Maths Homework - To be uplodaed to Dojo by 26.04.24
As part of our new topic we have been working to deepen our understanding on fractions. This week we have covered adding and subtracting fractions as well as finding fractions of certain amounts. We would like children to consolidate this learning at home through this weeks homework. Children can choose their challenge from the activity below.
Using their times tables skills will be so importnat when finding fractions of amounts. The denominator will be the times tables that they will need to focus on counting in. eg: 1/5 of 20, they would count in 5s until they get to 20 (5, 10, 15, 20) 4 times so 1/5 of 20 is 4.
Easter Holiday Homework
Over the Easter Holidays, please can the children continue to practice TT Rockstars to build on the fluency of their times table knowledge and recall.
If the children would like to get on our school leaderboard, they have to play 'studio' we have talked about it and the children are really keen to get competitive with Year 4! Playing 'Gig' mode will enable them to develop their heat map and it then targets specific questions for them to focus on.
Have a lovely Easter!
Maths Homework- 22.03.24- to be uploaded to dojo by 29.03.24
This week the children have been looking at measuring liquid in millilitres and litres. They have been looking at different scales on containers and working out the increments in which the scales go up in to measure accurately. There are some challenged activities below to re-enforce this concept.
Maths Homework 15.03.24- to be uploaded to dojo by 22.03.24
This week, we have been looking at measuring mass- with a particular focus on grams and kilograms. Below are some activities to complete on equivalent masses. We have talked about the word equivalent coming from the word equal which means the same. The children should be familiar with the concept of 1000g = 1kg and using simple fractions like half and quarter related to 1kg. If the children would like an extra challenge, there is an extension activity attached to complete.
Maths Homework- 08.03.24 to be completed by 15.03.24
This week, we have completed our work on Fractions and have started looking at our new topic of mass and capacity. We have completed a baseline of the children's current recall of their times tables to see where their gaps are and how we can support with recalling them at speed.
I have re-introduced TT Rockstars to the children this week, I know some of them have been logging in, but we would like to do a bigger push on more frequent use of the programme. Therefore, for their homework for maths this week, can they please log into TT Rockstars (their log in is in their reading record books) and have a go at some of the games that are available. I have attached the parent's guide for your reference to gain a better understanding of each of the features.
Maths Homework 01.03.24- to be uploaded to dojo by 08.03.24
This week we have been looking at fractions on a number line and counting fractions on a number line. Below are some activities to practise and consolidate this concept. There are answer pages at the end of each document for the children to self mark.
Maths Homework - due by 01.03.24
Currently in Maths we are focussing on fractions. We have already studied non-unit fractions (a fraction with 1 as the numerator) and started to compare fractions. Our mantra this week has been 'the bigger the denominator, the smaller the fraction'. For this week's homework task we would like children to compare fractions. Please refer to the worksheets attached.
