Subtraction support

Watch this tutorial to help you subtract from a multiple of 10

Now have a go at this, for subtracting from multiples of 100 or 1000. Pause the video to make sure you really understand the first part, about the difference between two numbers. Get out some beads, coins, pasta or something so that you can prove it, by physically moving things. If it makes your brain too fuzzy, don’t worry! We will do it again when we are back at school.

Learn to draw ... Fingers McGraw!

If you share your drawing through Edmodo, I will post it on twitter for Ed to see!

Thursday maths

Subtraction problems


For your maths today, select the right chilli challenge for you. You can either pick one of the sheets, or problems from the group of sheets.

 You do not need to do all the questions, but you need to do at least 6. If you want to keep going, that's fine! Make sure you read carefully and look for the clues (the important words) in the problems. Draw the story if you need to. Use columns to subtract, then write your answer in words. The answers are on the second page of the first files. For the word document (the mixed problems), you will have to get an adult to check with you.

Chilli 1 problems
Chilli 2 problems
Chilli 3 problems
Chilli 3+ problems

Alternative Chilli 1, 2 and 3 problems

(If you have difficulty accessing these files, they are also in the folders section of Edmodo)


Look back at the class grid for your English work and other activities.

Subtraction, Wednesday 29th April

Watch the tutorial if you need a reminder about subtraction. Remember that we call it exchange, not borrowing (we are exchanging 1 ten for 10 ones, or 100 for 10 tens etc)

Pick the challenge that is right for you! If it is too easy, have a go at the next challenge. Make sure you look for the exchanges before you start calculating (make sure most of your calculations have exchanges!). Remember to write your calculations as columns.

Chilli 1: 2-digit numbers take away 2-digit numbers e.g. 76 - 38 =

Chilli 2: 3-digit numbers take away 2 or 3-digit numbers e.g. 457 - 88 =          534 - 286 =

Chilli 3: 4 - digit numbers take away 3-digit or 4-digit numbers e.g. 7236 - 1879=         7236 - 768=



English

As well as the activity on the grid, make sure that you read to someone today and think carefully about what you have read (make sure you understand!)

Charlotte's Web pictures

What is similar and different about your illustrations: did you draw Fern, the box by the stove, the small yard outside, Fern feeding Wilbur, Wilbur hiding in the straw? Remember, everyone has their own ideas and imagines things their own way. This is a good thing!

For those of you who would like another science . art activity!

Tuesday 28th April

Once you have completed your maths on the grid, have a go at these problems. Remember to read carefully, draw things in your book if needed, talk about them and think!

If you want to do some more maths after this, check out the sumdog challenges.

Come back to the blog later for the pictures for English.

Learning at home week 2

Please find the learning at home grid here. It can also be found in the folders of Edmodo and on the class page of the website. If you have any questions, you can leave a comment here, or via messages in edmodo. As with last week, you can pick and choose the activities that you do, though the English and maths are sequential. Hoowever, you could have a maths day or an English day if you prefer learning that way. We will also post some optional activities throughout the week. Have fun! Stay safe :-) 

English, Monday

Friday!

Good morning lovelies! Head over to the files section on Edmodo, or the class page of the website, and check out the work for Friday. Don’t forget the PE sessions and some learning outdoors, if you like. There are some great science experiments that you could try at home this weekend, in the video right at the end of the science section. You can also try the additional maths activity if you like ~ there will be new badges to be earned!

Thursday 23rd April

Good morning lovelies! Hope you are all ready and raring to go! Don't forget to warm your maths brains up with some counting activities (maybe whilst exercising?) or times tables, or Sumdog.

Pick the chilli challenge that's right for you, from the link below. The answers are there, ready for when you have finished them, so you can check your own, If you get one wrong, go back and try to find out why. Remember, that's the best kind of learning!

Extension activity

Click on the picture to enlarge it if needed

Here's that metacognitive bit! Evaluate how you did. What made it easy / hard. What strategies did you use? Were they successful? What helped? You don't have to write these answers, you could think them or talk to your family. This is an important part of you knowing yourself as a learner and becoming an even better mathmatician!

Wednesday 22nd April

Use the tutorials to help with your maths today, if you need them.

The first is for tens and ones, the second video covers thousands, hundreds, tens and ones.

Even better than addition (though probably not as mathematical) is Mr Gum and the Biscuit Biliionaire, read by the actual, real life, not Miss BB in dressing up clothes, Sir Andy Stanton! Enjoy! (You can even save it for PJ and duvet time. Or just put your PJs on?)

Tuesday 21st April

Hello lovelies! These should help you with your learning at home today.

Also head over to the BBC site here for some more -ation words.

Then have a little break snack whilst you do some home learning and learn about a word with the actual Andy Stanton who wrote Mr Gum!!

So, go on - ask the nincompoops! 

Don't forget to have a go at some of the times tables challenges in sumdog. If you can't remember your password, you can send me a message in Edmodo. Make sure that you practise your mental maths skills too, so that you become quick and accurate. How many activities can you complete? We will be practising these most weeks so that you all get super speedy. 

Remember to select some things from the PE grid today too and share what you have been doing on Edmodo. We look forward to reading your posts!f

Have fun you gorgeous little acorns! 

Welcome back!
