Doves - 29th April - Home Learning

Date: 29th Apr 2020 @ 7:46am

Good Morning Doves! I can't believe it is Wednesday already (we're already half way through the week!). I have been so impressed with the work I have seen this week. I hope alongside work, you are all still managing to learn new skills and enjoy the time with your family. 

 

 

 

 

 

Feedback on Yesterdays MATHS Learning: 

Maths Feedback:

Q10 seemed to prove most tricky on the Step 1/2 task:

The key was to realise that the question was asking you to work out the boys which means finding 2/5.

45 / 5 = 9

9 x 2 = 18

On the Step 3/4 task, Q4 was answered incorrectly the most times:

You had to realise that the larger tower was a whole or 200/200. If the smaller tower is 1/200 of the size, it makes sense the larger tower is 200/200 (all of it).

So an efficient mental way of working this out is:

30cm x 200 = 

30cm x 2 = 60cm

60cm x 100 = 6000cm 

6000cm = 6m   (100cm in a metre so divide by 100)

I have attached a video to the bottom of this blog post. This will help you with your Task 1 - Using the perfect verb form.

Task 1: To convert decimals to fractions, use the place value of the least significant decimal to provide you with your denominator before simplifying.

E.g. 1

0.45

The 5 is in the hundredths (h). This means your denominator will be 100.

45/100

From here you can simplify. The highest common factor is 5. Divide both by 5.

=9/20.

E.g. 2

0.045

This time the 5 is in the thousandths.

so 45/1000 (don't need to include the zero in the tenths - doesn't add anything)

Divide both by 5 (highest common factor).

= 9/20

Task 2: To convert fractions to decimals, divide the numerator by the denominator - use a bus stop and add in the decimal point and extra zeros below if this helps.

 

Have a lovely day and stay safe,
