, and statistics. We will start with decimals. First, we will understand the concepts and then will solve some problem-solving questions related to sports of the Olympic Games.

• Calculate circumference of a circle
• Read a scale and interpret real life distances
• Measure and calculate speed/distance and time
• Use appropriate metric units and tools to measure a specific event
• Find the difference in time, distance and speed when data is given in decimal, fraction and ratios

Statistics

• Organise data onto a frequency table
• Identify the 'x' and 'y' axis to accurately plot data onto graphs  
• Apply the TAILS acronym to display data effectively
• Interpret graphs (line graphs, bar and dot plots)
• Calculate averages (mean, median, mode and range) 
• Use the graphing skills to choose the best graph to display the data
