Last week in maths all groups learnt to do the multiplication algorithm.
Today, we would just like you to practice the skill you already learnt last week.

1.2 The Long Multiplication Algorithm: Its woes and new ease. | G&#39;Day Math

Below you will find 2 worksheets of algorithms. You DO NOT have to do them both. Choose your level and complete what you can. Remember, this is to practice the skills you learnt last week in class. If it is too hard, please let your teacher know.

This week we are going to pause and focus on our wellbeing, and we have taken inspiration from this book:
It’s an absolute classic, with the message being “if you make others happy/feel good, then you will too”, and I think this is a really important message for us all at the moment. Click here if you’d like to read it. 
So over the weekend we have created the Woodford ‘Pay It Forward’ matrix, giving you lots of ideas that should (hopefully) make those around us feel good, which will make us feel good too.
Please feel free to complete or repeat as many as you like. We look forward to all our buckets being full!
