Good morning Primary 6,
How did you get on with yesterday’s maths challenge?
Mrs. McIntosh bought eye-liner for £4.20, hair conditioner for £5.55 and face cream for £3.79.
How much change did she get from three £5 notes and what coins could she have been paid in?
You find the answer by adding all of the costs together £4.20+£5.55+£3.79 to make £13.54
Then subtracting that from 3x£5 = £15
£15 – £13.54 = £1.46
So Mrs. McIntosh gets £1.46 in change.
There are a few different ways to make this in coins but the one which uses the least number of coins is
£1, 20p, 20p, 5p and 1p
Here’s Cressida Cowell reading Chapters 5 and 6 of “How to Train your Dragon”
Old Wrinkly says that the times call for a new kind of hero and he implies that Hiccup could be that hero. Compare and contrast the two ways of being a hero that Old Wrinkly talks about. The old way followed by characters like Snotlout and Professor Yobbish and the new way that Hiccup could show them.
Keep practising your key spelling words and try to add other words in the same family.
For example – lightning, light, lighten, lighting
I added some new learning pods on Studyladder you should have a look at. Remember you can switch from one pod to another and go back when you want to.
Here’s a maths starter for today.
I started adding work to Studyladder at twenty to four and finished at twenty past five.
How long did I spend on Studyladder in minutes?
How long did I spend on Studyladder in hours? (This is trickier)
Mr. Mcintosh
