Maths No Problem
1st Answer pages for Tuesday’s Lesson 16
Today’s lesson: Chapter 8 Decimals … Lesson 17 – Dividing whole numbers by 100
Lesson Objective: To be able to divide 1- or 2-digit numbers by 100.
Textbook pages: 54 – 56 Workbook pages 33 – 35
Lesson Notes: To begin this lesson, show pupils the In Focus task. How can Charles share the soap equally to make 100 equal packs? Ask pupils to discuss this in pairs and then invite them to share their solutions. Help them to apply what they have learnt from dividing a whole number by 10 to dividing a whole number by 100.
Work through Let’s Learn to model sharing the blocks of soap to make 100 packs. Guide pupils to see that the digits remain the same but the place value of the digits change. Lead them to see that when 10 is divided by 100, it becomes a tenth, 0.1. When 4 is divided by 100, it becomes 4 hundredths, 0.04. Use the place-value chart to illustrate this. Then give pupils a few 1-digit and 2-digit numbers and ask them to divide them by 100 using the place-value chart to help them.
During Guided Practice, pupils are dividing 1-digit and 2-digit numbers by 10 and 100.

Mental Maths / Arithmetic
Answers to yesterday’s questions …
65 ÷ 3 = 21 r 2 89 ÷ 4 = 22 r 1 259 ÷ 5 = 51 r 4 457 ÷ 4 = 114 r 1 2753 ÷ 2 = 1376 r 1 7462 ÷ 4 = 1865 r 2
Here’s another card game to help with mental maths skills.
Writing Task
We will continue with the Talk for Writing – King of the Fishes
Today I would like you to:
1st … how good are you at story telling the King of Fishes? Do you need to practice it a bit more?
If you are confident in telling the story with great expression and maybe some actions, you could (if you want to) video yourself telling it and email it to me. I’d love to see how you are getting on and I’ll post them onto the class blog.
2nd do the tasks on page 14 and 15
Spellings
Don’t forget to practice this week’s spellings: early, earth, eight, enough, exercise.
Make sure that you know the meaning of each word. Perhaps you could write sentences with the words in.
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.
