📝Writing📝
Learning Intention: We are learning to write lowercase letters correctly on dotted thirds lines.
Success Criteria – I can:
- hold my pencil correctly with the ‘snappy crocodile’ grip.
- rest my letters on the solid line.
- use the dotted thirds lines to make sure my letters are the correct size.
- start and finish my letters in the correct position.
If you need more dotted thirds paper for writing tasks, please click on the following link to print.
Draw a pattern on the lines at the top to warm up your hand ready for writing.
Neatly write the days and dates for this week. Make sure you are holding the pencil correctly (snappy crocodile) and form your letters neatly on the lines.

Webex Check In @ 10:30 am
This is a time for your child to check in, say hello to their classmates and ask any questions about the activities for the day.
1/2K – Meeting number: 165 208 3651 Password: hello
1/2BL – Meeting number: 165 665 6706 Password: hello
Focus: Reading (Book Week book – Busy Beaks – see the front cover below)
Before our Webex meeting, think about what you already know about birds. You might like to write some ideas down to share.
🔢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:
Watch the video below for an explanation of commutative property.
Grade 1: Task: (15 minutes)
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?
