I have listed lots of different activities for you to choose from for the week. We will have a Time and Money focus this week in games and written activities but I would like you to continue to practise your times tables daily. You will also have a couple of Sumdog challenges to complete.

How about using your multiplication tables in a creative way? Above you can see a multiplication flower. Why not create a multiplication garden over the week with lots of colour and a variety of flower shapes for each times table.
Remember the importance of getting your body moving in maths. I’m sure you’ve tried bouncing, skipping. throwing, jumping etc when practising your mental calculating. Keep that up. What about linking arms with someone at home and marching around the house or garden. Choose a times table and each time you get to a multiple do a hop, skip, jump, quiet voice, loud voice! Or pat hands together and each time you hit a multiple you have to do something different, like turn around or bounce to the ground and back up… the possibilities are endless!
Remember we did algebra in class? We got sticks, stones etc (or pizza toppings) and gave each thing a value. We then created calculations for others to solve. How about gathering some bits and pieces and having a go. Maybe someone could create one for you to solve?
How about practising your measuring skills with some baking? Accurate measures are really important for a great cake! Maybe you could calculate the difference between different ingredients or calculate totals? Flour and sugar added together? Difference between the butter measure and the flour etc? So you get to do maths then enjoy a lovely piece of home baking after! Win win!
This link has some maths activities you can take outside.
