Good morning everyone.
Maths No Problem
Chapter 8 Decimals: Lesson 7 Writing Hundredths
Textbook pages 20-25 Workbook pages 14 15
Lesson Notes: To begin this lesson, show pupils the In Focus task and ask them if they can apply what they have learnt previously to solve the problem. We know that Ruby uses 124 discs of 0.01 to show a number. What is the number she is trying to show?
124 discs of 0.01 can be read or written as 124 hundredths. Can we write this number as a fraction? 124 hundredths = 124⁄100. Can we write it as a decimal? Allow pupils to think and discuss in pairs. Provide them with place-value charts and number discs to work out the regrouping to find the number 1.24.
Can we use fewer discs to show the same number? How many different combinations of discs can we come up with? Record pupils’ responses and work through the three possibilities as shown in Let’s Learn.
Ask pupils if they know the place value of the digits in 1.24. What is the place value of the digit 1? What is the place value of the digit 2? What is the place value of the digit 4? Show them the number line in Let’s Learn 2. Guide them by asking questions such as: Where should we place 1.24? Is it more or less than 1? By how much? What are the increments that have been marked on the scale? What are their values? Count on together with pupils, starting from 1, 1.1, 1.2, 1.21, 1.22, 1.23, 1.24. It may be necessary to repeat the same process for another number (e.g. 129 hundredths) to ensure pupils’ understanding, either as a class or small group.
Arithmetic
Write these additions out in column addition and then solve
344 + 525 = 572 + 227 = 4,345 + 3,232 = 3,212 + 4,357 =
757 + 248 = 693 + 241 = 6,742 + 2,533 = 674 + 568 =

When you have watched the video, look at the Where’s Wally picture and create some expanded noun phrases for the different people in the picture. If you can’t enlarge this picture, then either find a Where’s Wally picture on Google Images or if you have a Where’s Wally book, use a picture from there.
eg Can you find the tall, strong, smiling man with a blue hat and an axe?
Don’t forget that you could add in a prepositional phrase to show where the character is.
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.
