Mental Maths
maths week 3.pdfWhat am I learning?
*How to revise doubling and halving
How can I make sure I am successful?
*I can solve the problems using mental maths
*I start with either doubling or halving the biggest number place, then the second, etc.(e.g. For 123 you start by doubling 100, then 20, then 3)
Activity description/steps:
Today, we’re going to practise using mental maths to double or half numbers!
We’re going to use a technique in order to do so. If we wanted to double the number 42, we would first double 40, then double 2 and add them.
80 + 4= 84
If we wanted to half a number we would use the same technique.
Half of 264 is:
Half of 200 add half of 60 add half of 4.
100 + 30 +2= 132
Use those techniques to complete the worksheet! Try your best at using mental maths for as much as you can, but feel free to write it out using the technique above if you get stuck. Complete the first worksheet first. If it took you less than 30 minutes, do the second as well. You only need to do one if it was too hard or took longer than 30 minutes.

How can I make sure I am successful?
*Read the text slowly and carefully

Activity description/steps:
Before you begin reading, have a kōrero with a family member about what you already know about Diwali.
Read this article on “The Story of Diwali”. Once you’ve read it once, get your recording device out and record yourself reading it a second time. Make sure to send this through to your teacher.

Once you’ve finished that, have a think about how your family celebrates the New Year. What traditions do you have? What time of the year is it? Write 3-5 sentences about it.

Antonym Diamante Poem
diwali-crafts-paper-marigold-garland-guide.pdfDiamante Poem_ Antonyms.pdfWhat am I learning?
*To create my own antonym diamante poem
How can I make sure I am successful?
*I have chosen two words that are antonyms
*I follow the directions for each line
Activity description/steps:
Remember how you created a synonym diamante poem last week? Well this week we’re going to make an antonym one! Remember, an antonym is a word opposite in meaning to another (e.g. good and bad)
Remember these few rules when it comes to writing a diamante–
Diamantes are 7 lines long.
The first and last lines have just one word (these will be the two words that are synonyms). The second and sixth have two words.The third and fifth lines have three words. And the fourth line has four words.
Lines 1, 4, and 7 have nouns. Lines 2 and 6 have adjectives. Lines 3 and 5 have verbs.
It’ll look like this–
Noun
Adjective, adjective
Verb, verb, verb
Noun, noun, noun, noun
Verb, verb, verb
Adjective, adjective
Noun
Check out the example poem about winter and summer. These two seasons are antonyms since winter is cold and summer is hot. Notice how in the middle line the first two nouns relate to winter, and the last two relate to summer. That’s how you’ll break up that line.
Give it a go and make sure to share with your teacher!
