a few sheets of A4 paper
scissors
coloured pencils.
Important: Ask an adult to help you when using scissors.

How many ways can you fourth (quarter) a piece of paper?

Turn over 3
Let's have fun with a number game!
How to play:
Shuffle the cards into a pile.
Place the pile face down between 2 players.
Take turns to turn over the top 3 cards.
Players look for doubles, near doubles, combinations to 10 and 20.
Players keep the cards of any known facts they identify and know, justifying their thinking to their partner who records it on the recording sheet.
Any unused cards are placed into a discard pile.
Players continue taking turns until the cards run out. When that happens, it is a reshuffle of all of the unused cards.
Re-distribute them into 3 piles and continue playing.
The winner is the player with the highest cumulative total at the end of 5 rounds.
Hint! Cumulative means to keep adding onto your previous total.
For those who like a challenge!
After you’ve played a few times, you could try these variations:
For subtraction, choose which cards to combine using known facts and then subtract the third card. Players are able to keep all three cards if they are able to identify a known fact and then subtract the third value, explaining your mental computation to the other player.
Play until the whole deck of cards is used.
Geography
You will need:
Features of places – maps
Let's learn about maps! A map is a drawing showing features of a place from a bird's eye view. A bird's eye view is a view of something from above, like you are a bird looking down.
Watch the video and join in the activity.
You will need:
workbook
pencils.
Draw or create a bird’s eye view map of your bedroom or another room in your home.
Hint! The steps from the video are included below in case you need them.
What is a map?

Step 1:
Draw the shape of your room. This is called the border.
Step 2:
Add a title at the top of the page.
Step 3:
Draw in your key/legend with symbols to help someone else to understand your map.
Step 4:
Add the features of your bedroom. Don’t forget to think about the size of these features (e.g. your bed would be much bigger than your desk).
