Good morning Primary 6,<\/p>\n
Look at that, it’s Thursday already. If days keeps flying past like this it will be Friday tomorrow before you know it.<\/p>\n
How did you get on with yesterday’s maths questions?<\/p>\n
Here are the answers<\/p>\n
a) Joe – \u00a318.66\u00a0 \u00a0,\u00a0 Jan – \u00a320.12\u00a0 \u00a0, Dawn – \u00a320.29\u00a0 \u00a0,\u00a0 Dave – \u00a317.84<\/span><\/p>\n b) Dawn<\/p>\n c) Dave<\/p>\n d) \u00a30.17<\/p>\n e) \u00a312.71<\/p>\n This week we are going to work on some problems that involve addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Calculate the answers to these questions in your jotter.<\/p>\n a) I bought a calculator, a pen and a pencil case from the internet and the bill came to \u00a317.12. I remember that the calculator was \u00a36.75 and the pen was \u00a32.99. How much was the pencil case?<\/p>\n b) The bill for 4 of us at The Burger Pit, including drinks, came to \u00a319.12. I paid for the drinks, \u00a33.56, and the rest of the bill was split evenly between the four of us. How much did each of my friends pay for their food only and how much did it cost me for my meal and all the drinks?<\/p>\n c) I bought a matching pair of candlesticks that I didn’t need at 2 in the morning on Ebay for \u00a314.92. My wife hated them. I sold one of them for \u00a37.99 on Gumtree and the second one for \u00a32.55, because it was rusty. How much did I lose on the deal?<\/p>\n d) Two chicken suppers and a sausage supper cost me \u00a311.98. If the sausage supper is \u00a32.40, what is the price of a chicken supper.<\/p>\n e) Gordon borrowed money from me. He paid me back eventually. He paid me \u00a32.55 on the first week and followed this with 9 payments of \u00a31.45. How much did Gordon borrow from me?<\/p>\n Remember, decimals make no difference to how you add, subtract, multiply or divide you only have to remember to keep the decimal points above one another, in a straight line.<\/p>\n This is\u00a0not<\/span>\u00a0how we would write out sums to find the answer so don\u2019t write them this way in your jotter. 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 This week for spelling we’re looking at a spelling rule. The rule is, “Silent E for V and U”<\/p>\n To avoid words ending in a ‘v’ or a ‘u’ a silent ‘e’ is often added.<\/p>\n Here are a list of words which follow this rule.<\/p>\n give, love, have, live, carve, blue, due. true, glue, clue, twelve, forgive<\/p>\n Today try to LOOK, COVER, WRITE and CHECK your spelling words ahead of tomorrow’s test.<\/p>\n Here are the answers to yesterday’s comprehension exercises<\/p>\n Caviar Answers<\/a><\/p>\n Tin Answers<\/a><\/p>\n Stinky Answers<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n I\u2019ve assigned you some reading in Scholastic Books.<\/p>\n Here are three new comprehension exercises for today. You can choose to do as many of them as you wish.<\/p>\n I’ll post the answers tomorrow.<\/span><\/p>\n Sedna comprehension<\/a><\/p>\n Value<\/p>\n<\/td>\n (a)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Pretty Good<\/p>\n (b)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Ok<\/p>\n (c)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I need to practise more<\/td>\n My evidence for my rating<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Telling the truth<\/p>\n Not stealing<\/p>\n Owning up<\/td>\n Sharing<\/p>\n Taking turns<\/p>\n Playing by the rules<\/p>\n Returning a favour<\/td>\n Being on time<\/p>\n Keeping promises<\/p>\n Being reliable<\/p>\n Doing what I say I will<\/td>\n Helping when it is needed<\/p>\n Encouraging others<\/p>\n Caring about others<\/td>\n Working well with someone<\/p>\n Sorting things out<\/p>\n Doing my share<\/td>\n Using good manners<\/p>\n Asking permission before using other people\u2019s things<\/td>\n Remember you can still choose another task from your updated learning grid and there are other tasks on Sumdog, StudyLadder, FirstNews and Scholastic Books.<\/p>\n You can email me any of your work at:<\/p>\n gw09mcintoshdavid3@glow.sch.uk<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Mr. McIntosh<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Good morning Primary 6, Look at that, it’s Thursday already.
