In Maths we have looked at rounding and estimating.

This is the amount of goals that a footballer scores in one season.

• Round these scores to the nearest 10 goals:

 

Footballer	Goals scored	Rounded to the nearest 10
Wayne Rooney	77
Frank Lampard	69
Emmanuel Adebayor	54
Leon Best	43
Andrew Johnson	35
Daniel Sturridge	22

 

This is the amount of skips P5 achieved in one minute during the sponsored skip.

 

• Round these scores to the nearest 100:

 

Name	Skips	Rounded to the nearest 100
Kayleigh	482
Hannah	411
Aimee	328
Maisey	249
Rose	117
Laura	50

 

Now try this:

Roll the three dice and make a three digit number

For example: 636.

Round the number to the nearest 100 and repeat.

 

Write down the ages of everyone in your family, then estimate their total age to the nearest 10.

Halloween’s Coming….

• Interview family and friends. Find out what types of things they did when they were children for Halloween.  Can they remember any songs, rhymes or poems they were taught?
• Use the internet, to research Halloween. Think about – Why do we celebrate Halloween? Halloween Customs and Traditions, Halloween Superstitions and Fascinating Facts About Halloween.  You could present your research as a power point or in your homework jotter.
• Will you be guising at Halloween or perhaps going to a Halloween disco? Prepare your costume and make sure you can tell a joke, do a dance, sing a song or recite a poem.
