Hello Primary 7 🙂 Here are the numeracy tasks for the week, as I said in the previous post you do not need to complete all tasks, simply choose the tasks that are of interest to you and remember you can also look through all of the previous posts and complete some tasks you haven’t already done or use some of the websites that have already been posted.

NUMERACY TASKS

1.  IKEA BUDGETING TASK –

I would like some help designing the layout of my guest bedroom! You have £3000.00 to spend in IKEA.  Use your knowledge of adding and subtracting decimal numbers and percentages to design the room, you need to buy everything from bedding to furniture.  There are also some discounts that can be used on certain items.

Sketch out your ideas of what you would like the room to look like, think of how the furniture would be arranged. Look at the IKEA website for ideas and you will need to write down all of the items and prices.  Here is an example of the layout  you can use (if you have a printer you could print these off but this is not essential- use a jotter or bit of paper). Have fun designing! You can email me your ideas or post a picture to your blog.

Question Generator

Then select a topic from the dropdown box – for example Arithmetic: Four Operations then choose the level of difficulty (0 being the easiest and 10 being the hardest).  Then select the time limit – start with 10-15 minutes and then click on Create Questions.

4. COUNTDOWN  – Can you reach the target number? The challenge is to use the numbers available and the four standard operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division) to hit the target.  Each number can only be used once but it may not be necessary to use all the numbers.    https://nrich.maths.org/6499

5. MATHS CALENDARS  –Please use these Maths Calendars for some revision and further challenge. You do not have to complete all of them this week! I have pasted the link below to three levels, 1st, 2nd and 3rd.

1st Level will be revision and if you have a younger sibling at home you could even teach them how to do it – remember teaching others helps us to recall 90% of what we learn!

The 2nd level is what we will have been doing in class and the 3rd level you will have done bits of, so don’t worry if you are not sure of all of the 3rd level questions.

1st Level: https://glowscotland-my.sharepoint.com/:b:/g/personal/ddspaton810_glow_sch_uk/ESgqz5d2IMxPlItezgbO2cIBBrrMDCaD8_CRA3mXVk27JQ?e=E3AAiW

Good Morning Primary 7! I hope you all had a lovely weekend and are ready for another week of home learning, do what you can and keep up the good work! Please remember you are not under any pressure to complete everything on the blog, some days you may do more and some days you may do less, it is what works best for you and your family.

There is a change to the Home Learning this week, I am working in the Hub all week therefore will not post daily numeracy and literacy activities, instead I have put together a selection of numeracy and literacy activities you can do.  You can select any tasks that are of interest to you, the tasks can be completed at any time that works for you, please remember there is no pressure to complete everything!  Also, if we were in school this week, Friday 8th May would have been a holiday for us – why don’t you take the day off from school work 🙂

When you get the chance can you please check your email, I sent out an email to our P7 group and have asked if you can send me a picture of yourselves from P1 🙂

Have a lovely week, do what you can and stay safe. Please continue to email me with any queries/questions you have, I may not be able to reply for a few hours but I will reply later in the day.
