MATHS:*Improve your Multiplication Tables with

https://arithmetic.zetamac.com/game?key=7550253f

(Write the page number at the top & always number your questions)

*Improve your Mental Maths with the next two Tests from Brainteasers

*PLANET MATHS ACTIVITIES - Day 1 - Tuesday:Page 150 Mental Maths 6 A & B

Page 151 Mental Maths 6 C & D

Day 2 - Wednesday:Skip ahead to the chapter about Capacity - page 157

We only need to answer B Q. 1 & 2 on this page In Maths the word “Capacity” means the amount of liquid (volume) that a container can hold. In other words, capacity is all about measuring how much liquid is in a container.

In Europe we measure capacity with ml (millilitres) and L (litres).

Memorise these facts - 1 litre = 1,000ml

- 34 litre = _____ ml

- 12litre = _____ ml

- 14 litre = _____ ml

Your grandparents probably measured capacity using pints and gallons!

Let’s get Practical !Beware - the next activity might get a little messy so take it outside into the garden, near an outside tap.

You will need: A measuring jug with ml / L marked on the side

A bucket

A saucepan

A mug

An eggcup

A teaspoon

Choice of container

Draw this Table into your copy to record your results.

Container Estimate MeasureBucketSaucepanMugEggcupTeaspoon(Choice of container)

Step 1: Record your estimates in the Table Step 2: Slowly and carefully fill the bucket by pouring litres of water from the measuring jug, counting as you go.

You will probably have ………. Litres & …………….. MlStep 3: Now use the water in the bucket to find the capacity of the other containers. Each time record your results.

Step 4: Water the plants !Step 5: Wash everything carefully and put it back where it belongs.

😇

Day 3: Thursday:Page 158 B - Here are some word problems to get you thinking

Page 158 C & D

Extra: If you like you can search your fridge / cupboard and find

some jars and bottles. Record the capacity in either ml or litres.

Day 4: Friday:A - some more word problems

B - Here we are using a decimal point to separate the Litres from

the millilitres. Remember 1 L = 1,000ml. Q.1 is asking you to write litres with a decimal point

Q.2 is asking you to change the decimal point back to Litres

and ml.

WARNING - THIS CAN GET TRICKY! 😉

The best way to do this is to make sure that you have 3 digits after the decimal point. It stops all the confusion.

So if the sum says 4.53 L You can change it to 4.530 L It’s still the same amount, just easier to work with.

For example Q.2 a) 4.530 L = 4L 530 ml If you didn’t have the 3 digits you might think it was 4 L 53 ml and that

would be wrong!

Here’s another one:

Q.2 b) 2.56L = Change it to 2.560L Correct Ans: 2L 560ml ……………….. (Wrong answer would be 2L 56ml ) So when we are working with Litres & ml and we are using a decimal point, we always make sure to have 3 digits after the decimal point. The extra zero at the end doesn’t change the value of the number, it just makes life easier for us! Phew!

Q.3 The rule for x decimals is to multiply as normal. Then count how many digits are after the decimal point in the sum and leave the same number after the decimal point in the answer.

Here’s an example -

Q. 3 a) 3.50 2 digits after the decimal point in the sum

x 3 so I need 2 digits after the decimal point in the answer

10.50

Q.4 Rewrite these so that they look like the sums in Q.3

Q.5 The rule for dividing decimals is always keep the decimal

points under each other (same as the rule for + and - )

Optional Extras- if you need extra practice or a challenge!You should have free access to Busy at Maths 4 on this websitewww.cjfallon.ie

Tick Primary / 4th Class / Maths / Busy at Maths / Busy at Maths 4th / Online book /

Type page 164 into the search bar. This will give you extra practice at finding a fraction of a litre

Type page 165 into the search bar. This will give you extra practice at changing from ml / fractions of a litre / decimals of a litre ________________________________________________________

Religion & Art :file:///C:/Users/sorch/Downloads/pentecost%20story.pdf

This is a link to a powerpoint about Pentecost. It explains how the Holy Spirit first came to the apostles. This was really the first Confirmation. You will notice that these people were Baptised and Confirmed on the same day.

file:///C:/Users/sorch/Downloads/cfe-re-23-pentecost-windmill-activity_ver_1.pdf

This is a link to an art activity which helps you to make a windmill. It’s called a Pentecost windmill because the wind blowing through the windmill reminds us of the Holy Spirit arriving in the form of wind.

S.P.H.E : Topic: Making Decisions

Everybody makes decisions every day.

Think about all the decisions you have made since you got up this morning.

Now think of all the decisions you will make throughout the day all the way up to when you go to bed tonight.

Our days are filled with decision making. Many of the decisions you make throughout the day will require little thought. These things we do almost automatically.Can you think of any examples of these kinds of decisions?Some decisions are made for you by people like parents and teachers and the government. For example, whether we go to school or not, whether to sit or stand in class and lots more.Can you think of other times when decisions are made for you?There are lots of things which help us to make decisions

- past experiences (good and bad). - things we like- imagining what would happen (consequences - bad

things might happen)- our beliefs - influences (other people persuade or force us to

choose one thing over another).- I always do it (habit)- My parents told me to do it (direction)

What do you think is the best way to make a decision?Does it depend on the decision?What would help you make a decision about what you eat?What to watch on t.v.?

Which ways of making decisions would be good to use in these examples? Give reasons for your answers.

What would you do if…..❏ The lollipop lady/man was not at a busy crossing when

you arrived on your way to school?❏ You found a wallet with €30 on the street and the

owner’s name and telephone number was written inside?

❏ You forgot your lunch?❏ You had a bad headache - You knew where your

mother keeps the tablets she takes when she has a headache. Do you get them?

❏ You are sleeping over at a friend’s house as their parents are having a party and they said you could come to keep your friend company. While you are there you see some drinks in a glass. You don’t know what they are, but your friend suggests that you both drink some.

❏ You lose your library book❏ Your best friend moves away to live in a different

county.❏ An older child keeps bothering you in the yard.

Mandala Art:

The word ‘Mandala’ is from the classical Indian language of Sanskrit, loosely translated to mean ‘circle’. A mandala is far more than a simple shape. We can find mandalas in nature. Examples of mandalas in nature are daisies, oranges, onions, the iris of your eye, starfish etc.

Can you think of any others?

Make a Flower Suncatcher Mandala.Materials:

Paper Plates

Scissors

Transparent contact paper (the sticky clear covering used to cover books works well)

Flowers and leaves

Markers

Hole punch

Wool/ string

Step 1.

Create the flower suncatcher frame.

Begin by making a frame for your flower suncatcher by cutting out the flat centre of your paper plate.

Step 2.

Then cut a circle from transparent contact paper to fit over the opening and attach it at the back of your paper plate with the sticky side facing the front of your plate.

(overlapping the paper plate by about 2 cm)

Step 3.

Press flower petals and leaves onto the sticky contact paper.Arrange flower petals, petal pieces and leaves in outwardly concentric designs, circles, arcs, or other shapes which share the same centre, the larger often surrounding the smaller) on contact

paper to create your mandalas.

Step 4.

Add another piece of contact paper over the top to protect and hold the flower design in place.

Step 5.

Hang the flower mandala suncatcher.

Punch a hole at the top of the frame and tie a loop of string or wool at the top of the frame for hanging.

You can make a mandala from any object, even on the beach using pebbles.

Give it a go, see how many different materials you can use and designs you can come up with. 😊
