Good Morning Primary 6, are you ready for another week of activities?

If we were at school, we would only be in for 4 days this week, because on Friday it’s a Bank Holiday and it’s also the 75th Anniversary of VE Day.

In maths, this week, we are going to revise co-ordinates.   As you don’t have squared paper I’ve included activities were you’ll be reading coordinates and playing games to plot them rather than drawing them.

But first, let’s start with some mental maths.

Mental Starter:

Please completer Q1-Q16 in your jotter.

Remember: product mean multiply and quotient means divide,

Activities: I can give the coordinates of points on a map.

Watch this clip from BBC Bitesize to remind us about co-ordinates.

*Challenge*

From which places on the map is the first coordinate more than the second coordinate?

Plenary:

I’ve loaded onto Sumdog some skills practice focusing on coordinates. You have until Wednesday night to complete them.

LITERACY

Starter:

Verbally, written or in your head, brainstorm anything you already know about VE day, or what you think it could be about.

Activity: I can summarise my thinking.
