Maths Wiki Page

Hi

Check out the Sarah's wiki page for some cool animations.

Remember the main focus of this is to create a lesson on some topic of algebra that you are going to use to teach someone in your class (and also your parents) about your topic.

• I would like you to give your topic a title.
• I would like you to write some notes about your topic.
• I would like you to give definitions of any maths words you use in your lesson.
• I would like you to insert a table and have a picture in your table linked to an online maths lesson and an explanation of what you will do after you have followed the link.

Have fun
