Good morning everybody.
Maths No Problem
1st the answers from Thurs 14th Chp 9 Lesson 9
Today we start a new unit. Mass Volume & Length
Today’s lesson: Chapter 10 Lesson 1
Lesson Objective: To be able to estimate mass to the nearest kilogram.
Textbook pages: 88 – 89 Workbook pages 65 – 66
Lesson Notes: To begin this lesson, show pupils the In Focus task and ask them to think about how they can write the mass of the watermelon in kilograms only. Display the bar model from Let’s Learn. What can we say about 100 g in relation to 1 kg? How many 100 g are there in 1 kg? How can we express 100 g as a decimal? What about 200 g? If we know the watermelon weighs 1 kg 200 g, how can we write the mass in kilograms (as a decimal)?
Ask pupils to think about what they have already learnt about estimating. The watermelon weighs 1.2 kg. Can we use a number line to show where 1.2 kg is? Allow pupils some time to do this. Then model drawing a number line and ask which two amounts, in kilograms, 1.2 kg lies between. What does each increment stand for? Where should we mark 1.2 kg? Is 1.2 kg nearer to 1 kg or 2 kg? So we can say that 1.2 kg is about 1 kg and use the approximate sign to show this. Explain to pupils that estimating any measurement is the same as estimating whole numbers and decimals.
During Guided Practice, pupils are estimating masses to the nearest kilogram.
