Lets try to answer some multiplication word problems focusing on the 2 times table.

Remember you can draw pictures to help you! Have a look back at Wednesdays task as an example of how to work these out. Give these a go in your little red maths jotter.

Ask someone at home to help you read the question if you are struggling.

Triangles and Squares

In your pack you have a sheet of times tables word problems, complete this today. Remember the different strategies you can use to help you eg, skip counting, grouping, repeated addition and arrays.

Treasure hunts are great fun, a fantastic way to keep busy and  spend time with people at home!

Have a go with this scavenger hunt.
Remember to tidy up after you’ve found everything on your list! Here’s the link to our tidy up song…

You can also try the outdoor scavenger hunt if you have a garden.

As an extra challenge why don’t you create your own scavenger hunt for you or someone at home to complete! Write it down in your blue home learning jotter and  time how long it takes you to find all the items on your list!

Happy Hunting 🙂

WRITING

As we aren’t to leave our houses for the next little while it is difficult to talk to the people you usually see everyday. In the classroom we have been learning how to write letters and understand that we write letters to communicate with people.

We know that letters are written in three parts…

• Introduction/Beginning – This is where we explain why we are writing to the person we have chosen.
• Middle  – Where we go into more detail and ask any questions we would like to ask.
• End – This is where we thank our reader and hope for a reply.

Your writing task today is to write a letter to a friend or family member you do not live with. This could be anyone you have not seen for a little while.  Think about what you could ask them, tell them what you have been doing while you have been at home. What have you played with? What have you learned?

In your home learning packs I have included a letter template which could help you.

Remember the order…

• Address
• Date
• Dear
• The 3 parts of your letter
• Name

Have fun!

Good Morning Primary 3.

On your timetable today  we have Numeracy, Literacy, Daily 15, Reading, Newsround and another Home Learning Challenge!

Rainbows

All over the world right now people are experiencing a difficult time. To try and fill the word with some positivity lots of children are creating drawings or paintings of rainbows to display in their windows. These give bright, positive messages to the world to say everything will be okay.

Your task is to show how creative you can be.

Can you draw, paint or colour your own rainbow picture to display in your own window? Show how creative you can be. You can even post pictures of you and your rainbow picture on our class blog.

Lets try and spread some positivity 🙂

Remember we have to stay positive and enjoy the time we have with our families too.

Have fun 🙂

Daily 15

For todays daily 15 I would like you to take 15 minutes to try to make up your own game or sport!

Play your game with someone at home! Remember to keep score 🙂

Have fun!
