Maths

Green -Today, we are going to learn to subtract from whole amounts.

Here is the link to a video that will teach you everything you need to know for this lesson, just as I would teach you in class:

After you have watched the video, have a go at answering the questions on the attached worksheet. Afterwards, you can mark your answers and ask a grown up to go through any mistakes you made that you don’t know how to correct.

Attached is a true or false for you to answer. Work through it and explain your answers. This is just a discussion to have with somebody else, you do not need to write anything down.

ROY - Today, you will be learning about the equivalence of 2/4 and 1/2 . Equivalence means the same as equal. If you split a pizza into 4 slices and ate 2 of them, you have eaten 2/4 of the pizza, which is equal or equivalent to ½.

This is recapped learning so try and think back to what you covered when learning about fractions in year 2.  Have a go at answering the questions on the attached worksheet. Afterwards, you can mark your answers and ask a grown up to go through any mistakes you made that you don’t know how to correct.

Blue - Today, you are going to be learning to find 1 more and 1 less up to 100.

Once you have watched the video, have a go at answering the questions on the attached worksheet. Afterwards, you can mark your answers and ask a grown up to go through any mistakes you made that you don’t know how to correct.
