2.

Week 3: 4th May - 7th May 2020
Monday: To consolidate what you have learnt so far about converting fractions to decimals, I'd like you to have a go at one or more of these games:
BRONZE This game is a great fractions refresher. If you have not been getting 100% on GoFormative, I would recommend starting here.
WHOLE CLASS This game requires you to match fractions, decimals and percentages, and uses representations to help you.
SILVER This game requires you to match fraction and decimal equivalents.
GOLD This game requires you to quickly convert fractions into decimals mentally. Ideal for those of you working at greater depth.
Tuesday: Complete the sheet about 2D shapes. You can either draw the grid in your Blue Book or complete it on GoFormative.
Wednesday: Complete the sheet by either drawing the shapes accurately in your Blue Book or on GoFormative.
Once you've coloured each shape, label them.
circle
square
triangle
square based pyramid
rhombus
hexagon
sphere
cube
cylinder
cuboid
rectangle
triangular prism
Thursday: Complete these questions either in your Blue Book or on GoFormative.
Week 2: 27th April - 30th April 2020
Monday: You will either need to print out the sheet, complete it on GoFormative or use a ruler and pencil to draw a 100 square grid.
Tuesday:
When you have responded to my feedback, watch the video below about how to turn fractions that do not have a denominator of 10 or 100 into fractions, then answer the questions below either in your Blue Book or on GoFormative.
1. 1/5 =
2. 3/5 =
3. 1/2 =
Silver Challenge: You will need to turn the denominator into 100 instead of 10 for these.
For example: 3/4.
What do I need to multiply 4 by to make 100? 25 because 4 X 25 = 100
Multiply the numerator by 25: 3 X 25 = 75
Multiply the denominator by 25: 4 X 25 = 100
So 3/4 is equivalent to 75/100
I can now turn 75/100 into a decimal because I have 75 hundredths.
75/100 = 0.75
4. 1/4
5. 3/20
6. 24/50
Wednesday: Using the same method from Tuesday's Maths, solve these questions either in your Blue Book or on GoFormative.
Thursday: Write the fraction and decimal equivalent for each of the representations. Remember to use the same method you learnt on Tuesday and used yesterday. You can always watch the video again to refresh your memory too. Complete this either in your Blue Book or on GoFormative.
