Good Morning Everyone,
I hope you are all doing o’k and managing to keep safe. Yesterday, Maya and Isla spotted “my deliberate mistakes” – the shape was missing from Q14 of the mental maths. I can’t seem to draw shapes on this blog so I’ll have to describe it to you…. it’s a quadrilateral, has 1 pair of parallel lines and 1 pair of equal sides.
In the Activities, Q7 was missing some numbers. It should’ve looked like this:
7) 891, 998 ___ 819, 998
Starter:
Q4. The perimeter is the length of the outline of a shape. To find the perimeter of a rectangle or square you have to add the lengths of all the four sides.
Activity: I can order large numbers
Write these numbers in order, from smallest to largest:
- 668 138 875 981 756 343 857 909
- 674 231 670 321 647 231 607 231
- 990 741 909 742 990 471 909 472
- 85 431 85 341 72 853 78 235
- 278 316 300 265 301 256 287 361
- 421 791 502 689 503 986 427 119
- 70 991 57 091 57 099 69 999
Which is the largest number? Which is the smallest number?
*Challenge*
Write the last 6 digits of your phone number or someone’s at home.
Make the largest number you can using these digits.
Make the smallest.
Make the number nearest to 100 000, 200 000, 300 000, …
1 000 000
Plenary:
Look at each pair of numbers:
3876 1378
1514 3120
3108 1380
5106 4798
Think of three numbers that are between each pair of numbers. Write them in your jotter.
Literacy
Today we are going to look at using some punctuation. Using colons, semi-colons and dashes can be tricky. Let us take a look at semi-colons first.
Watch this starter video below to remind ourselves when is appropriate to use each.
Semi-colon https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zvwwxnb/articles/zshfdxs
Activity:
We use semi colons to connect two RELATED but independent parts of a sentence together:
Mrs Pollock loves crisps; cheese and onion are her favourite.
Try writing some of these sentences (in your neatest handwriting).
I can place a semi-colon in the correct place.
Mark fell to his feet. He was exhausted.
Curtis fell into the nettles. The pain was terrible.
Fiona had been working all night the project was due in tomorrow
Sarah studied the creature it studied her in return
Challenge:
I can finish the sentence after the semi-colon.
- Gemma was furious;
- Sally enjoyed the football;
- Marcus was exhausted;
- Fred slammed the door;
Plenary:
I can explain the use of a semi-colon to someone else and give an example.
Be good, be kind and be happy!!
Mrs Pollock
