Room 13, 14 or 12 for Maths:

When we add or subtract numbers with two or more digits we can use our place value knowledge and our knowledge of number pairs to help us.

For example…We know:

·         There are ten ones in 10

·         There are ten tens in 100

·         There are ten hundreds in 1000.

Number pairs:

1 & 9=10               4 & 6=10

2 & 8=10               5 & 5=10

3 & 7=10               10 & 0=10

So when we have an equation such as 2651+_____=3000 we can use our number pairs to help us. We need to find the difference and the difference will be the digits that add to make a multiple of 10. Except, we need to make sure the number does not go over its answer.

2651+____=3000

1……..3000-2000=1000 (We now know that we need to forget about thousands and find the difference between 1000 and 651.

2………1000-651= (Let’s use our number pairs):

6+4=10                 5+5=10                 1+9=10

The numbers we need to use to make our number pairs (underlined) will give us our answer.

3…..459 But, wait! The number is now over 3000. All we need to do is drop down the each number digit by one except the last one. 349

So….2651+349=3000

Try these questions:

1.   456+___=500

2.  2000-325=

3.  765-500=

4.  700-225=

5.   _____+1364=2000

6.  600-196=

Room 15 for maths (Room 12 challenge)

1.       Moana's Watch: Moana set her digital watch at 13:00:00 on the last day of April. Unfortunately the watch loses 11 seconds a day. What is the time on Moanas watch when it is 13:00:00 on the last day of May?

2.   On Mathland TV a political commentator summed up an election result as follows.

A Labour majority of 1729 last time has been turned into a Conservative majority of 1654 in this election and the conservative candidate has obtained 38% of the poll. Labour has taken second place. The Liberal Democrat has obtained only 14% of the poll and has been beaten into fourth place by the SNP candidate who has 50 more votes than the Liberal Democrat.

Given that there were just four candidates and that the figures quoted were exact find the number of votes polled for each candidate.

3.   Equal circles can be arranged in regular square or hexagonal packings to fill space as shown in the diagram so that each circle touches four or six others.

What percentage of the plane is covered by circles in each packing pattern? How is this of use in packing cylindrical cans and what are the advantages and disadvantages of the two packing systems?

Big 5 Animal Research

Task 1:
Choose an animal from the big 5 that you are interested in and don’t already know much
about:
African lion,
African elephant,
Cape buffalo,
African leopard,
White/Black rhinoceros
After making your decision, research the key characteristics about that animal using the
report planning sheet that you have been given. Take notes in each of the sections ready to write your report on this animal next week.

Task 2:
After completing our reports we will be making shoebox models to
show the habitat you big 5 animal lives in.
You will need a shoebox for this. Have a look around your house for
a shoe box that no one at home needs. Bring it into school ready to
make your models. If you have any others that are not needed,

bring these too as there may be someone else in the class who could use it.

*You may like to start finding your facts tonight however you will be given the template tomorrow in class.
