Next week, we will be looking at percentages and fractions before moving onto Ratio.
Here are some links to refresh your memory: http://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/ks2/maths/number/percentages/play/ http://www.bgfl.org/bgfl/custom/resources_ftp/client_ftp/ks2/maths/percentages/index.htm http://www.topmarks.co.uk/interactive.aspx?cat=24 (Lots of games here, including ratio at the bottom of the list) Ratio Rumble is a great game - also available free at the Apple App Store! We will look at multi-step word problems (they are usually worth 2 marks on the tests). We will have to do 2 operations to get the answer. Often they are related to money and other real-life situations. Try being a shopkeeper here! AVERAGES For averages, you need to know these key words: mode (most), median (middle number), mean (average) and range (the difference between the highest and lowest number). Watch the video below - Is it better or worse than Mrs Henderson and me singing for you? Below are some links to games to practise: http://www.crickweb.co.uk/ks2numeracy-money-and-mean.html If you need an explanation, try http://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/ks2/maths/data/mode_median_mean_range/read/1/ For other games, try Granny racing! Click to set custom HTML Last week, we actually gave out 3 class awards: Cailen and Curtis both achieved more than 20000 points on Mathletics, whilst Lara won the class design for Nick Sharratt's pants (see the previous post). Brilliant effort! In addition, most of the class got their first Bronze certificate in Mathletics! Well done - keep practising everyone! 
After 2 days with Mathletics, our class are currently 16th in the UK - a brilliant achievement. Don't believe me? Here's the proof! Keep practising; remember the gold bars mean you have mastered a topic. If it gets tricky, just ask and we will go through it in class. We'll profile some of our high scorers in the coming days too! 
Next week, we will be reviewing the words we use to describe numbers:
Odd and Even Multiples and Factors Square and Prime Numbers Here are some games to help you with these terms. http://www.crickweb.co.uk/ks2numeracy-properties-and-ordering.html http://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/ks2/maths/number/operations/play/ http://www.basic-mathematics.com/divisibility-rules-game.html Some Booster children searching for different types of angles. 
Here are lots more angles games and activities:
As part of our work on probability, we worked out the chance of choosing a certain colour. What was impossible? What was certain?
