Addition Tuesday

Today we are going to add 3 numbers together.

Remember – you can add numbers in any order, the answer will always be the same.

When you are adding 3 numbers, look for easy numbers to add together first:

• numbers that add to 10, then add the last number

• look for doubles and near doubles to help you add

• start with the largest number and add on the smaller numbers

 

Warm Up:

Main Activity:

Try adding these 3 number sums in your jotter. Remember you can add the numbers in any order…just look for the easiest way for you.

Maths Topic Thursday – Symmetry

Today we will be learning all about symmetry – I remember we really liked learning about symmetry in class.  We made lots of symmetrical pictures using butterflies and scarecrows etc.

Can you remember what symmetrical means?

It means that both sides of something are the exact same – just like butterflies are.

Warm Up:

• Watch this video (and sing along) to remind you all about symmetry

Games to practise your symmetry skills:

• Click on these links to play different symmetry games: Symmetry Matching Game and Symmetry Sorting Game.

Main Activity:

• Go on a symmetry hunt. How many symmetrical things can you find in your house or outside?

• Try and use some different things you might have around the house, or outside, to make a symmetrical picture.

• Have a look at the pictures below for some ideas….you could use lego blocks, stones, leaves, or paint one half of a butterfly and fold it over.

Extra Challenge:

• Use one half of a photograph of yourself, or a cutting from a magazine or newspaper, and draw the other half to make the picture symmetrical. Look a the example below to help you!

Addition Tuesday

Today is our day to practise addition.

Warm Up

• Play Hit the Button to practise your number bonds to 10

Main Activity

Remember, when you are doing an adding sum, you can add the numbers in ANY order – even when you switch the numbers about, the answer is still the same e.g. 3 + 5 is the same as 5 + 3

In class, when we were adding numbers together, we found it was easier to swap the numbers around so we always started with the big number and then added on the small number

Have a go at the worksheets below. Look out for the different Primary 1 and Primary 2 worksheets.

Primary 1  –   write these in your jotter, please

Primary 2 Worksheet 

• Complete the worksheet below by writing the matching pairs in your jotter like this, please:

14 + 82 = 82 +14

• If you can, try and answer the sums too. You might need help from someone (or a calculator) to work out 3 of them! Good luck.

Extra Challenge

• If you have a dice at home, roll the dice twice then add the 2 numbers together. Switch the numbers round and write the sum the other way too!
