Good morning everybody.
Maths No Problem
1st the answers from Thurs 21st Chp 10 Lesson 5
Today’s lesson: Chapter 10 Lesson 6
Lesson Objective: To be able to convert different units of measure for volume.
Textbook pages: 103 – 106 Workbook pages 75 – 76
Lesson Notes: To begin this lesson, show pupils the In Focus task. Ask them to discuss the problem with their partners before taking some feedback.
There are three conversions illustrated in Let’s Learn using approximation: converting 1000 ml to litres, 100 ml to litres and 500 ml to litres. Draw a number line as shown in Let’s Learn 1 and ask pupils to place 1136 ml on the number line. Is 1136 ml nearer to 1000 ml or 2000 ml? What is another way of writing 1000 ml? When we approximate to the nearest litre, we can say 1136 ml is about 1 l. Write it down using the approximate sign.
We can also approximate volume to the nearest 100 ml. Work through Let’s Learn 2 using the bar model. Why is each part labelled as 0.1? How many millilitres is 0.1 l equivalent to? Let’s use another number line to show what the approximate value is for 1136 ml when we approximate it to the nearest 100 ml. Draw the number line as shown in Lets Learn 2. Ask pupils to place 1136 ml on the number line. Is it closer to 1100 ml or 1200 ml? How do we write 100 ml as a decimal? How do we write 1100 ml as a decimal? 1100 ml = 1.1 l. When we approximate to the nearest 100 ml, we can say 1136 ml is about 1.1 l. Write it down using the approximate sign. Repeat the same process for Let’s Learn 3.
During Guided Practice, pupils are converting volume from litres to millilitres and comparing the volume of two bottles.
Mental Maths / Arithmetic
1st answers to yesterday’s mental maths questions:
6426 – 1000 = 5426 7538 – 4000 = 3538 5628 – 2000 = 3628
6894 – 4000 = 2894 6479 – 3000 = 3479 8339 – 5000 = 3339
12,478 – 9000 = 3478 34,589 – 20,000 = 14,589
Today, I would like you to make sure you go on TT Rockstars

Spellings
This week’s spelling are: though, although, thought, through
Reading
Please don’t forget to read today. ‘The more you read, the more you know. The more you know, the more places you will go.’ You should be able to access the book quizzes and don’t forget to go on Lexia (if you have a log in) for 15 minutes each day. Well done everyone.
