Maths

Hi Everyone,
​
This is just a suggested timetable to help give a bit more structure to school work at home for anyone who might need it. Feel free to adapt it so that it suits your family's schedule. If you have any questions about the work, feel free to e-mail your class teacher at the new class e-mails. If you have not received an e-mail from your class teacher, please check your spam folder to see if it is in there.

Suggested Work for 22nd - 26th June

Go to your Bingo activity card that we sent home in the packs a few weeks ago and choose one of the maths activities. 

This time of year we would be having our sports day, school tour and graduation so we will be trying to make the next two weeks as fun and active as we can. 
Keep revising your tables and skip counting as often as you can. (This will help next year when you start to learn multiplication.)
Everyday start off with practicing your skip counting for 10 minutes, see can you get faster everyday. You can also practice your addition and subtraction tables if you would like. You can make tables cards using a cereal box (or any other piece of card or paper) and play a game to help with your practice. ​There are a few game ideas below that you can play if you make these tables cards at home.
Last Man Standing: 
You will need the tables cards with no answers. We play this game in school all the time, quickest person to answer gets to stay standing, the last person standing wins. If you're playing with just 2 people, then the quickest person to answer can keep the card, the person with the most cards at the end wins. If you are playing by yourself, play the game the same way but time yourself and see how long it takes you to answer all the sums. See can you get faster each time

Snap:
Use both set of tables cards and shuffle them together. Divide them between two people and play snap saying the sum every time you put a new card down.
Fastest Hand:
You will need the tables cards with no answers on them and the number cards. Lay out all of the tables cards face up. Put the pile of the number cards face down (see the picture below). You will need at least 3 people to play this game. One person picks up a number card and calls out the number, the other players race to find the sum that matches. Whoever touches the correct card first gets to keep the card. If someone touches the wrong card they have to put it back and the other players can continue to race for the correct card. If you are playing by yourself, play the game the same way but time yourself and see how long it takes you to find all the cards. See can you get faster each time.
Memory Game:
Use both sets of tables cards and shuffle them together. Lay all the cards out face down. Play with 2 or more people and take turns turning over two cards each. If you turnover two matching cards, keep them. If the cards do not match, turn them back over and try again on your next go. The person with the most cards at the end wins. If you are playing by yourself, play the game the same way but time yourself and see how long it takes you to find all the matching cards. See can you get faster each time
After you have practiced your tables, you can do the mental maths activity and word problem from your worksheet. Each day has a different mental maths activity and word problem. Use the RUDE problem solving strategy and the problem words posters (pictures below) to help solve the word problems.
