Task 4 - Finding tenths.

To find one tenth of a number you need to divide the number by 10. Watch this video up until 1 minute50 explaining how to divide a number by 10. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPMnbH2M0io&t=1s

Remember - when you divide a number by 10, the number gets 10 times smaller. On a place value chart the numbers move 1 space to the right.

1 of 40 = 10

1 of 80 = 10

1 of 90 = 10

1 of 120 = 10

1 of 160 = 10

1 of 250 = 10

1 of 380 = 10

1 of 420 = 10

Please remember to draw a place value chart to help you

Abbie is finding 1 of 10 140. She thinks the answer is 40. Is she correct?

Explain your answer using a place value grid.

Explain how to find 1 of 280 10using a place value chart.

Y3 maths this week

We would like you to complete this weeks set MyMaths task. It is so important that you continue to practise your times tables so

please remember to use Times Table Rockstars and Hit the Button.

Here is the link to week 4 of the Maths Code Hub multiplicative fluency learning.

This week you will be exploring the numbers 18 and 28 and look at their number facts

http://www.codemathshub.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Y3-CODE-Fluency-Week-4-Understanding-18-and-28.pdf

Task 5

STAR learning 1

We would like you to answer the following question to begin this weeks STAR learning:

What do we need to do to keep healthy?

You may want to bullet point your ideas or use a spider diagram.

Eating a balanced diet is important to keep healthy. Do you think pirates were healthy? What did they eat? Have a look at the

following website to help answer the above questions.

https://www.pirateshipvallarta.com/blog/pirate-stories/what-did-pirates-eat-and-drink

Have a look at the eatwell plate on the next slide and explore the

different food groups.

Using the eatwell plate, we would like you to plan a nutritional meal

for pirates on a ship.

Think carefully though. Remember some foods wouldn’t have lasted long on a pirate ship. You may choose to plan a meal for the first night on a pirate ship and a meal for the last night (3

months later).

STAR learning 2

Not eating enough nutritional foods made pirates sick. They could potentially get scurvy if they did not get enough vitamin C. This was a common disease. If people had scurvy they may

have had the following symptoms:

● Teeth may loosen or fall out

● Bleeding from the gums, mouth or nose

● Spots on skin● Painful joints

For this task we would like you to research the following foods to find out if they are a good source of vitamin C. You may choose to cut them out and sort them into 2 groups: good source of vitamin C and not a good source of vitamin C

Looking back at the meal you created yesterday, were the ingredients you used a

good source of vitamin C?

STAR learning 3

Teeth!

What do you already know about teeth?

We have different kinds of teeth and they each have a function. Click on the following links to learn more

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/z27kng8/articles/zsp76yc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5CPd1_r03s

We would like you to think of a way to share with us what you have learnt about the types of teeth and their functions.

You may choose to: ● Make a model of a mouth using modelling clay and label the

types of teeth, explaining their functions.● Draw your mouth● Make a model using paper● Make up a song

What do we do to keep our teeth clean and healthy?

Make a list of ideas. This will help with your writing

task.

Watch the following video and see if you can add to your list of ideas:

On the next page is a science investigation for you to have

a go at.

Science investigation If you have eggs at home have a go at this investigation. We are going to investigate the impact drinks have on our teeth. If we do not brush our teeth, acid from our drinks will build up and this can cause tooth decay. This is why it is so important to brush our teeth!

The eggshell protects the egg like enamel on our teeth protects the living part.

You will need: 4-6 eggs (depends on the amount of liquid you are testing)Screw top jarsMilk, vinegar, coffee, juice, fizzy drink (liquids to test)Toothpaste

1) Add an egg to each screw top jar. 2) Then add each liquid to a jar - making sure the egg is covered.

3) Leave the eggs for 2-3 days. You may choose to use 2 separate jars and test coffee twice. If so, coat 1 of the eggs

in toothpaste and see if you notice anything different between each egg.

Before you start your investigation remember to make a prediction. Over the 2-3 days keep observing the eggs and record any changes that you notice. After the 2-3 days take the eggs out and look for any changes. What has happened to the eggs? Remember to write a conclusion.

If you don’t want to complete the investigation but want to find out what happens. Watch the following video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTvuXomVXR4
