Good morning everyone. Hope you are all well.
How did you get on with the daily tasks yesterday?
Here are the answers to yesterday’s mental maths questions. I have got one deliberately wrong. Can you spot which one it is?
53 x 10 = 530 67 x 10 = 670 43 x 10= 430 54 x 10 = 540 24 x 10 = 240
343 x 10 = 3,430 587 x 10 = 5,870 619 x 10 =6,109 213 x 10 =2,130 765 x 10 = 7,650
I know that you’ll all say that when you multiply by 10 you ‘just add a zero’ – but did you understand from the video that when you multiply by 10 every digit moves 1 place to the left (because it’s getting 10 times bigger) which leaves a zero in the units column as a ‘place holder’?
Today’s tasks are as follows …..
Maths No Problem
Chapter 8 Decimals: Lesson 2 Writing Tenths
Textbook pages 5,6,7 Workbook pages 3 & 4
Today’s lesson requires a Place Value Chart and some counters. You can just draw a chart on a piece of paper (see Let’s Learn 1 for an example). The lesson focuses on the ‘value’ of the counter (digit) depending on its ‘place’ (position) on the chart.
Lesson Notes: To begin this lesson, display a place-value chart (ones and tenths) and show pupils you have 5 discs. Tell them that each disc can represent either 1 or 0.1. Tell them you are thinking of a number that has ones and tenths and can be formed using the 5 discs. Put 3 discs in the ones column and 2 in the tenths column. Ask pupils what the number is. Tell them that 3 discs in the ones column means there are 3 ones and 2 discs in the tenths column means there are 2 tenths. Write these down as you explain. Then continue to write and explain that 3 ones + 2 tenths is equal to 3 + 0.2, which is equal to 3.2. We read this as 3 and 2 tenths.
Work through two more examples with pupils – 2 and 3 tenths (Let’s Learn 2) and 1 and 4 tenths (Let’s Learn 3). Ask them if any other numbers can be made. Allow a few pupils to try making a different number using the 5 discs. There are 3 other possibilities: 4.1, 0.5 and 5.0. Conclude by stating that we can make 6 numbers using 5 discs.
Ask pupils to work in pairs and provide each pair with 4 discs and a place-value chart. Tell pupils that each disc can be 1 or 0.1. Ask them to take turns to think of a number made up of ones and tenths that can be made using the 4 discs, then their partner writes and reads the number. Ask them to make as many numbers as possible using the 4 discs. They should be able to make 5 numbers: 1.3, 2.2, 3.1, 0.4 and 4.0.

Multiplying by 100
see tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Y0zSnhiShc
51 x 100 = 62 x 100 = 49 x 100= ? x 100 = 9900 ? x 100 = 8700
231 x 100 = 53 x 100 = 86 x 100= ? x 100 = 12,300 ? x 100 = 42,500
Writing Task
A grammar lesson today about the difference between plural and possessive ‘s.’ Don’t panic. Watch the video at this link: https://central.espresso.co.uk/espresso/primary_uk/subject/module/video/item361698/grade2/module305320/collection361818/section361774/index.html
…. then do the online quiz, quiz plus and activity. If you have time, come up with some sentences where you are using a plurals, and singular & plural possession.
The log in details are below … plug them in and that should take you to the video
Good luck
