Happy Friday- I hope you have a lovely weekend in the sun!

Maths

To solve these problems you might have to try some numbers first to see if they work and change them if they don’t.

Remember:

A multiple is a number that is in that times table eg. 16 is a multiple of 4

A square number is the number you get when you multiply a number by itself eg. 25 is a square number because 5x5 =25

A cube number is the number you get when you multiply a number by itself and then by itself again. eg 27 is a cube number because 3x3x3=27

Can you you create your own problem in a similar style?

I have recorded a video of me reading the first 2 chapters of Cosmic. Have a watch and see if you can answer the questions. I have added a picture of page 3 so that you can answer the first question.

1. What phrases on Page 3 show dishonesty?

2. What impression do you get of the main character in the opening paragraphs?

3. Why does everyone think the main character is older than he is?

4. Why can’t the main character believe that everyone is napping?

5. What does the main character love about space?

6. Predict, at the end of the two chapters, how he might try to get back to Earth.

7. Explain why the main character hates the phrase ‘you should know better, a big lad like you’.

8. Where did the main character say he was going?

9. Summarise how you think the main character may have ended up in space.

10. Summarise the impressions you get of the main character.
