Worked Example – What pet should I get

🔢Maths🔢 – 30 minutes

Learning Intention: We are learning to understand multiplication as equal groups, arrays, repeated addition and skip counting.

Success Criteria – I can:

• Understand how to ‘read’ a multiplication sum. (3 x 4 = 12, “3 groups of 4 is 12”)
• Make equal groups or arrays to match a multiplication sum.
• Write the repeated addition sum to match the sum.
• Skip count to work out the answer.
• Understand that the numbers in a multiplication sum can be ‘swapped over’ ( eg:3 x 4 = 4 x 3) and use ‘commutative property’ to help me work out the answer. (Know one, know the other)

Warm up – Multiplication: Give me 5 

Please see the example below for how to fill out the ‘Give me 5’ sheet:

Grade 1: Give me 5

Use two dice if you have some or choose 2 numbers that are 6 and under (but not 0 or 1). Use the image below as a guide to draw up 4 boxes to record your work and remember to write the equation in the middle of the page. (Put it in a plastic pocket so you can use it over and over). Practise 2 equations. 

Grade 2: Give me 5

Use two dice if you have some or choose 2 numbers to 10 (but not 0 or 1). Use the image below as a guide to draw up 4 boxes to record your work and remember to write the equation in the middle of the page. (Put it in a plastic pocket so you can use it over and over). Practise 2 equations. 

Independent Task:

Use two dice or choose 2 numbers 6 or under (not 0 or 1).

In your Remote Learning workbook record a sum. (For example 2 x 3). Make and draw the array and then write the answer to the sum. 

Then reverse the numbers and record the sum. (For example 3 x 2). Make and draw the array and write the answer to the sum. Check that the answers are the same. If not, repeat the task. 

What do you notice about the arrays? Are they exactly the same shape? Did you notice that the answer will be the same?

🔢Maths🔢 – 30 minutes

Learning Intention: 

We are learning to understand multiplication as equal groups, arrays, repeated addition and skip counting.

Warm up –

If your child is struggling with 3 digits, just use 2 cards and make 2 digit numbers. Alternatively, if your child is finding 3 digits easy, give them 4 cards to make 4 digit numbers. 👍

Independent Task:

Watch the video below to revise what is meant by ‘repeated addition’ and how this links to multiplication.

Multiplication: Give me 5

Last week in our learning about multiplication in maths we practised making ‘groups of’, arrays and writing the repeated addition sum to match the equation. This week we are also learning how skip counting can also help us to work out the answer to multiplication sums.  

Please see the example below for how to fill out the ‘Give me 5’ sheet:

Grade 1: Give me 5

Use two dice if you have some or choose 2 numbers that are 6 and under (but not 0 or 1). Use the image below as a guide to draw up 4 boxes to record your work and remember to write the equation in the middle of the page. (Put it in a plastic pocket so you can use it over and over). Practise 3 – 4  equations. 

Grade 2: Give me 5

Use two dice if you have some or choose 2 numbers tto 10 (but not 0 or 1). Use the image below as a guide to draw up 4 boxes to record your work and remember to write the equation in the middle of the page. (Put it in a plastic pocket so you can use it over and over). Practise 3 – 4 equations.

🔢Maths🔢 – 30 minutes

Learning Intention: 

We are learning to make and interpret arrays.

Warm up –

If your child is struggling with 3 digits, just use 2 cards and make 2 digit numbers. Alternatively, if your child is finding 3 digits easy, give them 4 cards to make 4 digit numbers. 👍

Independent Task:

Multiplication:

Last week in maths we practised making ‘groups of’. Please see the poster above. This week we are going to practise making arrays. Please see the second poster above. Show your children these when they are working to remind them of the difference. ‘Groups of’ are having separate groups. ‘Arrays’ are putting the groups into rows and columns.

Watch the video below for an explanation of the term ‘array’.

Grade 1:

Use two dice if you have some or choose 2 numbers that are 6 and under (but not 0). Use this sheet to record your number sentence or equation (put it in a plastic pocket so you can use it over and over). Practise 5-6 equations. Send a photo of one to your teacher.

Example:

Grade 2:

Use two 10 sided dice if you have some or choose 2 numbers that are under 10 (but not 0). Use this sheet to record your number sentence or equation.(put it in a plastic pocket so you can use it over and over) Practise 5-6 equations. Send a photo of one to your teacher.

Information Report – Writing descriptive sentences

Watch the video about foxes:

Please get out your fox diagram from your pack. Use this diagram and your labels to write descriptive sentences about foxes.

Year One:

Try to vary your sentence starters so you are not starting with the same words each time. Eg. Dogs have four padded feet. Their tails are long and fluffy.

Use your labelled fox diagram to write sentences that clearly describe what a fox looks like. Please use the lined paper provided in your child’s take home book bag. We would like the diagram and writing to be handed to the teacher when school resumes. 

Year Two:

Try to vary your sentence starters so you are not starting with the same words each time. Eg. Dogs have four padded feet. Their tails are long and fluffy.

Use your labelled fox diagram to write sentences that clearly describe what a fox looks like. Please use the lined paper provided in your child’s take home book bag. We would like the diagram and writing to be handed to the teacher when school resumes. 

Year 2 challenge: Make sure that you use your adjectives within your sentences to describe a fox in more detail.
