Tuesday's CLIC

2 Step problems

Today in maths we will continue with word problems but these now include 2 step problems. This means you need to be even more careful when reading the problem and decide if you need to add and then take away or take away and then add. Best wishes folks and please have a go at these forms.

Monday the 8th of June 2020: CLIC work

Activity 1: 10 -1000 Challenge!

After seeing my attempt at this maths challenge, please try it yourself and post times and pictures of your work on this form. Best of luck everyone!  (Hopefully it will let your adult have enough time to make a cup of tea!)

Add or Subtract?

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

Activity 2: + - word problems

 

Today we are going to use our addition and subtraction skills practised over the last month to answer these word problems. First you need to identify if you need to add or take away. Many times if the question includes the words "altogether" or "total" the operation we need to use is to add. If the question includes the word "more", "difference" or "less", the operation is subtraction. However, it is not always the case! Please read and re-read questions carefully and perhaps draw the question to think about what you need to do. Best of luck everyone.

Amazing length work here on my garden items from RW - well done, you had a go at both sets of questions, you are working hard!

CLIC sheets: You can take as much time as you like and use written and pictoral methods. Also if you have made maths manipulatives like numicon use those to check. Please choose the correct level and try to beat last week's score.

 

Today is the last day of the half term so we will not be adding any work to the blog until Monday 1st of June. You will still be able to have a go at the tasks we have already set if you want to catch up with any you have missed – like Mrs Chetcuti's lovely stories on the Literacy section and the Stay Active page.

Enjoy the sun and daily outdoor time. Exercise and fresh air is really good for your body and mind but just remember to social distance to keep yourselves safe.

 

Maybe you could look out for any wildlife you can spot while you’re out and about? Blue bells are now blooming in Sheffield and are a wonderful sight. I saw some lamas and a horse a few days ago on a walk and I know BJ has been in the rivers spotting incredible wildlife too!

 

Take care and bye for now – but we will be back soon with some more action packed learning for you!

Stay safe and continue to try to be golden citizens in your home,

Best wishes, The Year 2 Team

Data Handling games!

Thursday the 21st of May 2020

 

Morning all! I hope you are all enjoying the sun and looking after your families. In today's data handling lesson you will see me showing you how to solve two games. Both use data handling skills but have them in levels called statistics. The second game is called, "Guardians: Defenders of Mathematica" . It is a super game which is aimed at Key Stage 2 children however, I think you have the data handling skills to succeed! Below are the links for both. Also some the of the questions are in the google forms as well.

Data handling 18.5.20

This week we will look at data handling. We will need our organisational, creative, multiplication, addition and subtraction skills so get ready! There are a number of activities to do including a Danger Mouse challenge so make sure you read to the end of today's blog! Please watch this video below which shows a boy collecting data on the amount of goals he has scored in a week and then presenting it as a bar chart.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p017ktx1

Now please watch my video where I show some key skills to designing and creating a bar graph (Also know as a bar chart). The key is to make sure you start at zero on the y axis and that you decide what the scale of the bar graph will be. If you are dealing with low numbers, each integer  (the lines on the scale) can be in 1s. However if you are dealing with large numbers your scale may need to be in 5s, 10s or 100s!

Please try these Google forms for Data Handling

 

Danger Mouse Data Handling! Monday

Today's challenge!

 

Please play super movers Danger mouse level 1 and 2 to help with your fitness. Then make 2 tally charts (1 for each level) and note how many times you need to duck, jump, dodge right, dodge left and strike a pose. Make a bar graph for level 1 and another for level 2. You could draw one, build it out of lego or make it on the computer.  You will need to think what scale your bar graphs will be. Then compare the bar graph. How many more times do you need to duck in level 2 compared to level 1? How many times do you need to dodge left and right in level 1? Also please make your own questions and answer them!

 

Here is the link to this brilliant and healthy PE game:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/supermovers/just-for-fun-danger-mouse-l1/z6mcpg8

Now please do your own data handling investigations. You could collect and make a bar chart on the different types of toys you have, or ask and call friends and family to find out what their favourite animals are or think of your own brilliant idea!

Here are some examples

Wednesday the 6th of May 2020

 

Hello on this glorious Wednesday Y2s!!

Here is our CLIC for today. Have your pencils and paper ready!

Today we will be looking at angles. Angles can be used to measure turn. We measure angles in degrees(°). A quarter turn is 90°, a half turn is 180°, a three quarter turn is 270° and a full turn is 360°. Can you jump in the air and spin 360°? Here is my daughter’s attempt!

Angle spins!

6th May 2020

Understanding angles

Angles are useful for 2D shapes because we can measure their corners (vertices). All squares and rectangles have 90 degree vertices. This is called a right angle. We have made some right angle checkers. Could you make some by cutting out the corner of a square or rectangle 2D face and check different items in your house?

Here is the super-soaker game where you need your angle skills to drench various people and things!:

What 2D shapes can you spot? Once you have completed these games please draw your own picture with 2D shapes hidden in it! Please put them on today's google form!

Please look at these famous buildings. What 2D shapes do you see on the faces of these structures?

Here is an irregular 2D polygon shape challenge. Can you make your own one afterwards? Remember a pentagon has five sides.

Today I would like you to try these awesome games to test and revise your knowledge of 2D polygon shapes which are regular (all the sides and angles are the same length) and irregular (sides and angles are different).

Thursday 30th April

 

Hi there! We start with CLIC again, so please watch this video and try to complete the activities alongside me. https://youtu.be/mkdW-jrSFfg

 

Here is the Happy Burger game to practice your times tables: https://www.timestables.co.uk/happy-burger.html

 

Multiplication - arrays

 

Today we'll be doing some multiplication with the 5, 10 and 3 x tables.

 

First, please watch this video which explains arrays. Have a go at the tasks on there too!

 

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zqbg87h/articles/z3tvcj6

 

If you have any lego, playing cards, or even smarties/skittles they will be useful for making arrays. (Essentially you need lots of the same thing!) Or you can draw them if can't find anything. 

 

Now please watch this video, which explains and models the task: https://youtu.be/jGSNzQyDfZ8 - I apologise, it's a bit slow. I think my computer was struggling a bit while filming!

 

Once you have watched, please have a go at making or drawing your own arrays to answer the following:

 

Whales and Mice: 5 x 3 = ?    2 x 5 = ?   10 x 2 = ?    4 x 5 = ?     5 x 5 = ?     3 x 10 = ?

Try to tell your grown up, or write down a number story for two of your arrays.

 

Stickmen, Owls and Snakes: 5 x 5 = ?     3 x 10 = ?    6 x 5 = ?     3 x 10 = ?       4 x 3 = ?   

3 x 8 = ?      7 x 3 = ?

Try to tell your grown up, or write down a number story for three of your arrays.

 

Foxes and Nois:  6 x 5 = ?    4 x 3 = ?   3 x 8 = ?   7 x 3 = ?   3 x 9 = ?    11 x 3 = ?     

4 x 4 = ?     4 x 6 = ?

Try to tell your grown up, or write down a number story for four of your arrays.

 

An example of a number story for 5 x 7: There were 5 trees, with 7 monkeys in each tree. There were 35 monkeys altogether!

 

Finally, please discuss and try to answer these reasoning problems with your grown up and answer the Google Form below. We would love to read some of your number stories so please send them in using the form!
