WEDNESDAY 22nd APRIL
Good morning everyone.
From today I will post the MNP workbook answer pages so you can see how you got on with yesterday’s MNP lesson.
Maths No Problem
Chapter 8 Decimals: Lesson 12 ………… Making Number Patterns
Textbook pages 38 39 Workbook pages 23 24
Lesson Notes: To begin this lesson, show pupils the In Focus task and ask them to study the number pattern formed by Charles. Can they read the number pattern aloud? Guide them to read it as 3 tenths, 4 tenths, 5 tenths, 6 tenths, 7 tenths… What could the next number be? If pupils say 8 tenths, ask them what rule they used.
Work through Let’s Learn 1. Use number discs and a number line to show that the rule used in the number pattern is to add 1 tenth each time. Ask pupils to find the next three numbers and write the number pattern in decimals. Guide them to see that when they reach 9 tenths, the next number, 10 tenths, must be regrouped to make 1. Regrouping must also be done for 11 tenths, 12 tenths and so on.
Ask pupils to study the number pattern created by Holly and allow them time to discuss what the number pattern rule could be. Ask them if they can find the next 5 numbers. Then work through Let’s Learn 2, encouraging pupils to read the number pattern aloud.
During Guided Practice, pupils are adding and subtracting 1 tenth and 1 hundredth to/from decimal and whole numbers.
Arithmetic:
Try this maths card trick that involves lots of mental calculation and then try it out on your Mum and Dad
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 7,8,9
3rd are there any other words in the story that you are unfamiliar with?
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.
