Weekly outline

  • General

  • 3 February - 9 February

    Dear all,

    Welcome to 7F2MAT20 class!


    I am Mr Chen. 

    My email address is nchen@mhjc.school.nz if there is a need to contact me.

    The main structure of the course will be posted on this website, and learning will be supplemented with learning activities and additional resources in the classroom.   

    Homework will be set from Maths Buddy once ready, and you may also have additional homework from class.

    As maths is similar to language learning, regular practice is highly recommended. It is an expectation that maths is practiced everyday, whether in class or at home.


    You will need to be prepared for learning by bringing your workbook, writing instruments, a scientific calculator, and a charged laptop to class. As maths is a skill, or even a type of kungfu. All "working out" will still be done in your workbook.

    I look forward to working with you through our Maths journey and helping you explore this subject to your full potential.


    Kind regards,

    Mr Chen

    Activity Instructions:

    1. On an A4 piece of paper, Add a heading ‘Putting the Animal Kingdom into Proportion’ (You can make up your own heading if you prefer eg, "The scale of my favourite animals" or "Ocean Creatures to Scale")

    2. Pick around 6 (or more) different sized animals and research on the internet how big your animals grow to be. (eg human, dog, elephant, blue whale, giant squid etc) It is a nice idea to compare yourself with a giraffe for example. 

    Extension: to choose smaller animals and compare these - so you would be working with cm and mm. 

    eg Species of Dogs: Husky, Great Dane, Fox Terrier, Jack Russell. If a Jack Russell grows to 38cm, the scale would be 3.8cm and a Great Dane grows to 1.2m, that is 120cm so the scale would be 12cm (Divide all measurements by 10)

    3. Draw in your dot guides (as shown on this video) For every meter, measure 1 cm on the paper.

    4. Fill in the space between the dots exactly with a drawing of your animal. (It doesn’t have to be a work of art, keep it simple)

    5. Upload it on Google Classroom 7 Maths Forest. See my example here. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1sJX1_IYafZIlc5gRjSsjRBLx46p54gWHl5xS3-XcStg/edit

    My example is Ok - you can present your work in a much more creative way. Take the challenge!! Give it a frame - colour it in, arrange your animals in groups, the sky is the limit.

    Best Posters will get printed in colour and posted up on the walls.
