Mental Maths:

We’ve revised the 6 times table.

Can you use it to help you solve multiples of 10?

e.g. 6 x 7 =42

60 x 7 = 420

Remember that your homework books are a place for you to record your practise.  We will look through them to check how you’re getting on with your test scores but if you want to make sure your teacher looks at something in particular, please tell them!  If you want to keep them an extra night to practise, just make sure they are in school every Wednesday for your test.

Please make sure you have practised your spellings and mental maths ready for our class test next Wednesday.  You do not have to print this homework at all – just copy the words into your homework book so you can practise them whenever you want to.  Practise your mental maths verbally too.  We have been so impressed with how many children scored 10/10 this week!

The spelling trophy had to be shared though because the average score across both classes was 7.7!  I wonder which class will be victorious next week?

Mental Maths

We have revised our 9 x table this week.  Make sure you can recite them in any order.  Remember to use ‘product’ and ‘factor’ from last week but this week add in ‘squared’.

e.g. 2 factors of 18 are 9 and 2.  The product of 9 and 2 is 18.  9 squared is 81.

Comment on this post if you want to share how you’ve got on with it.

Y5 Homework 14.9.17-2j9os72

spacious

vicious

gracious

malicious

precious

conscious

delicious

suspicious

atrocious

ferocious

Our mental maths this week has focussed on the 8 times table.  We have started to introduce more vocabulary to help you with this.  Can you use the word ‘product’ and ‘factor’ within your answers?

e.g. 4 x 8 = 32.  The product of 4 and 8 is 32.  Two factors of 32 are 4 and 8.

Try to answer your multiplication questions within 5 seconds!

We will test spellings next Wednesday and use the mental maths in our class assessments over the whole week.

We have had an amazing start to the term Y5.  You have worked really hard in establish yourselves as members of your new team – including diversity in Team All Saints and how you are responsible for supporting this.  We started the day by watching our super talented staff (!) acting in a short film about your journey through Y5/6.  Click here to watch it.
