This is the link for the week ahead’s daily lessons on BBC Bitesize.

We were working with fractions so the maths section may be helpful.

We worked with fact and opinion when we looked at the myths and legends about the Egyptian gods and the curse of Tutankhamun so the English lesson on fact and opinion is interesting.

Dundee Science Centre have some great activities this week based on science, technology, engineering and mathemetics.  Each day you will hear from an expert in their area of STEM and they will tell you all about their job. STEM is hugely important for now and the future.

There are two challenges to complete if you wish and you can even email one of the STEM experts to advise you.

There are two Sumdog challenges for the week for you to have a go at.

Cubes and cylinders have a go at one of these.

Remember to do 4 chimney calculations to demonstrate your knowledge of the addition and subtraction process, then write 4 fact family sentences. See below to remind yourself of what they look like.

Can you do one chimney calculation to work out the whole and then write 4 fact family sentences?

Time

Use the class clock on Topmarks maths to convert these digital times into analogue times.

https://www.topmarks.co.uk/time/teaching-clock

11:30             9:15              4:00             2:45

Then do the same with these examples.

10.23             12.47           8.03              7: 36

Ask someone at home to show you an analogue time (clock with hands) and using the teaching clock show them it on a digital clock. If you want to extend yourself use 24 hour clock. 24 hour clock is how we tell the difference between 6 o’clock in the morning and 6 o’clock in the evening. Parents, here is a link to a great website that has lots of helpful hints and activities for helping with all sorts of subjects, including time.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zkfycdm/articles/zcrmqty

This YouTube video isn’t very exciting but its a maths teacher explaining very clearly how to calculate 24 hour time, if you need a reminder! Remember to ask if its ok to go on YouTube.

Ante meridiem or a.m. is the time before midday

Time to give yourself a mid week times table drill! Get on your trampoline, bounce or pass a ball, skip, jump, go up and down a step, do squats , jumping jacks, burpees – whatever physical activity you want to do, do it while saying a times table you find challenging. That will really get you breathless! Involve a partner to shout out random tables to you as you do your exercise.

If you have an outdoor space and some chalk write some of your tables on the ground or leave the answer blank and get someone to time you filling in the answers. Or maybe you could compete with a partner with a different colour to see who is more confident! You could do this on paper too.

Select the times table option on the Funky Mummy game.

Lots of times tables games here too.

b) Share 24 leaves between eight caterpillars. How many leaves will each caterpillar get?

c) Share 30 carrots between five donkeys. How many carrots will each donkey get?

d) Share 21 books between seven students. How many books will each student get?

e)Share 60 fish between 10 penguins. How many fish will each penguin get?
