Maths World Problems

To solve a maths problem that is outside the times tables follow these steps.

The first step is write your own number sentence.

The second step is break up the big number. For example 14=10+4.

The third step is to multiply the smaller number. For example (6x10) (6x4).

The fourth step is to add the number. For example (6 x 10 = 60) (6 x 4 = 24) 60+24=84.

 The fifth step is to write the number sentence again but with the answer. For example 6x14=84.

The final step is to write the number sentence again but a word problem. For example Joe ordered 84 sandwich platters in total.

L.I To solve multiplication problems with a factor greater than 10.

Gruffalo

To re write a story you need to change the character, the setting, where the character met the mouse and when the mouse describes the gruffalo's favourite food. 

The change I made was changing the mouse into a squirrel. The squirrels setting is a underground house. I also changed the gruffalo's favourite food to Fox soup.

LI: To re write a narrative. 

Reading-Conections

Making connections is when you use text to self, text to text, and text to world.

Text to self means to make another connection with other books. For example The gruffalo is very big and the is scary. Also the book jack and the beanstalk has someone big and scary. 

Text to text means to make a connection to yourself. For example the mouse was brave when he scared the other animals away. Also the BFG scares people away.

Text to world means to make a connection with the world . for example the owl took the mouse to his tree top house. In the book Master Crooks theirs old people that kidnaps kids. 

LI-To identify and describe connections

Setting Description

A setting description is created by a picture of what a characters place looks like, smells like, feels like and sounds like.

To describe what it looks like use adjectives like small, camouflage and other adjectives.

To describe what it smells like use adjectives like use adjectives that use smelling.

To describe what sounds like use adjectives like windy and other adjectives that describe sounds like.

To describe what feels like use adjectives like cold and other adjectives that describe feels like.

The four senses can help people build and understanding of what is been describe.

L.I To write a setting description.

Risk

 This week we learnt about risks.

We rated situations on low risk, likely risk, possible risk, evaluated risk, and extreme risk. Low is In most cases are risks that can be  avoided by common sense. Likely in most cases can be avoided by common sense with application of skill. Possible are Risks that are contained by application of safety procedures. Evaluated is something that safety procedures only limit some danger. Extreme is something that out number the safety procedures and danger that is about to happen.

Later we wrote our own situations that match each risk level.

Low, Likely, possible, evaluated, and extreme, all describe different levels of risk.

LI - To access likelihood.

LI - To access consequences.a

7x Tables and 9x Tables

Multiplication is counting the same number over and over. For example 9+9+9+9+9=45. For multiplication it is 9x5=45. For another example 7+7+7+7+7=34. For multiplication it would be
5x7=34.

These two slides below show the 9x tables and the 7x tables.
