Over the next 2 weeks we will be doing lots of assessments so to avoid overloading the children there will no extra homework set. Keep reading and take time to revise your spellings and look through the work we have covered this year on the weebly.
To progress the children's understanding of number, we have been asking them to solve word problems.
Example: I have collected 56 cards. There are 100 in the set. How many more do I need to collect? ____ Method 1- mental Start on 56. Add 4 to get to the next 10 which is 60. Add 40 to get to 100. Add the numbers together. Number sentence to show working out: 56+4=60 60+40=100 40+4=44 cards Method 2- written Draw a number line with 56 on the left end and 100 on the right end. Add on 4 to 56 to get to 60, add on 40 to get to 100. |
