Writing
We’ve completed reading comprehension and creative writing tasks so far this week. Today our focus will be on individual words. Do you know the meaning of the words below? Write down the definitions and then check using a dictionary. If you got a definition wrong, write out the correct definition.
Complete the crossword below using the words you have just defined. If you write your answers directly into your book, you’ll need to make sure you line up the words correctly in order to find the ‘hidden word’!
Arithmetic
Click on the link below and have a go at subtracting 3 digit numbers from 4 digit numbers. How quickly can you complete all the questions? How many did you answer correctly?
Top tip: Before you start, some of the questions are similar to this: 7779 – 390=? It’s easy to answer this kind of question incorrectly and end up with the wrong digit in the hundreds column. So…
try adding 10 to both numbers to create a multiple of ten or one hundred… 7789 – 400 = 7389.
The answer is the same because the difference between both numbers remains the same (we added the same amount to both).
When you’ve had a go at subtracting 3 digit numbers from 4 digit numbers choose two more activities from the link and have a go at them too.
I know you’ll remember the log in details for espresso by now!
Maths No Problem
Answers to yesterday’s task:
Today’s task:
Chapter 14 Lesson 9 Don’t open your textbook yet. Have a go at drawing the graph in the In Focus task first.
Can you use the graph you have drawn to answer the question below?
How far could Ravi walk in one hour if he didn’t speed up or slow down?
Now open your textbook to page 246 and read through the Let’s learn section carefully. Did you draw the correct type of graph?
Answer the questions about the graph in the Guided Practice section on page 248. Top tip: Make sure you count how many squares there are for every 50km on the Y axis and how many squares represent each hour on the X axis before answering the questions.
Make up at least two questions of your own about the graph on page 248.
Finally, complete workbook pages 169/170
Remember to count up how many squares there are between each number on each axis. If there were five squares between 1km and 2km then each square would represent 1/5 of a km. If there were only 4 squares then each square would represent 1/4 of a km.
