Inspired by NCETM Maths Mastery documents - Zippy Onion sparks discussion on rounding, students are encouraged to record their reasoning on facts known, also includes a self-assessment grid.
Year 4 objective - To reason on rounding facts known.
I have included four per sheet for ease of photocopying.
This is a fun activity which encourages problem solving and mastery within place value, (plus a little bit of revision with co-ordinates too!) My class loved it.
Learning Objectives for this activity:
Y5 Learning objective - to multiply whole numbers by 10, 100 and 1000.
Y5 Learning objective – to determine the value of each digit in numbers up to 1 million.
Y5 Learning objective - to add whole numbers with more than four digits, including using formal written methods (columnar addition and subtraction).
Y4 Learning objective – describe positions on a 2-D grid as co-ordinates.
Inspired by the Year 5 Mastery documents, these maths trails practice basic addition and subtraction skills. Calculations are presented within parenthesis to begin to expose students to algebraic layouts in Year 5.
Four differentiated trails:
High ability (numbers to 10,000),
Medium ability (numbers into 1000`s),
Lower ability (numbers in the 100`s)
SEN (numbers up to 100)
