Additional Support for the Homework

 

To work out 1/10, you need to divide the number by 10. So 1/10 of 240 is 24.

 

240 / 10 = 24

 

To work out 4 ½ x 10, you need to convert the number to a decimal.  1/2 as a decimal is 0.5 Therefore, the answer is 4 + 0.5 = 4.5

 

Once you have worked out 4.5, you multiply the number by 10. The decimal point does not move, but all the number move 1 place to the left when multiplying by 10 (2 when multiplying by 100).

 

Therefore, 4.5 x 10 = 45.

 

The next question involves balancing the equation. This means getting the same answer on both sides.

 

2 + 2 = ____ + 1

 

The answer is not 4, because the question wants you to balance the equation. Don't forget about the + 1.

 

The answer is 3. This is because 2 + 2 = 4 and 3 + 1 = 4.

 

If the question was 2 + 2 = ______ and there was no +1, then the answer would be 4.  Remember to read all questions very carefully.

 

 

To work out 3/4 of a number we need to work out 1/2 and 1/4.

 

If we needed to work out 3/4 of 40, then we would need to work out 1/2 and 1/4.

 

We can work out 1/4 by halving a number and halving it again.

1/2 of 40 is 20

1/2 of 20 = 10

Therefore, 1/4 of 40 = 10

 

To find 3/4, we add the answer for 1/2 and 1/4 together. 

 

Therefore, 3/4 of 40 = 20 (1/2) + 10 (1/4).

 

3/4 of 40 = 20 + 10

 

3/4 of 40 = 30.

 

 

You can also work out 3/4 of 40 by dividing by the bottom and multiplying by the top.

 

40 / 4 = 10

10 x 3 = 30

 

3/4 of 40 = 30

 

 

Percentages, Decimals and Fractions

 

1/10 = 0.1 (0.10) = 10%

1/4 = 0.25 = 25%

1/2 = 0.5 (0.50) = 50%

3/4 = 0.75 = 75%

 

 

Using the Inverse Operation

 

_______  /   10 =  14

 

If you have a question like this, you use the inverse operation to solve it.

 

At the moment, the question is something divided by 10 = 14.

 

Therefore, we need to multiply to find the answer.

 

We take the answer 14 and multiply is by 10.

 

14 x 10 = 140

 

Therefore, 140 / 10 = 14

 

140 is the answer because 140 divided by 10 = 14.

 

 

Reasoning Revision Questions

(Answers to be uploaded Monday).

 

 

Tracey the spider climbs to the top of the pipe after 4 attempts. The pipe is 28cm in length. She climbs ¼ of the way on the first attempt. She climbs ½ way on the second attempt. She climbs ¾ of the way on the third attempt.

 

1. How long was Tracey’s journey to the top of the pipe?

 

There are two characters. Every quarter of an hour the first character shouts twice. Every 20 minutes the second character barks.

 

1. In one hour, how many shouts are there?
2. In one hour, how many barks are there?
3. In ten hours, how many more shouts than barks are there?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Answers (Reasoning).

 

We need to approach the first problem by working backwards. We know that Tracey climbed 28cm on her final attempt.

 

On her third attempt, she climbed 3/4 of this. This means she climbed 21cm.

 

1/2 (14cm) + 1/4 (7cm) = 21cm

 

On her second attempt, she climbed 1/2 the distance. This means she climbed 14cm.

 

On her first attempt, she climbed 1/4 of the way up the pipe. This means she climbed 7cm.

 

Therefore, we add up each answer to find the total distance climbed.

 

E.g.

 

28cm + 21cm + 14cm + 7cm = 70cm  (The total distance climbed is 70cm).

 

 

Problem 2

 

2 shouts per 15 minutes. There are 60 minutes in an hour. Therefore, the first character shouts 8 times an hour.

 

1 bark per 20 minutes. 3 x 20 minutes = 60 minutes (1 hour). Therefore, the second character barks 3 times an hour.

 

 

To answer question 3, we need to multiply each answer by 10. This is because we have found out how many shouts and barks there are per hour.

 

8 shouts x 10 = 80 shouts.

3 barks x 10 = 30 barks.

 

80 - 30 = 50.  There are 50 more shouts than barks in 10 hours.

 

 

 

 

National Reading Test Revision

 

The level of difficulty can be adjusted (A,B or C). A text will be displayed and the children will be asked a number of questions related to what has been read. While some words may be unfamiliar, the resource provides the opportunity to skim and scan for information. I would suggest Level A. This resource links to BBC Skillswise site which is aimed toward adult learning. However, Level A can be used to support revision. This resource is to be used at your discretion.

Homework for all of Year 4 (18.03.17)

 

Year 4 Assembly (Please learn your parts).

 

 

Rhianna Bore da croeso i gwasanaeth blywyddyn pedwar. Thank you for joining us for our assembly.

 

Jack As we gather together let us make the sign of the cross. Yn enw tad ar mab y ysbryd glan amen.

 

Taha Jesus once said when people gather in my name I shall be there! As we light our candle, let us be reminded of Jesus’ presence.

 

Shreya What did you do before you came to school this morning? You didn’t just arrive at school as you are; you had to prepare for school.

 

                       Asin You got dressed, had your breakfast and then travelled to school.

 

Nick You had to ‘prepare’.

 

Nia Today we are thinking about Lent. Lent is a time when Christians remember a time of preparation that Jesus went through and a time when we can lend a hand to others.

 

Catherine In our religion lessons we have thought about different ways in which we can lend a hand to others.

 

A reading based on the Gospel of Matthew

 

Bonnie For 30 years Jesus had lived at home in Nazareth. At the age of 30, he knew that he was about to start his public work. He was about to start teaching people about God and doing many amazing miracles. He knew it would not be easy and that eventually it would lead to his death.
 

Nathan In preparation for this work, Jesus went off on his own into the desert for 40 days. For 40 days and nights he didn’t eat or drink anything and during this time he was tempted to do a number of things that he knew it was wrong to do.

 

Abraham Jesus didn’t give in to the temptations and didn’t do anything wrong. At the end of 40 days he left the desert and began the work he had come to earth to do. His time in the desert had prepared him for this work.

 

The Gospel of the Lord

 

Freya

Lent is the period of time that leads up to Easter; it begins on Ash Wednesday Lent lasts for 40 days. The length of time that Jesus spent in the desert preparing for his work.

 

Rachel For Christians, Easter is the most important time of the year as it is then that we remember the death and resurrection of Jesus.

 

Stephanie Because as Christians we want to ‘be prepared’ for the celebration of Easter ,we use Lent as a time to think more about God, go to mass and pray for others. In other words being prepared.

 

Savio It is hoped that during Lent we may focus our minds on God, and also help us to think of others who are not as fortunate as us.

 

Abigel As part of Lent, adults often give up something for 40 days. This is to remind them of the time when Jesus went without food in the desert.

 

Libby As children we focus on doing something good during Lent. For example, tidying our rooms and saying something encouraging to someone every day. By doing this we can lend a hand!

 

Time for reflection -

 

James We would like to leave you with one final thought. How can you lend a hand during Lent?
