LESSON 20

Let's practice division

Use your times tables to help you solve the following sums:

24 ÷ 6 =                18 ÷ 3 = 

16 ÷ 4 =                  20 ÷ 5 = 


12 ÷ 2 =                  56 ÷ 7 = 

28 ÷ 4 =                 32 ÷ 8 = 


63 ÷ 9 =                  36 ÷ 12 =
 


Now play "Who Wants to Be a Hundredaire?"

LESSON 17

Create a scavenger hunt!

Step 1
Write the following sums on a piece of paper.
12 x 14
30 x 10 
16 x 23
45 x 35
42 x 33

Work out the answers but don't tell anyone and write each answer on a separate piece of paper. Then hide the answers around the house or the garden. 


Step 3
Give the page with all the questions to somebody to solve. 
They must go on a hunt to try to find all the answers!

Step 4
If you are playing with more than one other person, you could make it into a race! If not you could make a prize for completing the Scavenger hunt. :)

LESSON 12

Ask someone at home if there is a weighing scales you can use. 
Before you start:
What do we use a weighing scale to measure?
We use it to measure how ......... something is. 
Clue: It begins with h and ends with y. 

Now what unit do we use? 
Hint: It isn't cm and m, that's for length. 
You will find the answer on the scales.
Correct! It's grams and kilograms. 

So how many grams are in a kilogram? 
Use the scale to help you.... 
Correct, there are 1000 g in one kilogram. 

On this scale, can you see how it is divided with small lines? 
What do the numbers show us? 100, 200, 300... It is showing us intervals of 100. Where would 50g be? 
Halfway between 0 and 100. It's a small red line, can you see it? 

Choose 5 items around your house that you can weigh. Always estimate first!

LESSON 4



Ben and his Mum are getting their fingers green in the garden...
but they need your help! 

They are planting garlic cloves. 
"Ben arranges the cloves into three rows and finds that he has one spare clove. How many cloves might he have had to start with?

Ben plants cloves of garlic in two rows and has one clove left over. So he tries again.
He plants cloves in three rows and has one left over. So he tries again.
He plants cloves in four rows and has one left over. So he tries again.
He plants cloves in five rows and has one left over. So he tries again.
He plants cloves in six rows and has one left over.
We know that he has fewer than 100 garlic cloves. How many did he have?"


Use the interactive activity to help you. 
Or if it doesn't work on your device, get paper and pencil and draw the garlic cloves to solve the problem. 




LESSON 3

Crack the Secret Code!

A = 25          B = 100         C = 50         D = 75     E = 10              F = 80           G = 11         H = 35        I =16           J = 42             K = 91        L = 17          M = 9         N = 1       O = 140       P = 500      Q = 16        R = 93         S = 1000       T = 999        U = 74            V = 83           W = 5      X = 7      Y = 13             Z = 26             


Letter 1: 7 x 5
Letter 2: (5 x 3) + 10 
Letter 3: 50 x 10 
Letter 4: 1000 divided by 2
Letter 5: an unlucky for some prime number

Letter 6: 20 x 4
Letter 7: 100 - 7
Letter 8: 4 x 4
Letter 9: three quarters of 100

Letter 11: the date one week ago today 


Have you cracked the secret message?
Now see if you can invent your own code. Write a secret message and give it to someone to solve! :)


LESSON 2

It's time to Measure! 

But today we are going to use our: 


Choose a room in you house or your garden!

Estimate (guess) how long the room is using your feet to measure! 

Then check! (Remember not to leave any spaces between your feet)

Was you estimate close?


Now do the same for the width. 


When you find out how many feet long and wide the room is,
 can you work out the perimeter?

Perimeter is when you add up the length of all the sides! 

Have fun measuring! :)



LESSON 1
Wednesday 18th March

Imagine that you own your own sweet shop or toy shop! 

Design your own catalogue.
