Maths

 

Learning Intentions:

We are learning to use fact families to solve subtraction problems

We are learning to draw a picture graph

We are learning to interpret data

 

Tasks:

• Fluency Game:
  This game can be played with a partner or on your own.
  Print out or make your own Fact Family Flip and Find and then complete the equations.
  Cut along the dotted lines and shuffle the cards.
  Place the equations face down in 4 rows.
  
  Turn over 2 cards, one at a time.
  If the cards are a matching fact family, keep the cards.
  For example: 2 + 5 = 7 is the same as 7 - 5 = 2. 
  
  If they do not match, turn the cards back over.
  Keep playing until all cards are matched.
  (30 minutes)
         
  Challenge: Have a go at this Fact Family Find and Flip!
  
  
  
• Log on to ClickView and watch the video on Addition and Subtraction Fact Families and answer the questions found in the video.
  (30 minutes)
  
  
• Choose 5 fact family subtraction equations and write them in your homework book.
  For example:
  
  
  • 20 - 8 = 12
  • 20 - 12 = 8
  • 12 + 8 = 20
  • 8 + 12 = 20

(30 minutes)

 

• Challenge: Choose 3 digit numbers and create 5 of your own fact family equations.
  For example:
  
  
  • 310 - 150 = 160
  • 310 - 160 = 150
  • 160 + 150 = 310
  • 150 + 160 = 310

Success Criteria:

I can show the relationship between addition and subtraction by using fact family equations.

 

Please ask your parents to take a photo of your 5 fact family equations work and upload it the Sentral Parent Portal by Thursday 20 August.
