Today I would like you to try these calculations involving money. Remember money is just a decimal number so there is no special or different thing that you need to do. You just calculate the answers like you would any other decimal calculation.<\/p>\n
a) \u00a34.62+\u00a33.07\u00a0 b)\u00a0\u00a334.54+\u00a326.67\u00a0 c)\u00a0\u00a342.51+\u00a35.22\u00a0 d)\u00a0\u00a37.26+\u00a38.55<\/p>\n

Use place value, carrying and decomposition (borrowing) to find your answers.<\/p>\n I’ll post the answers to these tomorrow or you can send me your answers at:<\/p>\n gw09mcintoshdavid3@glow.sch.uk<\/p>\n Your spelling words for this week are:<\/p>\n process, resources, soldier, technique, weight, proposition, Saturday, stationary, texture, women<\/p>\n Today I would like you to start using this week’s spelling words to play IRL Bingo.<\/p>\n Write all of your spelling words out on a scrap of paper.<\/p>\n Each time you use one today in conversation tick it off.<\/p>\n When you have used all of the words yell, “Bingo!”<\/p>\n Did I mention that you also had to spell the words in conversation?<\/p>\n Example<\/p>\n “Dad, making the dinner must be a difficult process. P-R-O-C-E-S-S”<\/p>\n If you really want to play Hardcore IRL Bingo don’t tell anyone what you are doing or why you are doing it.<\/p>\n After 19 chapters we are now finished, “How to Train your Dragon.”<\/p>\n Here are the answers to yesterday’s comprehension exercises.<\/p>\n Virtual Answers<\/a><\/p>\n Deep Space Answers<\/a><\/p>\n Blue Light Answers<\/a><\/p>\n I’ve assigned you some reading in Scholastic Books.<\/p>\n Here are three new comprehension exercises for today.
