Suggested Activities 8th-12th June

Hi girls,  

I hope you enjoyed the virtual school tours last week. Even from our own homes we can learn so much about the world around us. We’ve now entered the month of June, our last month in 5th class! Just because we are working from home doesn’t mean we won’t have fun over the next few weeks. For this month I will include many fun activities as well as the regular class work. You’ve all been doing so well with working from home and uploading to Seesaw. Lets all try our best for these last few weeks too!

Primary > 5th class > Maths > Mathemagic> Mathemagic 5 > Online Book.  

Complete the chapter in your own time. Pages 121 – 126  

Pages 125 and 126 involve lots of problem solving. Find videos on Seesaw to help with there.  

Watch this introduction to the concept of area: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_uKKl8R1xBM 

 

Tips to remember:  

  • Area is always measured in squares. 
  • Area is the space inside a 2D shape  
  • Perimeter is the outside lines of the shape.  
  • Area of a rectangle or a square is found by multiplying length by width.  
  • Area of an irregular shape can be found when we split the shape into rectangles. Find the easiest way of splitting  the shape.  

 

Seesaw Art project: Draw a “Minecraft” selfie. You will need a sheet of squared paper (from your maths copy)  and your imagination.  

Post this selfie on Seesaw!

When you have completed your selfie find:  

  • The area of your self: 
  • The area of your hair: 
  • The area of one eye: 
  • The area of your jumper: 
  • The area in the background: 
  • The perimeter of your selfie: 
  • The perimeter of your mouth: 
  • The perimeter of one ear:

1.Write these times using am or pm 

Examples: ½ past 2 in afternoon = 2.30 pm ¼ to 4 in morning – 3.45 am 

  1. a) 3 o’clock in afternoon= 3.00p.m b) ¼ past 6 in morning= 6.15m
  2. c) ½ past 7 in evening = 7.30p.m d) 20 past 8 in morning= 8.20m
  3. d) 10 to 11 at night = 10.50mf)1/4 to 5 in afternoon= 4.45 p.m 

Digital watches and clocks often show time in 24 hour time. 

Examples: 2.15 am = 02.15 7.30 pm = 19.30 10.30 pm = 22.30 

(Remember to add 12 to pm times) 

2.Write these times using the 24 hour clock . 

  1. a) 6.15 pm =18:15 b) 8.30 am = 08:30 c) 4.45 pm = 16:45
  2. d) 1.20 pm =13:20 e) 11.05 pm =23:05 f) 6.10 am = 06:10

3.Write these times using am or pm 

Example: 09.40 = 9.40 am 20.10 = 8.10 pm 

  1. a) 07.20 = 7.20a.m b) 16.20 = 4.20mc) 22.30= 10.30p.m 
  2. e) 08.50 = 8.50me) 23.30 = 11.30 p.m f) 18.45=6.45p.m

Area 

Reminder: Area describes the size of a surface 

Large areas are measured in metres squared m2 

Small areas are measured in centimetres squared cm2 

To find the area of a rectangle multiply the length by the width ( L x W ) 

Example: Length of a rectangle = 6cm Width = 4 cm 

Area = 6cm x 4cm = 24 cm2 

Find the area of these rectangles: 

1) Length = 7cm, Width = 3cm . Area = 

2) Length = 8cm , width = 6 cm. Area = 

3) Length = 12cm, Width = 9 cm. Area= 

4) Length = 16cm. Width = 4 cm. Area = 

5) Length = 27cm. Width = 13cm. Area= 

6) Length = 34 m. Width = 7 m. Area = 

Area of a square 

Remember , in a square all four sides are the same , so length and width are equal. 

To find the area of a square multiply length ( side ) by width ( side) 

In a square where all 4 sides are 5 cm. Area is 5cm x 5cm = 25 cm2 

Find the area of these squares. 

1) Side = 9cm. Area = 

2) Side = 6 cm. Area = 

3) Side = 10 m. Area = 

4) Side = 3cm. Area = 

5) Side =8m. Area = 

6) Side = 4.5 cm. Area =

Writing to Socialise 

 

At the moment, we are relying on written communication to stay in touch with our loved ones.  

 

 

In all of our language we write to communicate with others. Whether we are writing a letter, an email, a text message , a seesaw post or a tweet, we are using our words to connect with others.  

 

Sometimes we recall events, sometimes we explain something, sometimes we try to persuade others of our point of view. This week you will need to combine other writing genres to complete these activities.  

 

Like our other genres we have a structure we should follow;  

Orientation: Provides a greeting. Explains reason for communication 

Body: The message 

Prompt: Asking questions/ asking for action to be taken/ asking for a reply 

Conclusion: Saying goodbye
