Maths Matters at Magdalene
Assessment Schedules
The Mathematics Resource Centre (available through Compass, on the star dropdown menu) provides Assessment Schedules for all Mathematics courses. While students will receive Assessment Notifications for formal Assessment Tasks via Google Classroom, reviewing the Assessment Schedule in advance can help students to begin preparing for their tasks earlier and allow them to have more time to identify areas where they may need additional study or practice.
Additionally, students are encouraged to utilise the range of resources available in the Mathematics Resource Centre to supplement their learning in the classroom and further enhance their understanding of mathematical concepts.

MATHS MARVEL:
Did you know that while we commonly call sector graphs "pie charts", these circular graphs are known by various names around the world? In French, they're often referred to as "diagrammes en Camembert" because of their resemblance to a sliced wheel of Camembert cheese. Similarly, in Spanish, they're called "gráficos de torta" or "tarta," reflecting their resemblance to a sliced dessert pie.
MATHS MYSTERY - Course: Year 9 Mathematics
Families are encouraged to tackle this problem together.
If I double Tiana’s age in years and add 20, I get the same result as when I triple her age in years and subtract 12. How old is Tiana?
Stay tuned for the next edition to reveal the answer to this Maths Mystery.
