Maths

Today's Big Maths is a fun and colourful challenge to explore multiples and digital roots of numbers.

Find the digital roots of each of the times tables 1 - 12 and join the dots in the circles, in order, (one circle for each times table).  Instructions for how to find the digital root are included along with a template of the circles.

If you are unable to print the template, find something circular and draw around it, placing the dots as accurately as you can.  

This week we are exploring patterns in multiples and factors.  This will be great revision of your times tables as well as an opportunity to practice our trial and improvement method from last weeks Zids and Zods investigation.

Keep the rules in front of you and remember our examples of factors and multiples.  Print out a few copies of the 100 square to colour. You will also need red, blue, purple and yellow coloured pencils.

The record is 67 (held by Oliver at Bradworthy Primary Academy, Devon). Can you beat it?  Have fun!

Today's reasoning and problem solving challenges involving multiples.

Before 4pm today, have a go at the Kahoot! Multiples quiz at the link below or click on the Links tab on the website.  Log in with your real name (just first name and last initial should be fine) and then complete the questions.  Be careful some of them are quite tricky!   https://kahoot.it/challenge/05697097?challenge-id=537caf85-4475-4ebd-a7c5-e5b1c11e8134_1612194032324

Today's maths home task is some fluency style questions about multiples.

Choose your level and get cracking!

Today you will be applying your amazing long multiplication skills to solve some real-life problems. You need to show your workings out for each problem and beware - there may be two steps involved to be able to solve some of them. Read the questions carefully!

Have a go at the questions 1-8, which are the 'feeling happy' ones.

Question 9-11 (with the flames beside them) are the 'hot stuff' ones if you'd like an extra spicy challenge!

The answers are included - no peeking! Don't forget to upload your work to the website so we can assess how you are doing.

Here is today's maths task - reasoning and problem solving.

Enjoy your weekend!

I know I will!!!

Continue to practise and apply your multiplication skills with a range of calculations including TO x TO and HTO x TO.

There are three different levels to choose from: Starting Point, Feeling Happy and Hot Stuff. Select the level you feel confident with and make sure you show all your workings out, using the method you have been taught.

If you need to use a times table square to help you, please do. Please make use of the drop-in session at 2pm if you are stuck.
