Ms O’Shaughnessy’s Maths group:  

Hi girls, I hope you all had a lovely weekend. Here is the last batch of work from me, remember, only do what you can! Well done girls on all your hard work over the last 3 ½  months, it is not easy to work from home and you have been super hard workers! We’re all very proud of you. 

  

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:You have done really well revising your Tables over the past 3 months. I posted a Table Revision activity on Seesaw last week and I’ll post another one this week, so you can test yourselves. Why not leave me a little voice recording on Seesaw telling me what the hardest Table was and why? I’d love to hear from you.
2. Last week of fun with cards: Risk Taker!

 This is a game for 2-3 players. You do not remove the Jacks, Queens and Kings this time. If you do not have a pack of cards, you could always write out the numbers on squares of paper (you would have 52 numbers, 4 of each). A Jack =11, Queen=12). You also need a pencil and paper for adding and recording the points. A calculator/ Hundred Square may be helpful 

How to play:  

1. The aim is to score as many points as possible 
2. The cards are shuffled and the first player turns over the first card. She or he may continue to turn cards over, scoring points according to the value of the cards. The player may decide to stop at any given point and they then keep the points for that round. If, however, an Ace or a King is turned over, the player loses all of his/ her points accumulated for that particular turn and it is the other person’s go. 
3. Ex: 7+3+J+2= 23. This player has turned over 4 cards and scored 23 (Jack=11). She may decide to stop here and then she keeps 23 points from this round, or she may continue turning over cards. If she turns over an Ace or a King in this round, she will lose all her points from this round and the next player takes his/her turn. 
4. The first player to reach 100 points wins the game! 
    

 

3. Problem-Solving/ Practice:

Monday: What numbers come next in this sequence: 100, 98, 94, 88, _____, _____, ___, ___, ____. 

Tuesday: What is 2/5 of 500? 

Wednesday: 1 litre and 250ml = how many ml? 

Thursday: 1/6 of Matthew’s money is €14. How much money does he have altogether? 

Friday: (62-27) +9= 

Monday 29th June: What numbers come next in this sequence: 620, 611, 602, ____, ___, ___, ___, ___. 

Tuesday 30th June: I thought of a number. I multiplied it by 7 and my answer was 175. What number did I think of? 

Look out for an extra challenge on Seesaw!
