Wushka reading task: 30 – 40 mins:

Sign into Wushka https://wushka.com.au/login
Select one of the five Wushka Non Fiction book that your teacher has set for you in Reading Groups (Cats, Rabbits, Horses & Lizards). It is in your levelled library. Only read one book of these assigned books each day. Please note that the books are the same as last week. (As we are looking at a different comprehension strategy it is useful to read familiar books, so the children can concentrate on the new strategy, rather than unfamiliar words or ideas.)
Read the text.
Think about two ideas to compare that are on the same page, or over two pages so you can flick between the two.
Talk to your parent about how two ideas in the text are similar. Record these on the Venn diagram.
Talk to your parent about how these two ideas are different. Record these on the Venn diagram.

🔢Maths🔢 – 30 minutes

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

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 – Linking skip counting and times tables (Creating a ‘cheat sheet’)

Click on the link below to download a sheet to record the skip counting pattern and sums for the 4 times tables, or use it as an example to create your own sheet.

Helpful hint: You can skip count by 4’s by ‘whisper counting’ using the 2’s pattern. Eg: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20
