Activities

Continue to practise multiplying by TO x TO, choosing the level you feel confident with.

Some of you will have moved on to multiplying HTO x TO - you can complete the 'Hot Stuff' section.

Make sure you set your work out clearly, keeping the digits in the correct columns -especially as you will be generating some big numbers!

The answers are attached so you can mark your own work before uploading it.

If you need it, there is the video demonstrating the method in the links section.

Today's challenge: a final bit of 2 x 2 digit multiplication.

Choose your level, get it done then relax and enjoy your weekend!

(There is an extension task for those who want a bit more)

Here are chapters 8, 9 & 10 of Wonder.  Today's activity is all about exploring different characters and using your retrieval and inference skills! Your task is to complete the feelings grid to show how you think August feels about the three children he meets, and how they feel about meeting him.

Continue to practise multiplying TO x TO with the calculations on the attached sheet.

Select the section you feel most comfortable with to have a go at. Make sure you complete all your workings carefully, keeping the digits in the correct columns!

The answers are included and remember, there is also a video of the method in the links section if you need to watch it again to help you.

Today's independent task is to solve some word problems that require you to apply your long multiplication skills.

Read the question carefully, identify the key information and check if more than 1 calculation is required before solving each problem.

Answers are attached - no peeking until you're done!

Here are chapters 6 and 7 of Wonder  - Paging Mr Tushman and Nice Mrs Garcia.

The VIPERS comprehension questions and character task are in the link below. Don't forget to refer back to the text to complete the character task and to help you with your comprehension questions.

Today's fun maths challenge is a place value game (ideally for 2 players**)!

Each player has two sets of 0-9 digits and must place them all in the boxes to create 5 x 4 digit numbers that are as close to the target as possible.  Whoever is closest to each target gets a point for that box so you need to consider your placement of each digit carefully.

Instructions are attached.

Good luck and have fun!

**If you are unable to play against a family member you could play both sides and see which side wins.

This week we are continuing with the fantastic text "Wild boy".  The link to the text can be found here https://www.lovereading4kids.co.uk/extract/9408/Wild-Boy-by-Rob-Lloyd-Jones.html  A printout may be useful for the session (we are focusing on pages 11-15).

We are revising our skills in multiplying and dividing by 10, 100 and 1000 this week through Tarsia puzzles.  Please print as many as you wish and keep each puzzle separate when you cut them out.  Once you have found all of the matching calculations and solutions, the puzzle shape can be glued into your books. The answers are included too so no peeking! 

Here are the options for today's home learning.

Option 1: Number crunching - practise your long multiplication to become more confident with the method.

Option 2: If you are already secure with the method, try these reasoning and problem solving challenges.

For both options, choose a level that challenges you.
