The focus this week is on RENAMING FOR SUBTRACTION using tens
and units. Sometimes the children will have to do straight forward
subtraction and sometimes they will be doing subtraction with RENAMING. There
is also a problem to solve every day. Just get some paper and a pencil to
work them out. Have fun!!

Problem of

12 boys were on a bouncy castle, 7 girls
got on and then 3 more boys got on. How many children were on the bouncy
castle altogether?

Tens
and Units work: Watch the new tens and units video and have
a go. Here Ms. Gallagher is doing RENAMING FOR TAKE AWAY SUMS. Try this
RENAMING where you take a ten from
the tens side and change it back into
units to make your units side bigger on the top!
For example – Rename 45 for a take away sum:
Now try to rename these numbers for a take away sum. Use
paper and a pencil and if you want you can use some little tens and units
like raisins or whatever you have at home too.

Readers
Theatre:
This is a strategy that combines reading practice and
performing. Its goal is to enhance students' reading skills and confidence by
having them practice reading with a purpose. Reader's theatre gives students
a real reason to read aloud. Choose a book at home, set up a special
area/ chair for the child to sit on and give them an audience while they
read! Even one listener is enough as long as you give the child lots of
praise and encouragement.
•
Handwriting – Just Handwriting, complete the
next one or two available pages, depending on speed of writing.
•
Remember, posture and pencil grip are really
important when completing handwriting: chair in, feet down, back straight,
don't frown! Pencil grip: froggy legs.
•
When you've completed the page(s) use a
crayon to highlight your best work. (Self-assessment)

Problem
of the day:
How many arms and legs do 2 boys, 3
elephants, 1 snake and 2 gjrls have?
(take your time to think about this – do
they all have arms and legs? Maybe something only has legs! A picture will
help if you’re stuck)
-
Tens
and Units work:
Same as yesterday – rename these numbers
for a take away sum by borrowing a ten to change back into units and make
your units number bigger!

Problem
of the day:
Look at a calendar. How many Tuesdays will there be in October 2020? How many Saturdays will there be? What day of the week will Halloween (October 31st) be?
-
Tens
and Units work:
Try these take away sums. Some might be easy sums with a bigger units
number on the top. Some might have a smaller units number on the top and then
you will have to do RENAMING. Try your best. This rhyme might help: More on the top, no need to stop! (when the units number on the top is bigger)
More on the floor, go next door!(when the units number on the top is smaller – go
next door to the tens and borrow a ten)

Have you been enjoying the beautiful weather this
week? The summer season brings warm and sunny weather. This week could you
draw or paint a picture of summer or maybe you could make a summer collage!
Start with brainstorming what summer looks like.
Let’s get started…close your eyes, what pops into your head when you think of
summer? Use all your senses to help you! What do you see? What do you hear?
What do you smell? What do you taste? What do you touch?
Hints: Birds singing, the smell of flowers
blooming, a bumble bee visiting a flower, green leaves on trees, baby birds
learning to fly, farmers making hay, baby animals are born, wearing clothes
like shorts and a t-shirt, spending more time outdoors than indoors, eating
ice-cream…can you think of anything else?
Maybe you have a memory of a time you were on
holidays or you went to the beach and played in the sand and dipped your toes
in the sea!
