P6/7 Group 1 and 2 - Maths Monday

Good morning P6/7,

I hope you have had a nice weekend! You are doing so well with your home learning – thank you to everyone for trying so hard in these tricky times. I am missing you all lots but I am enjoying seeing your work and chatting to you each day!

Have a lovely Monday!

Mrs Muir 😊

Groups 1 and 2
Welcome to Maths Monday! Today, we are learning how to multiply and divide a decimal by 10, 100 and 1000. We know how to multiply or divide by 10, 100 or 1000 and the process is just the same for decimals – we just need to remember our decimal points and take care with place value!

Task 1
Look at this video from Khan Academy which focuses on multiplying and dividing a decimal by 10, 100 or 1000. Take your time with this and pause it or watch it twice if you need to.

Task 2
Try one of the challenges from ‘Chilli Challenge 1’. The focus here is to practise multiplying and dividing by 10, 100 and 1000. Make sure that you pick the one which you feel is right for you. I have attached some extra help sheets and put them into Teams files as well in case you find this tricky.

Task 3
Complete one of the challenges from ‘Chilli Challenge 2’. These ones focus on the same skills but you might need to think a little more closely about the process because there are parts of the calculations missing! As with task 2, make sure that you pick one that is right for you. You may need to persevere with these when they get tricky! Don’t give up right away – if you find something really hard, email me or look again at the help sheets.

Afternoon Learning
If you have finished the tasks by the afternoon slot, use the time to practise your times tables, spend 20 minutes on Sumdog or Number Gym or create a money poster.

Log onto Lexia and complete your 20 minute slot. The teacher address you will need is kaye.armitage@fife.gov.uk

Try this week’s task in the Taskmaster channel on teams.

Something a bit different - brush up on your French language skills by listening to speech and playing games on BBC Bitesize - https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/subjects/z39d7ty

Extras

Today’s riddle – What begins with ‘t’, ends with ‘t’ and has ‘t’ in it?

*The answer to Friday’s brainteaser – The next five numbers Josh will count are 28 932, 29 932, 30 932 and 31 932.

A joke to start off this week –
How do you talk to a giant?
Use big words!
