L.I – Use a grid to work out multiplication calculations.

Send work on Seesaw (Draw Template) or from your jotters. 

1. Use the grid method for the following calculations;

a) 34 x 6          b) 73 x 8        c) 329 x 3         d) 543 x 6

Check your answers by completing a formal sum. (Upstairs, down stairs sum)

2. Watch the video for using the grid method. This time you can watch the full video to see how the grid method progresses to multiplying 2-digit by 3 digit sums.

Example Question

Outdoor Literacy

Choose one of the following tasks for Outdoor Literacy;

Rope Trail Instructional Writing – Write set of instructions to move from point a) to point b) outside. Create your own trail, using both high / low areas, under / over tarpaulin, between trees/bushes etc.,

Use imperative verbs for your instructions. Once you have done this, blindfold a family member and ask them to follow your instructions. Would you change any instructions? Why not swap over and have your family member read out your instructions whilst you are blindfolded.

Picture frame – Collect 8 similar length twigs/branches and a range of natural materials. Whilst one person is blindfolded, the other gives instructions for them to make a picture frame on the floor with the sticks, and to create a picture or pattern using the natural items. The location of each item needs to be described so that the blindfolded person can place it without assistance. After 5 minutes, swap roles.

L.I – Explore the importance of fluency and expression when we read.

Starter Activity – Answer each of the Survey Monkey Questions.

Main Lesson

We are going to start off this morning revising our grid method multiplication strategy. You are going to learn a way of writing calculations for multiplying 2-digit numbers by 1-digit numbers.This method is called the grid method.

1. Watch the teaching video below (up to 2:11):

2. Roll the dice

Roll a dice to give the different numbers in a multiplication calculation. Children complete the calculation using either the written method or mental strategies depending on the numbers.

If you don’t have a dice, use the link below.

Create Your Own Timetable

One of the first things you will get when you go to secondary school is a timetable. The timetable you get will explain what subject, classroom and teacher you will have throughout the day at different time slots called ‘periods’.

For this morning I want you to create your own weekly timetable for home learning that you will try to stick with. Remember your plan must fit with you. If you are never up at 9:00am then don’t bother planning to do your first lesson at this point.

Each time table must have:

• 3x 1hour lesson periods (usually 1 maths, 1 literacy and 1 other)
• 1 hour of planned exercise (This could be playing outside)
• 1 daily household task planned per day (tidy your bedroom, do the hoovering, wash the dishes etc)
• Plan time for someone special each day. This could be a phone call, an email, writing a letter to post, FaceTime video call etc. It is important to keep in touch with people and let them know you care about them.
• Plan slots for lunch and breaks etc
• Don’t forget to plan in when you will be having free time. This could include many things catching up on TV programmes, watching Netflix, playing the X-Box etc.

Weekly Timetable Challenge example

Have a look at the example above.

I have attached a template for you to add to with text boxes, however you might wish to create/draw your own template on paper. If so, take a picture of it and send it to me. (Also available on Seesaw)
