Maths

Starter

Begin by practising your Gem Maths.  You are then going to carry on practising your numbers between 80 and 90.  Play Fastest Finger using your hundred square.  Get your grown up to say numbers between 80 and 90 and find them as fast as you can.  How many can you get in one minute?

Comparing Numbers to 100

Yesterday you were counting to 100 and partitioning numbers.  Today we are going to be comparing them.

To compare numbers we need to use the language 'less than', 'greater than', 'more than', 'equal to', 'the same as'.

We also need to use the symbols:

<  >  =

Can you remember which is which?

Clue:  The crocodile eats the larger number.

When we compare two numbers we need to approach it logically.  If we had the numbers 43 and 38, we would begin by comparing the 'tens' numbers.  In this case, 4 tens is more so that number must be larger.  If the number of tens is the same, we move to the ones columns to see which is larger.

38 < 43       Thirty-eight is less than forty-three

or

43 > 38        Forty-three is more/greater than thirty-eight.

This may seem obvious, but children need to be clear that we use place value to compare numbers and that the column a digit is in determines its value.

Today we are going to think about where food comes from. Initially we are thinking about where food comes from, is it from a plant, animal or both? If you click on the curriculum section on the previous page you will find all the relevant information. 

Phonics and Reading

We would like you to click on the videos below and watch the phonics lessons from Letters and Sounds. Activities which you can do to apply the sound are in the video and there are also linked underneath.  

After, please watch the videos on the phonics resource and support section which practices all your phonics sounds using the flashcards which we use at school. Have a go at saying the sounds along with Miss Smith. Make sure you are saying the pure sounds accurately.
