Good morning everyone.
Maths No Problem
1st Answer pages for Tuesday’s Lesson 3
Today’s lesson: Chapter 9 Money Lesson 4 Rounding amounts of money
Lesson Objective: To be able to round amounts of money to the nearest £1 and £10.
Textbook pages: 69 – 71 Workbook pages 48 – 49
Lesson Notes: To begin this lesson, ask pupils if they have been to a cafe before. How do we know what to choose? How do we know how much items cost? Tell them your friend has gone into a cafe and wants to buy something that costs around £2.
Show pupils the In Focus task and ask them to discuss possible answers and share them with the class. Are all the items around £2? What about £1.80? Remind pupils about rounding to the nearest whole number and tell them we want to find out which item is closest to £2 using rounding to help. Work through Let’s Learn showing them how to round the amounts using the number line.
During Guided Practice, pupils are rounding amounts of money to the nearest £1 and £10.

Open this link to hear a song that will help you.
Answer these: … remember to line up the tenths and hundredths
4.5 + 2.3 = 6.3 + 2.2 = 2.13 + 2.11 = 5.42 + 2.34 =
7.37 + 1.2 = 3.05 + 2.32 = 5.3 + 3.33 =
Writing Task
This week I would like you to continue to write out your own innovated story using the plan that you made last week.
I would like you to continue to write 1 section each day so that you can focus on using the writer’s skills that you practiced last week and you can ensure that you have accurate spelling and punctuation.
So today, have a go at writing section 4 – page 21
If you wrote out the whole story last week then this week I would like you to practice your reading comprehension.

Spellings
Don’t forget to practice this week’s spellings: experience, experiment, extreme, famous, favourite
