I mean before !
Yes , I understand .
Good. See you tomorrow.
Hi mrs.Tibble!
I am just doing some last minute revision. But I forgot my book at school (silly billy)
so it’s a+b x the height divided by 2 for the . . . um . . . oh! Trapezium! and what is it for the parallelogram? just the height x the base divided by 2? and i have forgotten what it is for the triangle oops. help!

i have just found out that the triangle is just bxh divided 2 but what is the parallelogram? bxh?
MRS Tibble, will we be tested on that japaneese method (and the italian and russian one too)because i can not remember one thing about them. Im so cross with myself for forgetting my book!
Hi mrs.tibble will we be tested 4 all the types of methods? also when u r subtracting and adding with minus numbers which way do we move up or down the scale temperature thingy?
Hi guys,
Sorry – the server has been down all evening and has only just come back online. Leaving you this message in case you look in tomorrow.
When you need to multiply, you can use any method you like (provided it works!!)
If you are adding or subtracting a negative number go the opposite way along the number line to the way you would go with a positive number.
Area of parallelogram = base x height.
Good luck everyone
Hi mrs.Tibble i know i’m not in your class (anymore!) but you replied 2 my message so,it is page1 excercise 1.1, sequences, question 6a. The reason i am confuzzled is ’cause the book says the term to term rule (what is a term to term rule?) is x3 -1 but the numbers showing are 1,5……. and you have 2 fill in the rest but 1 x 3 = 3 – 1 = 2 and the next number on in the sequence is 5,so i don’t get how that can be? =0 =0 ????
Hi Keavy,
A term-to-term rule tells you how to move from one term to the next, so you are applying it correctly.
I seem to recall from last year that this question confused everybody so I think there is actually a misprint here. If the first term was 2, then 2×3=6 and 6-1=5 (DON’T use = between things that aren’t equal please), so it would work using that rule. I would start your sequence with 2 and tell Mr W there’s a misprint. Have fun
JT
OK,THANK-YOU!!! =D
Hellooooo mrs.Tibble i am really sorry 2 ask again and kind of late but i am now stuck on page1 ex 1.1 Q7a (and i don’t think it’s a misprint this time!;D) because the sequence only tells you 3 numbers in the sequence and they are not consecutive so i’m finding it quite tricky!!!! =D
Sorry Keavy, just got in from a school concert. If you are still around, can you give me the sequence as I haven’t got a book here. Thank you.
Hi Mrs Tibble! For the last question on todays homework, are you assuming that the monkey eats a peach every time?
P.S- hate to be nosy, but how come you dont play in the orchestra anymore? I think last year you used to…
Hi Nadia,
Yes, he eats one peach each day in the same pattern as the other 2 problems.
I do play in the orchestra – just don’t go to every rehearsal (staff prerogative!)
Are you enjoying the monkey problem?
JT
Thnx! Just came back from my theory exam(for piano) yes, I am enjoying the monkey puzzle! I found it really fun and sort of challenging!
Hi mrs.T!
I am really stuck on the fractions in a box question. i have done Q1&2 but they are probably not right, i’ll tell you anyway: igot 84 for Q1 and 1 fourteenth for Q2. Are they right? I’m stuck on Q3 though.
HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP!!!!!!
Gemma
Hi Gemma,
Have you tried drawing it on squared paper? Work out the fractions with the number you’ve got and see if it works. See if the reds fit in as described. Seems fine so far
JT
Mrs. Tibble
I am completely stuck and don’t get any of the homework about the fractions in a box please help
Hi Imogen,
Try drawing it. The booklet is square so think about the space that it will occupy with different sized squares. Half of the discs are red, which is telling you the number of squares left for discs must be even. It also tells you that the red discs fill some full rows of 10 plus 2 short rows next to the booklet. That piece of information should tell you which size square the booklet is.
Hope that helps.
JT
please answer soon i have to go to bed soon
thanx
Hi mrs Tibble, i am feeling a bit ill, and probably wont be able to come to school tommorow… if i am right, i think we have maths homework tommorow, so could you please tell me what subject we’re studying? Thnx, Nadia
Nadia, concentrate on getting better and stop worrying about maths lol!! We’ll be doing some more work on fractions so enjoy being tucked up in bed
JT
Mrs Tibble i can not remember the pattern for the homework ,unit fractions what was the rule . I remember the consecutive bit but i cannot work out how to get the answer
Hi Jessica, the consecutive numbers for the first denominator and the product for the second denominator, is only one way of doing it. The others you need to do by trying other values, using fractions over the same denominator which cancel down to unit fractions.
hello Mrs TibbleI’m stuck on a question it says:
Bill had 5/7 of a box of chocolates left. Jane ate 1/2 of these. What fraction of the box of chocolates has Bill now got left?
P.S it is Qu 7 on page 18
Hi Imogen,
You can’t halve 5/7 because 5 is an odd number, so if you can rewrite it as an equivalent fraction where the numerator is even, you’ll be able to take half of it away.
Does that help?
JT
yh it helped thanx
Hi mrs.Tibble i know i am not in your class, but on p19,Q3a i am really ‘stuck in the mud’ because i have no idea what the number was they are starting from is, SO IM NOT SURE HOW YOU CAN WORK IT OUT!!!??? heeeellllpppp!!! =0
Hi keavy are u there?
connie
yeah hi connie can u help???? IM REALLY WORRIED CAUSE IM NOT SURE HOW TO WORK OT P19,Q3A CAUSE I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT NUMBER THE ANNOYING SONIA IN THE BOOK STARTED ON????? IF N+3= NUMBER OF RED TRIANGLES AND 2N = NUMBER OF BLUE PATTERNS THEN WHAT IS THE 10TH NUMBER IN THE PATTERN??? HELP,HOW DO YOU WORK THIS OUT??? =0
Keavy – Sonya is not annoying!!
She starts her sequence with the first pattern – pattern number 1.
Next comes her second pattern – pattern number 2.
Then we have her third pattern – pattern number 3.
Get it?
JT
PLZ SOMEONE HELP I CANNOT WORK OUT THE ANSWERS FOR ANY OF THE QUESTIONS,AND I HAVE A MATHS TEST 2MORROW I AM SOOOO WORRIED!!!!!! :S :0
Keavy – first, will you please stop shouting: it is not necessary. Secondly, have you tried reading the responses above where I have actually tried to help you.
JT
tHANKZ MRS.TIBBLE,DOES THAT MEAN THAT THE 10TH PATTERN IS 10N + 30????
thats what i got Kev
I was stuck on Q5 and Q6 they are VVVV hard
Keavy – turn your caps lock off and stop shouting or I won’t answer any more of your questions.
Answer: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
What is the pattern number for the tenth pattern?
sorry!!lol! erm not sure is it 10n+3,? and con-con those questions are really hard!????
Keavy, if you have all the patterns in front of you, and you number them, what number would you give the tenth pattern?
Let’s try again with something you do understand! If you were numbering the pages of a book, what number would be on the tenth page?
10?
BINGO! Finally. So the value you use for n each time is it’s pattern number. Thus, if it’s the 7th pattern, n has the value 7. If it’s the hundredth term, n has the value 100!
lol bye
Connie
yyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyy thanku so much mrs.Tibble!!! i like the word bingo now!!!! =D
Hi Mrs Tibble,
I’m really confused; is the golden ratio that sequence where it goes: 1,1,2,3,5,8,13 ect? And if it is, what’s that sequence called when it goes 1+2+3………….+1000?
The first sequence is Fibonacci.
The other one doesn’t have a name.
but what is the golden ration then???
is it the same as the fibonacci
