We thought a nice way to end the week would be to have a Microsoft Teams chat. Some of the things we will be looking to discuss with you are:
If you can’t get on contact me through Glow.
*Walliams Group – Chapter 1 only
Have a go at these product (multiplication) grids below (Also on Seesaw)
L.I – Multiply 2 Digits by 2-3digits
Watch the teaching video for formal methods of multiplication.
Video explanation
Calculate the answers to the following using formal methods:
a) IN x TO B) ON x AN C) NO x ICE D) TIE x BE E) BIN x ON
Create your own Digit Code multiplication sums using formal or grid method.
For the month of May you are going to do your own research project about Paisley as part of Local Community History month. (See the original lesson from Monday 4th May)
See below the first 3 tasks it asks you to do as part of your project.
For each of these, why not use ‘Google Maps’ or ‘Google Earth’ to help with this. You could include screenshots for your presentation.

Today we are going to begin our new class novel ‘Holes’ by Louis Sachar. I want you to read the first 3 chapters and answer the following questions.
L.I – We are learning to use formal methods to lay out multiplication sums involving 2 digits x 2 digits and 3 digits x 2 digits.
Maths Starter –
Try the following sums using the grid method (Link to video for revision)
a) 34 x 21 b) 65 x43 c) 145 x 16 d) 278 x 34
Today we are going to be learning about using the formal method for multiplying numbers by 2 digits. Some of your parents may remember this at school as long multiplication.
Watch the video link below up to 3:27m.
a) 32×17 b) 52×23 c) 37x 25 d) 82×36
Check your answers for each one using the grid method.
Choose one of the following activities
After gathering in the results from the class vote, the most popular book and chosen book for our class novel this term is ‘Holes’ by Louis Sachar.
Have a look at the front cover. (Complete on Seesaw)
Now read the blurb:
We are not going to start the book as a class until Monday 11th May. You may wish to read the book over the long weekend. Below is the link to Amazon’s audible book list which gives you free access for 30 days to audio books.

A selection of ties with the Paisley Pattern
Local History –
Thread making was Paisley’s main industry back in the 19th Century. Under the leadership of Thomas Coats (1809-1893), Paisley became the world centre for thread making. The pattern known as ‘Paisley’ was produced on shawls and sent across the world. Despite being of a Kashmiri design and manufactured in other parts of Europe, the teardrop-like pattern soon became known as the Paisley Pattern.
The Paisley pattern remains an important symbol of Paisley and is in the logo of Renfrewshire Council.
Main Lesson – We are going to create our own Paisley Pattern. Click on the link below and follow the step by step guide.
Today we are going to revise how to simplify fractions. Simplest form means the smallest possible denominator. The concept of simplifying fractions has strong links to multiplication tables – knowledge of multiples and factors is very important.
One way to work out the simplest form of
a fraction is to write out the factors of the numerator and denominator and identify the highest common factor (HCF), e.g.
_8__ 1,2,4,8
12 1,2,3,4,6,12
The Highest Common Factor is 4, so both the numerator and denominator can be divided by 4 to give _8_ in its simplest form, i.e. _2/3.
