Maths for this week - starting 30th November

This week the focus in our maths lessons will be how halving and doubling can help us to multiply and divide. We will use doubling to help us x4 and x8. We will also use halving to help us divide by 4 and 8.

We will also look at division and investigate what happens to the quotient (answer) when you halve the dividend and divisor.
e.g. 24 divided by 6 = 4. If I halve 24 (the dividend) and 12 (the divisor) will the quotient (the answer) still be the same?

As you can see, there is also a lot of vocabulary we are learning for multiplication and division too - so ask your child to explain these words for you.

We will also be looking at function machines to help us improve our pattern and function skills and there are some great websites for practising this. These will be added very soon.

Homework - due date Friday 4th December
Create, using a word processing programme, 25 question cards for your maths bingo card. Make sure that each question card is the same size and shape. Please remember that all 25 answers on your bingo card must have a question card.
