Maths:
Over this week, we will be recapping our knowledge of Place Value, looking at Hundreds, Tens and Ones.
As you know, everyone learns differently and has a preferred method of working in Maths. For Place Value, we practise a range of methods so you can choose which is the best method for you!
When working out problems in Place Value, we can use counters, part, part whole method and Dienes (chips and peas!) You may not have the same things as we have at school but you can always draw your working, for example:
25 could be drawn like this: || …..
Today, we are looking at counting in hundreds!
Watch the video to remind you about place value: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4FXl4zb3E4
Have a look at the questions below, read each carefully and write the answers.
A little reminder…
Topic:
Last term in Science we were looking at light. One thing we can investigate to do with light is shadows. Shadows are formed when light is blocked by an object.
Can you produce a model of a Stone Age house. This could be a lego model, cardboard silhouette or another way. When you have done this, with a torch can you use it to create a shadow of the house?
When you have managed this, can you work out how to make the shadow bigger or smaller? What makes a shadow bigger and what makes a shadow smaller? Can you record your findings and explain them?
