Warm-up Task: Doubles🔵

Practise your skills of doubling and make links with the two times table and repeated addition:

https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/hit-the-button

Main Activity – Multiplying by 10 and 100🔵

• I can say that when I multiply by 10 the digits move one place to the left
• I can say that when I multiply by 100 the digits move two places to the left
•  I can demonstrate using my rule accurately

Read the posters to remind you of how to multiply by 10 and 100.

Read each question carefully. Think about what it is asking you to do. When you multiply by 10 you will add a 0 to your answer as the digits move one place to the left. When you multiply by 100 you will add 00 to your answer as the digits move two place to the left. For example:

1. 45 x 10 = 450m

Remember to record m as you are recording the measurement in metres.

6.  104 x 10 = 1,040m

11. 47 x 100 = 4,700

14.  7 x 100 = 700

18.  49 x 10 = 490

Mrs Maher🍎

Good morning Primary 4,

Yesterday I went into school to finish tidying our classroom. I was surprised by how much stuff I have! The classroom is empty and my house is now very full. 😂

I hope you all managed to stay positive yesterday. What kinds of things did you do to stay positive? I listened to music, went out a walk with Stephen on his scooter, spoke with friends and smiled as much as possible. 😃

Maths: Subtraction ✏️ 

Warm up task:  Doubles

Practise your skill of doubling on Hit the Button:

https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/hit-the-button

Try out different levels on the Number range or try Multiples of 10/ 5/ 50.

Main Activity – Subtracting 3-digit numbers by 3-digit number✏️ 

• I can count back accurately
• I can demonstrate how to exchange

Read each sum carefully. Record each sum in your jotter, taking care to stack your digits neatly underneath each other. This will help you to clearly see your HTU columns. 😃

Remember when you are subtracting two digits and you ‘don’t have enough’ or ‘can’t do it’ you then need to exchange. We practised this by going to the left column, subtracting 1 (1 set of ten) and then exchanging this over to the column that needs it and marking a 1 beside that digit. Then you have enough to do the subtraction. 👍🏼

Watch the videos if you would like a reminder of how to exchange:  (We call the Ones column, the Units)

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zy2mn39/articles/zc78srd

If you can manage this mentally then that is brilliant. You can also use your fingers or number line to help you.

Main Actvity – Free Writing – Narrative ✏️ 

This week is FREE WRITING where you can write a story of your choice. If you are struggling to think of an idea, I have given you some ideas below. You are free to write as much as you like – it can be as short as a few sentences for Beginning, Middle and End or three detailed paragraphs for BME. The choice is yours! 😃

The first thing to do is spend time planning your story. You could use either a story planning sheet or a story mountain to help you plan what happens.

You can use these posters to give you some help:

Here is an example of what a good one looks like:

You could perhaps write about:

• Magical Powers – Suppose you had the power of magic. You could do anything you wanted to do. You could make all of your wishes come true. What would your first three wishes be? How would you make them come true? What would happen? Write your BME.
• If I was – If you were not you, who would you like to be? Somebody you know? A super hero? A special kind of person? I would be __________. Think of what would happen. Write your BME.
• Space Adventure – In the box is a very special spacesuit just for you. Open the box carefully. Put on the spacesuit. Climb into your spaceship and – off you go! Write your BME.
• Ben’s Adventure – This is Ben the dog. He’s got nothing to do and no one to play with. Don’t let him get bored! Make up a friend for him and send them off on an adventure. Write your BME.
• Help! – Imagine one day you go to school and just as you go in, everything shrinks. Except you! Suddenly everything is tiny and you’re a great big giant. What do you do? Write your BME.
• Pirate Pete – This is Pirate Pete. He is sailing on a gigantic ship across the seas. Pirate Pete is looking for an island with a cave. He wants to hid some treasure in the cave. What happens? Write your BME.
• The Dreaded Dragon – The dreaded dragon has come to town. The people are frightened and run away. The hide in their houses. But along comes someone who saves them. Who? Wrote your BME.

Success Criteria: (My Story has)

• an interesting Title
• Described the setting and atmosphere using descriptive language (adjectives/ adverbs/ wow words)

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

✏️ Remember to include the characters thoughts and feelings and read over your writing as you go.

🌟If you would like a challenge, your Middle paragraph could have a new event where there is a twist or turning point in the story.

🔍 Check your punctuation and that you have not missed any words out.

👍🏼 When you are finished, read over to check your writing makes sense.

🌟Who are the Star Writer’s going to be this week?🌟

Why not time yourself, how many times can you read and write numbers in 1/ 3/ 5 or 10 minutes? ⏰

Main Activity: Adding several numbers 🔢

• I can group helpful numbers
• I can count on accurately

Read each question carefully. Think about what it is asking you to do and look for your number clues.  Record your number sentence in your jotter. Remember to record £ because you are finding the cost in pounds. For example:

1.a.  £3 + £12 + £7 = £22

You can group the helpful numbers together first, starting with the largest £12 + £7 = £19 then add £3 = £22

2.a.  15 + 6 + 15 + 1 = 37

(double 15 is 30 then add on 6 = 36 and add 1 = 37)

3.a.  17 + ? + 3 = 32

(use your number clues – 17 + 3 = 20 then count on to 32 to find the missing answer = 12)

When you have two  or more missing numbers, you can subtract your number clue from the answer then split that number between the two symbols.

You can use your 100-square to help you count on. 👍🏼
