Practice Presentations

Below are the recordings of our practice presentations.  Have a look at your video and see where you can improve.  Remember, we identified 5 areas that are important when speaking to an audience:

1. Speak loud enough
2. Speak clearly
3. Look up at the audience when you are speaking.
4. Stay still, try not to fidget.
5. Don't speak to fast, and include pauses.

I'm going to add one more to that list:

6. Speak with expression

Here are the videos.  They are in a playlist, so you have to search through the playlist to find yours.  You can click the button in the top left corner to easily find yours.

Time yourself in these times tables quizzes.  See if you can improve.

Area and Perimeter Activity

Click here to go to this activity.

Choose area or perimeter to practice.  After a short tutorial you will have activities to complete.  Start with Level 1 or 2.  After getting an answer correct, go back to the main menu and choose again.  You can do the same level a number of times because it will be a different question each time.

Do your work on a white board or on scrap paper.
