Tuck Shop – Spicy – Numeracy – Money

I made a tuck shop at home.  I picked out items to sell and created my own price list.

I then opened the shop up to customers (my family).  They were to pick one item and then pay using a £1 coin.  I then had to work out how much change they would get back.

I used the ’empty number line’ method to work out their change.  After doing this a few times I became more confident and could then use this method in my own head.

I then extended my shop, adding more items and creating a new price list.

During this game the customer was allowed to pick a few items.  I then had to add them up to see how much the total cost would be.  To do this I separated the numbers into tens and units to make the addition part easier to visualise.  Again, this process became easier in my head after practising on paper first.

There are so many strategies we can use to add and subtract.  See how many you can use for this task.  You might have a favourite method.  Let your teacher know it! 😊

Compare the Supermarkets – Spicy/Hot

Today’s maths challenge is related to our ‘Money’ theme.  You will be given a shopping list and challenged to find the best value online supermarket.

A minimum of 2 supermarkets should be selected, however if you wish a slightly HOTTER challenge you can, of course, choose more.

Instructions and a shopping list are contained in the Sway.

Ensure that you stick to the guidelines, and keep an eye open at all times for any special offers, such as ‘3 for 2’ or  ‘Buy-One-Get-One-Free’ as these offer good value for money.

Remember to post your results on Seesaw or write them in your jotter, and come back to the Blog to tell us how you got on!

MILD: Numeracy – Shadow Puppets with Shapes

The pictures of your drawings that some of you have sent in look amazing.

It is really interesting how a collection of simple shapes can look like an animal.

Today we are going to do the same with our shapes.

By grouping shapes together in a certain way you get an outline of a line that goes all the way around. When you have these grouped shapes all together in one colour it has a special name…Do you know what it is?

They are called Silhouettes.

Today we are going to create some simple silhouettes and cast their shadow out in the grass to imagine they are in our jungle. You can also set up a torch indoors and play with your shadow puppets.

Follow the Sway below to learn more…

Remember to send in pictures of your work to your teacher through email or seesaw.

MILD: HWB & Art – Symmetry in Nature

Did you all enjoy your symmetry walks last week?

The pictures you sent in were great some went exploring on their walks and some hunted around their bedrooms.

Today we are going to look at symmetry in nature and complete a painting activity.

You may have to make your own paint, which I found really fun, as I had to be curious and try and make my own colours.
