Thursday 25th June:
Subtraction - Day 4
Can you use the inverse to find a missing number? So on a simple level:
8 - ? = 5 so how can we rearrange the question to put the ? at the end?
8 (as its the largest number) - 5 = ? So the answer would be 3.
So use this idea to help you solve your problems today.
Wednesday 24th June:
Subtraction - Day 3

As part of getting ready for secondary school I plan on reviewing the basics over the next few weeks. This work is identical to the work that those who have returned to school will be completing. There's lots to do. So get busy!!
Friday 12th June:
Prodigy
Line graph assessment. Today there are 20 questions on Prodigy set to see how good you are at understanding data. Complete them all and let me see your success rate. Yesterday the average score was 85%. Many people were in the 90%'s but some did drop down to 75/77%. Be careful.
Thursday 11th June:
Prodigy
Today I have set you an assessment on line graphs and pie charts. How well can you do? Some people are smashing Prodigy already this week - well done Maisie and Sam.
If you are unsure about pie charts remember these things:
Use this if you want to practice first: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/guides/zrg4jxs/revision/5
Wednesday 10th June:
What you need to be able to do is understand what you have drawn. What does it mean when a graph goes up, down or stays the same? You might need to know this to help you with today's activity. Look for the worksheet below.
Tuesday 9th June:
You did well yesterday. Today you need to be able to make you own line graphs. Remember SALT.
S - Scale - what are we measuring and how much are we counting in?
A - Axes - which direction measures which part of your data?
L - Labels - a graph means nothing unless you explain what scales mean.
T - Title - What is the graph about? We need to know in order to understand.
Have a go at the activity below for the 9th June. Use the powerpoint to refresh your memory if you are unsure.
Monday 8th June:
Today's work is on line graphs and how to read the data that they show us. Use:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/guides/zrg4jxs/revision/1 to help you review the skills needed. It does say KS3, but the information is good and clear and in 12 weeks you will be KS3 so think of it as good practice. The work below is KS2 so have a good go at it.
Friday 5th June:
Prodigy
On yesterday's assessment the average score was 85% How do you work out and average (mean)? Well if you had scores such as:
100 85 66 82 52
What you do is add them all up. You would get 385. You then divide by how many scores were used. In this case its 5 so 385 divided by 5 = 77. The average score is 77. So yes some of you did score higher than the average. Can you make a higher average today?
Thursday 4th June:
Prodigy
On Prodigy there will be focus questions about percentages. Get on there and complete as many questions as you can. Looking at the leaderboard we could with some more names up there.
Good Luck
Wednesday 3rd June:
Well done yesterday, for those of you whose work I saw. Today you need to order fractions, decimals and percentages. It would help if you could convert them into the same type. So:
If you were given 1/10, 45%, 0.87 ans 3/5 change them all to % for example. Then they would be: 10%, 45% 87% 60% Now you can easily put thm into order.

Monday 1st June:
Today's work is around changing fractions to percentages. Remember percentages (%) are out of 100. So if you can make the denominator out of 100 and adjust the numerator in the same way to make it fair.Then you have a percentage. For example:
3/5 (3 over 5) = 5 x 20 = to make it out of 100. To make it fair 3 x 20 is 60 = 60/100 (60 over 100). Therefore 3/5 (3 over 5) is the same as 60%

Keep up the good work. Remember accuracy is more important than the quantity. Get them right not rush through them. Plus correct answers = victory.
Thursday 30th April:
PRODIGY!! Can you get the top spot? I can see how many questions you have gotten correct and how many you have attempted. The top 3 players will get a special mention on the class page at the end of Friday. To be a top player its not about doing the most questions, its about taking time to get them correct. Good Luck team!!
*remember to look at the correct answer if you were wrong - learn about what went wrong so you don't make the same mistake twice.

Friday 24th April
Angles in a triangle. 180! Let's learn about the angles in triangles. Try lesson 2 today. https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-6/
Remember, Prodigy is always available once you have completed this task.
Thursday 23rd April
Let's change it up. Today we can do some work on angles. What does acute, obtuse and reflex mean? You may need this vocabulary to help you understand vertically opposite angles. This is easier than it sounds - some opposite angles are equal in size. Equal. EQUAL! Have fun.
Lesson 1 = https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-6/
Wednesday 22nd April
Comparing fractions less than 1 video. Please use the below link to work through the lesson. We have done this before. It still requires you to create common denominators by multiplying and being fair to the numerator.
https://www.thenational.academy/year-6/maths/compare-fractions-less-than-one-year-6-wk1-4/
Prodigy is also available as usual. Be careful with your accuracy. Some of you are only getting around half of the answers correct.
Tuesday 21st April
Continue to work on Prodigy, if you need any help with your fraction understanding please go to:
https://www.thenational.academy/year-6/maths/understanding-equivalence-year-6-wk1-2/
This should help remind you about common denominators and recognising that denominators may vary but fractions are worth the same values.
Monday 20th April
Log in to prodigy I have set the questions for this week to be based around:
Fractions.
You will have to add, subtract and order fractions. I will be able to see how well you get on so if you are unsure how to do any of these skills, look online or email me. Good luck!
Mr Redfern.
