Pentagons Wednesday 29th of May

Hey Pentagons...

Today we learnt about reversing to solve missing factor questions. Use a calculator to solve these problems. To make it easier for me to mark can you please write out the WHOLE question? Thanks!

Circles Fast Finishers Work Wednesday 29th of May

If you have finished the check-in assessment sheet that I want you to do then please work on the following questions. I want you firstly to practice using standard written form- if you get stuck you may work with a partner but you made such GOOD progress yesterday I am pretty confident in all of you.

1) 25x42

2) 41x32

3) 92x11

4) 63x73

5) 49x28

Once you have done these check you answers on a calculator. Did you get them all correct? If not work backwards and see where you went wrong, was it your basic fact knowledge or a strategy error? Just to make sure that you have go the strategy sorted do one more...

6) 77x34

Got it now? Great!!

Next we need to do some more practice of tidy numbers strategy. Remember that this strategy is about changing one number so that it is easier to work with. See your books for some more help (we did this a few weeks ago now!)

7) 39x33

8) 54x18

9) 33x57

10) 41x62

How did you go? Check with a partner and see did you make the same numbers tidy? Did you remember to add on or take off? Check you answers with a calculator and see how you went.

Are you done? You are AMAZING! Work on maths quest my awesome circles group.

Hi Circles

You did some great stuff yesterday- well done. We quickly went over the strategy of solving division problems by reversing them to multiplication. Whilst this work was really easy strategy it will get harder and will set you up with some good strategies for harder numbers.

Today we want you to quickly work through these questions. They should be quite simple and you should get them done quickly.

When you are done I want you to make sure that you have finished all the work for your group this week. If you have finished it all then I want you to mark your work using a calculator. Anything that you got wrong I want you to fix up any mistakes you made.

When you are done then you may work on mathsquest.

Boom!
