This week we will think about real-life money problems related to money. Here are a couple of games to try: http://www.doorwayonline.org.uk/tillwemeet-fullscreen.html There are lots more here! Next week, we are going to revise coordinates and the actions you can do with shapes. Try some of these games: Coordinates: http://resources.oswego.org/games/BillyBug2/bug2.html http://www.counton.org/games/flash/virtualmathfest/dinosaur.swf Reflection/Symmetry http://swgfl.skoool.co.uk/content/keystage3/maths/pc/learningSimulations/ASXSC/launch.html http://www.matematicasdivertidas.com/Zonaflash/juegosflash/reflexiones.swf Plus the BBC game below: What are the chances of it raining today? How likely is it Sunderland will win the Premier League? What is the likelihood Newcastle will win in Europe? Also, these games are about probability:http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/teachers/ks2_activities/maths/probability.shtml
http://www.bbc.co.uk/education/mathsfile/shockwave/games/fish.html - This one has 3 levels, which are challenging by the end. We will be learning about negative numbers first, so these games are great!
http://www.free-training-tutorial.com/negative-numbers/speedboat.html Also, for a game on inverse operations (addition vs subtraction and multiplication vs division) try this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/ks2/maths/number/operations/play/ Next week, we will be working on percentages, which are just fractions out of 100!
Eg. 0.2, which is 2/10, can be made into 20% (or 20 out of 100). Here are some games on percentages to try:
This is great practice for finding common percentages (there is also a fractions example)! If you find any more games, don't forget to share! Here are a couple of fantastic presentations from our pupils. The first is a Science experiment about factors affecting evaporation from Niall and Katie and the second is a very thorough, clear explanation about fractions from Ben. Ben tells me there is a big cheer half way through (we were applauding Kat in the class whose Christmas decoration has been chosen by Stanley to be made into an illumination). More news on that soon hopefully... After looking at converting units of measure, next week we will go onto looking at area and perimeter. Try these links to get you into area (the middle of a shape) and perimeter (the rim or edge of the shape)! http://www.bgfl.org/bgfl/custom/resources_ftp/client_ftp/ks2/maths/perimeter_and_area/index.html Can you do the Superbrain challenge on: http://www.funbrain.com/poly/index.html Can anyone come up with a better way of remembering what area and perimeter is than the rap below? Fantastic effort in the Writing SATs; you should be very proud!
Just because revising for SATs is your favourite thing, try these (if you want): 1. I am a square. My area is 81cm2. How long are my sides? What is my perimeter? 2. What is 32 x 43? 3. I am a 5 sided shape. What am I? 4. I think of a number. I multiply it by 5 then take away 10. My answer is 25. What number am I? 5. Put these in order (smallest first): 3kg, 1700g, 1 tonne, 3700g. 6. What is 4.5 x 8? 7. I buy a Roald Dahl book (priced £5.99) and 3 pencils (35p each). How much change will I get from £10? 8. There are 220 children in a school. The minibus can hold 17 children. How many minibuses will I need to get to the Louisa Centre. Can you set some questions for your friends to try?
