Mental Agility

Ms.Brunner

Welcome back! We hope you had a lovely holiday and are feeling motivated for the new term! 🙂

We will begin this term with the red level of Mental Agility and

Please find attached activities we will be covering in class!

As always this will also be our Numeracy homework!

Thank you for all your support at home!

PRIMARY 1:

Early Level 1 Red Counting forwards and backDownload

PRIMARY 2,3 and 4:

First Level 1 Red Counting forwards and backwardsDownload

PRIMARY 5, 6 and 7:

Second Level 1 Red Counting forwards and backwardsDownload

One of the most important skills in numeracy is to be able to count forward and backward.

It is vital to not always start at 1:

  • Can you count in 1s starting from 3?
  • Can you skip count in 10s starting from 50?
  • Can you count backwards in1s from 98?

Lots of games, taking turns counting or passing an object can make it fun and part of your daily routine!

Catchy songs can help fluency too:

Times tables practice is also crucial:

Multiplication and Division update

Ms.Brunner

The last 5 weeks we have been focusing on

Multiplication, Division, Fractions, Decimals, Percentages, Ratio and Proportion:

Please take a look at some of our fabulous learning:

EARLY LEVEL:

Primary 1

are working on a group of 10 and some extra ones…

PRIMARY 2-4

Some of our learners really enjoyed this helpful song:

lots of new vocabulary about

EQUAL GROUPS

and EQUAL SHARES

PRIMARY 5-7

The Cuisenaire rods have been very helpful in making equal groups and demonstrating multiplication:

Lots of times tables practice with board games and online games have helped fluency!

The grid method helped with 2digit x 1 digit

as well as 2digit x 2 digit multipluication

We hope you enjoyed practising at home too and appreciate all your support with the chilli HOMEWORK challenges

Please select 2 activities from the grid below to practise:

For maths this week I have assigned 2 games on EducationCity, which focus on mental subtraction and addition. Your child has been sent home with their log-in details. I have attached it to homework jotters where possible.

I have also assigned one literacy game focussing on verb tenses, so the children have a chance to revise some of the grammar work we have been doing in our non-fiction reading and writing unit.

Have a great week!

Mrs Rush
