Maths for this week - starting 8th March

Lots of work this week! We shall continue our work on symmetry and constructing 3D shapes - we are very proud of the symmetry sketches of different buildings from year 4. We have some very talented artists!

We shall also be revising our subtraction strategies of adjusting and partitioning and this will also be the focus of this week's homework.

We shall also be developing our measuring skills for length in preparation for a flute workshop next week! The children will be making their own flutes with a special guest and therefore need to make sure they can use a ruler to measure accurately in cm and mm.

Homework - due Friday 12th March
Activity
The homework activity for this week focuses on subtraction - p. 10 and p. 11 of textbook.

Maths Practice
Maths Practice for this week again focuses on different number facts. We are looking for neatly presented work and expect this to take 5-10 minutes.
Monday - write 7x and 9x table in maths homework books.
Tuesday - write number bonds to 50 in maths homework books - e.g. 27 + 23, 36 + 14
Wednesday - doubles up to 50
Thursday - halves up to 50 - watch out for those odd numbers!
