Hello Year 6! It’s Miss Stephens who will be planning your maths for this week!

We are going to be learning about measures!

Monday   08/02/21

First warm up! Try the flashback 4!

(Note we haven't covered algebra yet so don't worry if you are unsure about the questions with the letters in them)

As well you can always warm up with TT Rockstars!

Units of measurement

Remember tos:

I can explain what measures are.

I can explain that cm, mm, mm and km are used to measure length.

I can explain that kg, g and tonnes are used to measure mass.

I can explain that ml and l are used to measure liquids.

I can understand and explain when to use an appropriate measure.

I can reason and problem solve with measures.

Vocabulary

Measure

Lengths

Centimetres (cm)

Milometres (mm)

Kilometres (km)

Millilitres (ml)

Litres (l)

Kilograms (kg)

Grams (g)

Task 1 – fluency

 There are three different levels for you to have a go!

Task 2- reasoning and problem solving 

Now that you have mastered measures, let’s try to really challenge you mathematicians.

Your turn: Pick a level that works for you. Try to challenge yourselves at home.

Maths quiz

Thank you RB, AT, AG, IS, PS, DB, EL, EW, KB, OS, EV, JB, JA, KP, HC, HH, AS and JS for completing the quiz! I gave feedback so hopefully you're tabs are still open to see it. Or, you can always do another.

Converting metric measures

Remember tos:

I can understand when to convert measures.  

I can use my knowledge of multiplying and dividing by powers of 10.  ( 10, 100 and 1000)

I can understand that when converting from a smaller unit to a larger unit to multiply.

I can understand that when converting from a larger unit to a smaller unit to divide.

 I can reason and problem solve with converting measures.

Vocabulary

Measure

Lengths

Centimetres (cm)

Milometres (mm)

Kilometres (km)

Millilitres (ml)

Litres (l)

Kilograms (kg)

Grams (g)

Watch the video below for an introduction to the metric system. A little recap for some!

The following three videos will show you how to convert lengths, mass and capacity (liquids).

Task 1 – fluency

Your turn! There are three different levels for you to have a go!

Task 2- reasoning and problem solving 

Now that you have mastered converting metric measures, let’s try to really challenge you mathematicians.

Your turn: Pick a level that works for you. Try to challenge yourselves at home.

Tuesday maths quiz

Thank you PS, AT, RB,RW, EW, DB, JS, EM, AS and  KP for completing the quiz so far! I have responded with feedback for you all! But glad to see most of you are finding it easy!

Note: You do not have to print the work out. If it is easier at home you can just do the calculations on a piece of paper or on the word document and send them back to me! No worries!

Task 2- reasoning and problem solving 

Now that you have done some calculations, let’s try to really challenge you mathematicians.

Your turn: Pick a level that works for you. Try to challenge yourselves at home.

NOTE: If anyone is struggling with multiplying and dividing by 10 ,100 or 1000 or just needs a recap look at the first week on the blog and I have made some videos. 

I will put them below for you too.

Wednesday maths quiz

Thank you AT, PS, KP, IS, HC and EW for completing the quiz. I have replied back.

Converting miles and kilometres

Remember tos:

I can understand that miles are larger than kilometres.

I can explain that there is 5 miles to approximately equal to 8 kilometres.

I can explain that there is 10 miles approximately equal to 16 kilometres.

I can use multiplication and division to convert between the two.

I can reason and problem solve with converting miles and kilometres.

Vocabulary

Measure

Convert

Approximately equal to

Kilometres (km)

Miles (m)

Watch the video below of Miss Stephens:

Task 1 – fluency

Your turn! There are three different levels for you to have a go!

Task 2- reasoning and problem solving 

Now that you have mastered converting backwards and forwards with miles to kilometres, let’s try to really challenge you mathematicians.

Your turn: Pick a level that works for you. Try to challenge yourselves at home.

Thursday quiz 

Thanks AT, PS, RB, DB, JS, SA, HH, RW, IS, HC and EW for completing the quiz so far. I'm glad to see some of you finding it easy! Great answers on the quiz too!

12.02.21   - Friday

Happy Friday!! One more day until a well deserved half term break!

First warm up! Try the flashback 4!

Imperial measures

Remember tos:

I can multiply and divide by 12 when converting feet and inches.

I can multiply and divide by 8 when converting gallons and pints.

I can multiply and divide by 16 when converting pounds and ounces.

I can multiply and divide by 14 when converting between stones and pounds. 

I can multiply and divide by 2.5 when converting between inches and cenitmeters. 

I can reason and problem solve with imperial measures.

Vocabulary

Measure

Convert

Approximately equal to

Kilometres (km)

Miles (m)

Inches

Feet

gallons

pints 

pounds 

ounces 

Watch the videos below: 

NOTE: That for lengths we just need to know about inches and feet.  Ignore the bits about yards and miles. 

NOTE: That for the mass (weight) video we need to know about ounces, pounds and stones. You can ignore the bit about tonnes. 

Task 1 – fluency

Your turn! There are three different levels for you to have a go!

Task 2- reasoning and problem solving 

Now that you have mastered converting imperial measures, let’s try to really challenge you mathematicians.

Your turn: Pick a level that works for you. Try to challenge yourselves at home.  

Today, level 3 is quite challenging. 

Friday quiz

Thanks RB, AT, PS, EW, KP, TS, IS, HH, JB, JA, and RW for completing the quiz.  I have replied back you. If you didn't see my reply please submit another quiz and I will be happy to help.
