FRIDAY 24th APRIL
Good morning everyone.
Maths No Problem
1st Yesterday’s answer pages
Chapter 8 Decimals: Lesson 14 Rounding Decimals
Textbook pages 45 46 47 Workbook pages 27 28
Lesson Notes: To begin this lesson, show pupils the In Focus task and ask them how we could use what we know about rounding to estimate the total mass. Display the ‘top tips’ for rounding that was generated in the previous lesson.
Work through Let’s Learn to show the class how to round the amounts in each basket. Encourage pupils to use the key vocabulary, i.e. ‘is nearer to’, ‘approximately’ and ‘to the nearest’, when talking with their partners. Ask questions to probe pupils’ understanding, such as: Where should I place __ on the number line? Is it closer to __ or __? What is the closest whole number? Show them how to round the three amounts and mentally calculate the estimated total.
During Guided Practice, pupils are rounding numbers with 1 decimal place to the nearest whole number.
Mental Maths/Arithmetic
Another card game to help with quick addition and problem solving
Writing Task
The writing tasks over the next 2 weeks will be taken from the Talk For Writing .. Home – School booklet which you can find if you open this link:
The idea is that each day I will post on the daily tasks, which task from the booklet to do. There is no need for you to print out the booklet, you could do the tasks in your exercise book.
Today I would like you to:
1st practice telling the model text using the story map you drew yesterday
2nd read and do the activities on pages 11
Spellings for the week are: early, earth, eight, enough, exercise
Please don’t forget to read today. ‘The more you read, the more you know. The more you know, the more places you will go.’ You should be able to access the book quizzes and don’t forget to go on Lexia (if you have a log in) for 15 minutes each day. Well done everyone.
