BATTLE OF THE BANDS

There will be a short competition between 4C, 4G and 4M

on TT Rockstars

2.15 - 3.15 pm Friday 5th March

This marks the last hour of the normal school day,

as we end online learning

and get ready to see each other again on Monday.

Try to log in then and help your class ...

Shape

This week we will be working on 'shape'.  We will learn about different types of triangles, find out what a quadrilateral is and find lines of symmetry in different shapes.

Click on today's date to access

the work.

Time

This week we are going to work on time.

We will begin with a recap of telling the time and we will end with telling the time in analogue and digital.

Click on today's date to access

the work.

Data Handling

This week we going to work on data handling. 

What is data handling?  Data handling is when you gather, record and present information and data in graphs, charts or tables.  We will practise solving problems using the information presented in different types of charts, pictograms and tables.

Click on today's date below, to

access the work.

Today we will be looking at data presented in pictograms.

Before we begin, can you remember how to tally? Tally marks are a quick way of keeping track of numbers in groups of five.  You might need to know this for the data handling. 

This is an example of a tally chart.                                                                                                                        

Listen to the video below then answer the questions on the worksheet.  The answers are provided for you.

Fractions

Equivalent Fractions – part 1

Can you remember what equivalent means?  It means of an ‘equal amount’ or ‘the same value’.

  For example:  3 + 1 is equivalent to   2 + 2  because they both equal 4.

Watch the video below to find out more about equivalent fractions, then answer the questions on the worksheet.  The answers are provided for you to check your answers after you have completed the work.

While watching the video, see if you can spot a pattern to help you find equivalent fractions.

  For example:

Watch the video below to find out more about counting in tenths, then answer the questions on the worksheet.  The answers are provided for you to check your answers after you have completed the work.

Tuesday 2nd February

What is a fraction?

Can you explain what a denominator is?  Can you explain what a numerator is?

A denominator is …

A numerator is …

Watch the video below to find out more about what a fraction is, then answer the questions on the worksheet.  The answers are provided for you to check your answers after you have completed the work.

Monday 1st February

 There will be some new words for you to understand.

Denominator

A denominator is the number at the bottom.  It tells us how many equal parts altogether.

Numerator

A numerator is the number at the top.  It tells us how many parts we are looking at.

Unit fraction

A unit fraction is when the numerator is one e.g. ¼.

Unit fraction

A non unit fraction is when the numerator is more than one e.g. ¾.

Watch the video below to learn more about fractions, then answer the questions on the worksheet.  The answers are provided for you to check your answers after you have completed the work.

Monday 25th January

This week we are going to learn an important skill

which will teach us how to solve

division problems in Year 4.

Work through this video

and see how many of the six steps

you can teach to someone in your family.

Which of these divisions can you do now?

Please send us your answers.

Easier:     65 divided by 5

Medium:    126 divided by 3

Harder:   377 divided by 13

Area

This week we are going to learn how to calculate the area of a 2D shape.  The area is the amount of space inside a shape.

Friday 22nd January

No video to watch today Year 4.  We are going straight to measuring area.  If you can’t remember how to calculate the area, you can always watch yesterdays video again. 

REMEMBER:  The measurement of area is measured in squares, so we write cm² after

                the answer.  E.g. 12cm²

After that, you have 8 revision multiplication questions using the grid method, which will gradually get more difficult.  If you can’t remember how to use the grid method, scroll down to last week’s work.  As usual, the answers will be provided for you to check your answers after.

You can also use TTRS to practice your times tables and play Hit The Button.

Grid method questions

Thursday 21st January

Today we will be comparing areas.  Can you remember the symbol that we can use to compare?

Do these symbols look familiar?  < and >

     <  less than         >  more than/greater than

You will be using these symbols to answer some of today's questions. 

Watch the video below.  This will show you how to compare the area of shapes.  The second half of the video will show you how to order the shapes according to the area and finding the difference between the smallest and largest area.

Can you remember how to find the difference?  To find the difference, we subtract the smaller number from the larger number.   E.g. What is the difference between  4 and 9?

To find the answer we would subtract.  So 9 - 4 = 5.  The difference is 5.

If you want to practice finding the difference, click on the word document.  The answers are provided for you.

Wednesday 20th January

Today we are focussing on how to make different shapes with the same area.  You will come across the word RECTILINEAR which means 'moving to make straight line'.  Listen to the video and pause at 3:55 to answer questions 1 to 4.  The second part demonstrates how to change a shape to make it a square.  Pause the video at 4:55 to answer questions 5 to 8.  The remaining part of the video explains how to make rectilinear shapes, then answer the last question.

Tuesday 19th January

Today we are going to continuing with finding the area by counting squares.  Listen to the next set of explanations and instructions on the video below.  Pause the video at 4:20 minutes then answer questions 1 to 4.  The second half of the video show you another method of calulating the area.  After watching the second part, answer questions 5 to 8. 

Are you ready Year 4? 

 Have a go at this emoji code breaker.

Each image represents a number.

For example:

                               2  1   +    2  2  = 43

Monday 18th January

This week we are going to learn how to calculate the area of a 2D shape.  The area is the amount of space inside a shape.

Watch the video below.  It will help you to understand what area is.  After you have watched the video, click on the word document to access the worksheet.  One of the worksheets is easier.  The answers are provided for you to check your answers after you have completed the worksheet.
