Assignments for 25th -29th May 2020

Mrs. Kealy and I are putting a “shout out” for your photos of when you were small.  We always do this for 6^th class at this time of the year. The photos must be school related and can have your friends or family in it. You can email these to us at our school emails or post them if its easier. Make sure if you are posting them to put your name on the back of them so we know who owns them and can return them!!

We have received some already and you all look so small and full of wonder. Keep them coming!

Maths.

·         This week we are revising Co-ordinates and Area/Perimeter.

PM  6 p191 ( Co-ordinates) and p113(area)

Remember in co-ordinates the y-axis is the vertical line and the x-axis is the horizontal line.

When reading co-ordinates, we first read off the x-axis and then the y-axis (You will remember me saying “Go out and up”). Therefore, co-ordinate  (4,7)  4 is the x co-ordinate and 7 is the y co-ordinate. I know you are all able to plot the co-ordinates on a grid so I have put in a few different activities this time round.

Note: when using the CONFUCIS table (bottom of p191 and top of p192), the letters C,O,N,F,U,I, S were put in on the grid first. Then  A, B, D, E, G, H, J….etc were added. You will notice C is already in, so is F and I as they are in the word CONFUCIS. You fill in the grid alphabetically thereafter. Look at the grid on p 191 of PM 6.

·         Do PM 6 p191 A Q1 e&f, A Q2, A Q3.

·         Do PM 6 p192 A Q1 d&e, A Q2-4. Also do B Q1-4.

·         Try this game “Bombs on the grid”. I could not drive the car. You have a go!!

·         Area= L x W for a regular square/rectangle. All irregular shapes must be made regular first. Look at the examples at the top of page 113.

·         I have also put in metres, ares and hectares. (Metre squared is the smallest unit of measurement and the hectare is the biggest unit of measurement). Look at the drawings down the side to explain what each measurement is. Have a go at converting ares to hectares and so on.

You might ask if mam or dad can help you to see the difference between 1 metre squared, an are and a hectare. That means going outside and doing some measuring with a measuring tape in a green open area.

·         Do PM 6 p113 A Q1-3, p114 a Q1&2 a-c, p114 B Q1-3 a&b, p116 B Q1&2 d-f, p116 C Q1-5. There is no need to do every question on the page. Just the ones I assigned.

·         1) Draw out your bedroom on a sheet to scale. When we talk about scale , we draw the diagram so it fits on the page. But that isn’t the actual size of the room etc. Use the scale 1:40, which actually means 1cm on the page is equal to 40cm of your room in real life.  You may use a different scale if you find it easier. Calculate the area and the perimeter of your room.

2) You could overlay a grid for co-ordinates on the map later and hide treasure in the different places in your room. Maybe a younger sibling would like to do a treasure hunt with you and find the treasure you have hidden in the room just for fun!!!

·         Tables. X7 and ÷7

·         www.topmarks.co.uk  is a good website to go to practise maths. Find your topic and age group.
