Mrs O’Connell’s Fourth Class: Ms O’Shaughnessy’s Group. 

 

Hi girls, I hope you are all keeping well. I can’t believe that we are half way through June already. I’d love to see or hear a little message from you on Seesaw letting me know how you are getting on.. 

 

Maths: 

This work is optional so only do it if you have time on your hands. If you can’t do any part of it, do not stress, just do your best!  

 

 

1. Table Challenges: This week your class are focusing on the
   ÷ 6 and ÷ 7 tables. Remember, one strategy for division is the “Think multiplication strategy”. So, if you know your multiplication tables, you will be able to do your division tables! Complete the following activities:

  

 

Monday: Skip counting: 6, 12, 18 etc. Count forwards and backwards. Play with a partner. Ask them to say a series of numbers but leave one out: Ex: 6, 12, _, 24 “Which one did they leave out? Exactly: 18”. Take it in turns to be “on”. 

 

Tuesday: Repeat above activities, skip counting in 7’s.  

  

Wednesday: What’s my table? Ask a partner to play with you. He or she chooses a number from the x6 tables. Ex: 44. You must give the multiplication and division table for this number. Ex: 6 x 4=24, 4 x6=24, 24 ÷ 6=4, 24 ÷4=6. 

  

Thursday: Repeat the above activities for the x7 tables. 

  

Friday: Write out the multiples for the x6 and x7 tables on pieces/ squares of paper. Place them face down on the table. Turn one over and say the corresponding table for that number: Ex: If you turn over 49, you can say 7 x 7=49, 49 ÷7=7 You could “race” each other, one of you turning over the multiples of 6 and the other turning over the multiples of 7. Have fun! 

  

2. More fun with cards: Highest Wins!

 You need: A pack of cards with the Jacks, Queens, Kings and Jokers removed. If you do not have a pack of cards, you could always write out the numbers on squares of paper (you would have 40 numbers, 4 of each, Ace-10, Ace=1). This is a game for 2 players. 

 

How to play:  

1. You can play this game with 2, 3 or 4 cards being dealt out each time, depending on the experience of the players. For players with little experience, two cards would be dealt to each player. 
2. Players are dealt 2/3 or 4 cards. They then arrange their cards to make the highest number they can. Ex: If dealt a 5 and a 2, you would make 52. If dealt a 2, 7, 9, you would make 972. 
3. The number is recorded and the cards returned to the pack. The same number of cards is dealt again and another largest number is made and added to the first number.  
4. The winner is the player who reaches 100, 1,000 etc first (you decide). 
5. The game can also be played in reverse by subtracting scores from a starter number (Ex: Start with 100), the winner being the first person to reach zero. 

 

Problem-Solving/ Practice:

Monday: What numbers come next in this sequence: 479, 484, 489, ___, _____, _____. 

Tuesday: What is ¾ of 400? 

Wednesday: 1 metre and 50 cm = how many cm? 

Thursday: 20 people got on the bus at the first stop. At the second stop, 5 people got off and 5 people got on. At the third stop, no-one got off but 3 people got on. How many people are on the bus now? 

Friday: Which number is the odd one out and why? 12, 24, 36, 42, 48. 

4. Look out for an extra challenge on Seesaw!
