Exploring Measurement & Fractions
We are excited to share what our Grade 7 students have been learning in Mathematics. Over the past few weeks, they have been honing their skills in measurement, working with circumference, area, and volume of various shapes. Through hands-on activities and problem-solving challenges, students have explored real-world applications, discovering how these concepts relate to everyday life—whether measuring a circular garden or determining how much space a rectangular prism like a box takes up.
Now, as we move forward, students have begun their journey into fractions. The current focus is on mastering addition and subtraction of fractions, an essential skill that lays the foundation for higher-level mathematical thinking. A key part of this process is learning how to find the lowest common denominator, which helps make calculations smoother and more efficient.
At home, you can support your child by encouraging practical applications of these concepts. Cooking is a great way to reinforce fractions—whether measuring ingredients or doubling a recipe. Similarly, discussing shapes and measurements around the house (such as estimating the area of a table or calculating the volume of a box) can deepen their understanding.
We are proud of our students’ progress and look forward to seeing their confidence in Maths grow! Thank you for your continued support in their learning journey.
