Good morning everyone.

Chapter 8 Decimals: Lesson 6 Writing Hundredths
You will see from the lesson notes that Number Discs are used as a concrete way of helping children understand the ideas. At school, we would give children this resource. I have attached 2 files (colour and b/w) that, if you have a printer, you could print of to help. Alternatively, if you don’t have access to a printer you could use counters, buttons, beads etc to represent each value.

Lesson Notes: To begin this lesson, show pupils the In Focus task and ask them if they know what number is shown by the number discs. What is the number shown on each disc? (0.01, 1 hundredth, 1⁄100) How many are there? We have to start by counting how many hundredths there are. Let pupils count them to establish there are 15 hundredths.
Ask pupils what we should do when there are more than 10 hundredths. We regroup 10 hundredths into 1 tenth. Ask them to show the regrouping of 10 hundredths into 1 tenth using manipulatives or moveable discs on a place-value chart. Then ask pupils to think about how to write the decimal. Write on the board:
15 hundredths = 10 hundredths + 5 hundredths. Ask them after we regroup, what happens to 10 hundredths. It becomes 1 tenth. Continue the equation: 15 hundredths = 1 tenth + 5 hundredths.
Ask pupils to write 1 tenth and 5 hundredths as decimals and add them: 0.1 + 0.05 = 0.15. The number that the 15 discs show is 0.15. Repeat the process for Let’s Learn 2.
During Guided Practice, pupils are using number discs to help them write numbers as decimals.

7 times table;

2nd make the 7 times table resource like you did for yesterday’s 8x table. If you don’t want to play snap, you could play the pairs games with your new resource …. place all the 24 cards face down, turn 2 over at a time to see if they are a matching pair.
Reading/Writing Task
The story of Macbeth was a tragedy. I have found a video of the classic Greek myth of Icarus that has a tragic ending. But instead of words, the story is told through pictures and interpretive dance.
Watch the video and write a paragraph to summarise the story.
