Today you have a game to play on Nrich. Just click on the link below.
To play the game you need two dice, each of them with faces labelled from 1 to 6.
When the dice are rolled they can be combined in two different ways to make a number less than 10 with one decimal place.
For example, if I roll a 2 and a 3 I can combine them to make 2.3 or 3.2.
Now round each of these numbers to the nearest whole number: 2.3 rounds to 2 and 3.2 rounds to 3. Repeat for other rolls of the dice.
Do both of the numbers you make ever round to the same whole number?
If you don't have two dice, don't worry! Here is another link to some interactive dice.
Thursday 23rd April 2020
Solve the multiplication crossword that is saved below.
Tips:
If you answer a clue for 'Down' make sure you write the answer going down on the crossword.
If you answer a clue for 'Across' make sure you write the answer going across on the crossword.
Only put one digit in each box.
Don't write in the black boxes.
Look for the little numbers on the crossword because these link to the clue numbers. For example, if you answer '15 Down', then find the small 15 on the crossword. This is where you need to write your answer.
