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!
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.
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.
Continue to practise multiplying TO x TO with the calculations on the attached sheet. As explained before, you don't need to do every single one! Work for about 20 minutes on them and check regularly that you have the correct answers - the answers are on the second sheet in the file. Think about where you want to start and, as you would in class, if you want to, start at the Starting Place to do 1 or 2 then move on to Feeling Happy when you are more confident if you want.
Isolation can be tough for lots of different reasons.

Today's home learning: Multiplying 2 digits by 2 digits.
To reinforce the learning, please have a go at one of the worksheets attached.
As this is a new skill, I would suggest choosing the developing or expected level and only moving onto the greater depth if you are really confident and comfortable.
