Wednesday 15th April – Numeracy Tasks

Here is today’s Board Number, please complete in the maths jotter that is in your home learning pack.  Remember you do not have to do the extra, this is simply an extra challenge.

Once you have finished, please use a calculator to correct or ask someone at home to correct your work.  Remember, you can also use the inverse operation to correct your work too. For example 28472 x 6, once you have the answer, to use the inverse operation to correct, simply carry out a division calculation using your answer divided by 6 (the answer to this division calculation should be 28472).

Happy Easter Primary 7! I hope you have all had a relaxing, safe and lovely Easter holiday.  Today marks the beginning of Term 4 and although it is very different for us not being in school, I know you will all continue to do your best whilst working at home.

I will continue to post learning tasks on the blog, please continue to establish a routine at home that works best for you and your family.  There is no pressure to complete everything that is posted, it is important you work at a pace that feels right for you and if you wish you can follow the timetable included in the Home Learning Packs.   Numeracy and Literacy posts will be available in the mornings as that is when we would normally do these things in school.

Please remember you can email me with any queries and you can also comment on the the blog posts.

Take care and stay safe, Mrs Paton.
