Good morning everyone, I hope you all had a lovely weekend and enjoyed the nice weather. Did you spot any nice developments in the nature around you?
This week we will have some maths starters.
Daily Challenge
Number Talks – How would you solve this problem? 15 x 4? Can you draw and explain your method? How about 16×4, 15×40, 150×4? Choose one and show your strategies.
Numeracy – Fractions
Continuing with fractions. We have looked fractions of shapes and now we will compare fractions to see if they are equal. For example 1/2 is the same as 2/4. Remember the denominator is at the bottom, it explains how many parts the whole has been split into. The numerator is at the top and explains how many parts of the shape we are talking about. Take a look at this video of a fractions wall.

What do you notice? The denominator gets bigger as the shape gets smaller.
This is a black and white fractions wall for you to print and colour or copy. Drawing your own fractions wall will give you good practice of using a ruler and also making sure the shapes are EQUAL sizes. BW fractions wall
Equivalent Fractions PowerPoint
Don’t forget the Sumdog Competition
Literacy – Spelling
New words for you. Read through and make sure you know what they all mean.
Then there are tasks for practice. Don’t worry if you can’t print, just do it on some paper. (neatly labelled and presented)
