Week 7 (WB 18.5.2020)
Mrs Angel’s Group
This week we are going to have a think about some arithmetic skills and displaying and interpreting data.
Arithmetic:
Keep playing card games (number bond Go Fish is a really helpful one but if you feel that those skills are embedded have a go at War or Spit
instead. You could even introduce Pontoon)
Have a look at https://nrich.maths.org/10654 doubling and halving is a really important skill.
You could have a go at making a skittles addition game with things from your recycling bin https://nrich.maths.org/10654 (it could be fun to use all
different types of bottles for this, you could make the more difficult to knock over bottles have a higher value, also you don’t need to paint them
and make them look special, bottles with water in them and numbers written in marker pen is fine!)
Think of a number (e.g. 24) and say ‘The answer is 24, what could the calculation be?’ work together to find as many ways as possible to make the
number. This is a great activity because you can make it as easy or as hard as you like.

Interpreting data:
Have a go at making some pictograms https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qenKu-GUAE8 you could make a pictogram of the different fruits in
the fruit bowl, different tins in the cupboard, flowers in the garden and so on. The most important thing is for the children to understand that
they need to look at the key and find the value of one whole picture in order to interpret the pictogram. Have a look at this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUXmLcfp3-o it talks about range at the end which the children don’t need to know about yet so I would
stop when you reach that bit!
Have a go at the questions on the sheets in the seprate file.
Try the reasoning and problem solving questions below:
Hello all and welcome to a new week of home learning,
To get started….
Try to keep up with your five a day! https://corbettmathsprimary.com/5-a-day/
Remember to practise your times tables with TT Rockstars.
Place Value Riddles – What is the number? Try to write the answer in figures and words e.g. 127 and one hundred and twenty-seven. You could also make up some of your own.
The number has three digits.
The ones digit is double 4.
The hundreds digit is the answer to 2 x 3
The tens digit is the same as the number of sides a pentagon has.
The number has three digits.
The ones digit is 82 less than 91.
The hundreds digit is the answer to 300 divided by 100.
The tens digit is the same as 6 + 3.
The number has three digits.
The tens digit is less than 1.
The ones digit is the number of sides of a triangle.
The hundreds digit is the same as 0.7 x 10
The number has four digits.
It is less than 6000 but greater than 5000.
The hundreds digit is the same as a ¼ of 20.
The tens digit is the answer to 55 divided by 11.
The ones digit is the same as number of minutes which is the same as 120 seconds.
The number has four digits.
The hundreds digit is the same as the number of sides a hexagon has.
The tens digit is the answer to 2 x 1 x 4
The thousands digit is the same as the number of kg in 5000g.
The ones digit is VIII
The number has four digits.
The tens digit is the same as the sides of a triangle and the sides of a quadrilateral added together.
The ones digit is the answer to 7 + 8 – 6
The thousands digit is the same as the number of metres in 400cm
The hundreds digit is 2 less than 2
The Year 4 focus for both White Rose and BBC Bitesize Daily Lessons this week in Maths is Fractions.
The learning this week covers comparing fractions, equivalent fractions and simplifying fractions. Remember
you can choose to use either resource or a combination of both. Both websites have a ‘Challenge of the Week’ activity on Friday.
https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-4/ The video tutorials can be found online and the other resources you need have been provided as a separate file. You may have already covered the content in Monday’s lesson if you have been following White Rose from the start so there is a different activity revising ‘What is a Fraction?’ in the worksheet resources.
Keep practicing your calculation skills by generating your own questions. Remember you can choose your level of difficulty, the area of Maths you would like to work on and set yourself a time limit!
