Last week we looked at interpreting graphs and representing data and information using "Number". This week we are moving into balancing equations. What do you think this means? Check out some of the examples and clips below to help you build your knowledge! Remember you can watch them as many times as you like! Time to practise.. These worksheets get progressively trickier. Be sure to check the task board to see which one you are up to for your session. Remember that the answers are below, so Act with Integrity! Have fun, and remember you can go back and watch the videos at any stage. Something Trickier... (yes, it has the same title as above, but it is different)Know your words? Here's a challenge...

This term we are looking at Algebra. We will also have a cantamaths session every week that will focus on basic facts and problem solving. It's going to be a really fun term! We have two groups to start with this term, the Whizz Kids and the Mighties. So let's get into! EVERYONE: We are going to be investigating Algebra. It is important that we understand what it is. You have been sent a document with your questions and links that could be useful. Enjoy! Whizz Kids: WALT find relationships in repeating and sequential patterns e.g. In the sequence 3, 7, 11, 15, …, the tenth number can be found by 3 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 39. Here are a couple of activities that you will be doing this week: Mighties: WALT Interpret and identify relationships in tables and graphs.
You will need this in the second session link: https://www.khanacademy.org/math/algebra/solving-linear-equations-and-inequalities/More-equation-practice/v/patterns-in-sequences-1 You will need this link on during the Friday session: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2iqug2jM5o Then answer the questions and develop the rule for the equation. Congratulations everyone! We nailed fractions. Time to move on. Over the next few weeks we will be looking at volume and capacity. Below are some links that may be helpful in your investigations. What do you think volume is? What do you think capacity is? We will be exploring the language, knowledge and practical investigations also. Enjoy! LINKS FOR VOLUME: 1- This is a good link for volume in general- a good introduction: http://www.mathsisfun.com/definitions/volume.html 2- Another general site for volume information: http://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/ks3/maths/measures/volume/revision/1/ 3- What is the difference between volume and capacity? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKCE8ohIBqE 4- How to work out the volume- formula: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1nWI2b0fT4 5- Volume Song: http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=volume+explanation+for+kids&FORM=HDRSC3#view=detail&mid=F77A437631EFEEA950DCF77A437631EFEEA950DC 6- Isometric Dot Drawing Tool: http://illuminations.nctm.org/Activity.aspx?id=4182 LINKS FOR CAPACITY: 1- This is good link for capacity- an introduction: http://www.mathsisfun.com/definitions/capacity.html 2- This is a basic video: http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=volume+explanation+for+kids&FORM=HDRSC3#view=detail&mid=3487B6CB6870CAAC51FB3487B6CB6870CAAC51FB 3- Measuring Capacity: http://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/ks2/maths/shape_space/measures/read/4/ 4- Maximum Capacity Game: http://primarygamesarena.com/Play/Maximum-Capacity-10473 Volume: Figure it Out Activities Capacity: Figure it Out Activities Here it is team, the final week of fractions, proportions and ratios before we move onto strand next week. This is what this week looks like: WHIZZ KIDS: WALT find fractions of whole number amounts using multiplication and division, e.g. 2/3 of 36 =( 2/3 × 36). Monday's follow up activity from last week is about comparing fractions. Which fractions are bigger, smaller or the same? Check out the activity below. Remember to Act with Integrity as the answers are below: How did you go with that? Next up, we have a Figure it Out activity called Marvel Marbles. So it turns out I made a mistake on the task board above. Whoops, sorry team! In replacement for Thursday rotation 1 (MM) will be this activity. Check it out below: Mighties and Allstars: Estimate and find percentages of whole number amounts using benchmark percentages, e.g. 65% of $80 as 50% is $40, 10% is $8, 5% is $4, so $40 + $8 + $4 = $52
You are all amazing mathematicians and am I so proud of how far you have come with fractions this term. Time to turn it up, set a few challenges along the way. Have fun this week and enjoy the new strategies and ideas, oh, and another mini maths project! Check out the task list below.... What is the Mini Maths Project? Have a look below... Here is a link that might help you with this also: https://www.mathsisfun.com/percentage-menu.html, go to introduction WHIZZ KIDS: WALT compare the size of fractions! Check out the example below... Mighties/ Adders: WALT convert fractions to decimals, and percentages and vice versa. Check out the following link and navigate your way through to find more information: Percent to Fractions: https://www.mathsisfun.com/converting-percents-fractions.html Here are some of the activities you will be investigating this week. We need to make sure some of our decimal knowledge is good to go and there are some fun Figure It Out activities thrown in too. Miss Jones has your other follow up activities stashed away! WHIZZ KIDS this week- check out what they are up too- Equivalent Fractions- Fun! Click on the pae below to take you to the Maths is Fun website where you can find out more information. Here are some of the activities for you this week. Remember to Act with Integrity as some of the answers are below too: Mighties and Adders: This week they are looking at Improper Fractions, especially on a number line! Check out the following links to give you a clue! Click on MATHS IS FUN (this will take you to the link) and the image below. Here is something for you to try later in the week. Remember to Act with Integrity as the answers are below! Whizz Kids know ratios inside out and back the front, Mighties and Adders can find a fraction of a whole number. What's next you ask? It is all VERY exciting. This week the Mighties and Adders are multiplying fractions by fractions, and the Whizz Kids are investigating how many times a fraction goes into a whole number. Check out some links and activities below: Whizz Kids WALT rename improper fractions as mixed numbers using materials with multiplication, and position improper fractions on a number line. What is an improper fraction you ask? Check this out.... https://www.mathsisfun.com/improper-fractions.html or check this out. In the video, he refers to "quarters" as "fourths"- same deal. Click on the image to take you to the link... Whizz Kids, here is one of your activities this week... Mighties and Adders WALT multiply fractions by other fractions, e.g. 2/3 x 3/4 = 16/12 = 1/2. How does this work and what does it look like? Check out these awesome link to get a run down. You may like to go through this with your parents too...
