Maths

Here are the answers from yesterday.

15 - 10 = 5 11 - 10 = 1

18 - 10 = 8 16 - 10 = 6

13 - 10 = 3 21 - 10 = 11

24 - 10 = 14 29 - 20 = 9

27 - 10 = 17 30 - 20 = 10

32 - 20 = 12 36 - 30 = 6

Did you notice that the first digit in the number changed but the second digit stayed the same?

Tomorrow we are going to be looking at some word problems. Often word problems do not use the word ‘takeaway’. In order to prepare for this I would like to you think of as many words as you can that mean takeaway or subtract.

Geography

Did you know that the United Kingdom (UK) is made up of four countries.

Can you find the UK on a map? Can you draw a map of the UK and label the countries? Each country has a capital city. London is England’s capital city. What are the names of the capital cities of the other three countries?
