Number of the Day
To get our brains warmed up before each maths lesson, we complete the daily number challenge. In class, children usually complete this work on a whiteboard with the questions displayed on the board. Attached is a printable worksheet for you to use at home or just have a go at drawing it on paper. Simply choose a two-digit number and challenge your child to complete the mild, hot and spicy questions!

Good morning, Year 3.
This week's recap is once again nice and straight-forward. I think that you can probably do it without much input from me. It's a refresh of the eight times tables.
I've attached a couple of things that might help you to count in multiples of 8 (and 80, 800), so it might be a good idea to start by counting up and down with those.
The first worksheet is a Fact Family practice. The other sheets include a word search and some multiple wheels.
* Super Challenge *
We would like you to create, direct and star in your own maths video!

- write down and practise what you are going to say
- SMILE for the camera
- (send us your video if you can!)
Take a look at Amber's videos over at Maths 4 Kids if you need some inspiration.

You can use the worksheet below to help you answer the questions in the video or just do your working on a piece of paper or in a book like Miss Morecroft did.
1. Work through the problems in the video.
2. Try today's challenges (below)
3. Keep a diary of the activities you do today including what time they start, how long they last for and what time they finish. You can upload a photo of your homemade clock as well as telling us about your day by clicking here.

For extra practise, you could use your homemade clock to play a game of 'Stop the Clock'.
Start at 6 o'clock.
Take it in turns to roll a dice and move the minute hand forwards...
1 = 5 minutes 2 = 10 minutes 3 = 5 minutes
4 = 15 minutes 5 = 20 minutes 6 = 10 minutes
The winner is the first person to get to 12 o'clock.
You could also play the telling the time game which we used in class.

Just a reminder, today was the last day of the Spring 2 half-term so the daily lessons will pause over the Easter period. We'll be back with more daily Maths for you on Tuesday 14th April. Until then, keep practising what we've done so far, explore the other activites that we've sign-posted you towards and keep an eye out for some posts in our wider curriculum home learning sections.
