Maths The theme this week is… doubling and halving.

Phonics

Monday Learning Objectives: To write a list of what you might take to the seaside. Read the Poem “Packing for the seaside”. Imagine you are taking a trip to the seaside. Draw a mini suitcase/bag of beach objects- eg. Towel, hat, sun cream, bucket, spade, kite, swimming costume. Write a list of things you would like to take to the seaside. Challenge Think about the words that rhyme in the poem. Can you think of words that rhyme- words that have the same phoneme at the end e.g spade-sunshade. Ball – wall.

Learning Objective: To double numbers to 10 Vocabulary: double, twice, 2 lots of. 1. Start with the song ‘Doubles! Doubles!’ on YouTube

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jOzhiACB68 2. Practise doubling with hands (to double 0-5): show me 3, now double it (child

shows another 3, counts together – it’s six). Then count doubling using your partner’s hands to practise doubling 0-10.

3. Practise doubling as repeated addition. Use two dice, roll them, write it as a number sentence, describe double or not e.g.

2+2=4 double 3+5=8 not double If you don’t have a dice, you can use the online dice here: https://www.curriculumbits.com/prodimages/details/maths/doubledice.html 4. Play Double Decker School Bus Ride game from our resources. Throw a dice,

count as many steps, solve the doubling as repeated addition number problem. If you can’t solve the number problem, go back to your previous position.

Home Learning – The Seaside

Week beginning 06.07.20

Please note: You can do these lessons at any time or in any order to suit you and your schedule - this is just a guide. Don’t worry if you are unable to do everything we set - we will catch

up when the children return to school. Also, don’t feel that your child should spend all day long on these lessons, like they would at school! A couple of hours every day of high quality

learning time is much better! Take regular brain breaks or do a bit of physical activity in between tasks so that your child maintains their concentration.

Draw a picture of a seaside scene. Label all the things you have included. Once you have drawn and labelled your picture write 4 sentences to describe your picture. Remember to include the following in your sentences: - Capital letters and full stops. - Adjectives (describing words) to describe what you can see at the seaside e.g. smooth, glistening, rough. - Use a conjunction e.g. and, because, but, so. Think about: What can you see at the beach? What might you be able to smell or see? How would the sand feel on your feet? What might you eat at the beach? For example: At the seaside you can see the glistening, blue water and feel the hot, rough sand on your feet. Seagulls are cheekily fighting over left-over cold, fish and chips. You can feel the cool breeze on your cheek and eat delicious chocolate ice cream. Yummy! Use the ‘seaside word mat’ to help which can be found on the school website: https://www.hhin.org/index.php/year-1-weekly-curriculum-newsletter/

in two colours (e.g. two different types of pasta). Throw two dice – is it a double? If it’s not, you lose your turn. If it is – how many altogether? E.g. 2+2=4, it’s 4 so you need to cover number four on the mat using your counter. Carry on till all numbers are covered – who covered more numbers is a winner.

2. Get your number cards and small counters. Start with number cards 0-5, then move to numbers 0-10. Pick a card with a number, double the number, show it as an addition number sentence, e.g. 5+5=10. If you struggle to do it mentally, help yourself with counting as many counters. Challenge: number cards 0-20. Do you know any doubles of big numbers? Double 50? Double 100? Double 200? Double 1000?

3. Solve doubling word number problems from our resources. Challenge! Can you write your own doubling word problems?

Practise doubling with the Function Machine http://www.crickweb.co.uk/ks1numeracy.html

Handwriting patterns: Practise writing all your lower case letters and all your capital letters.

Wednesday Learning Objectives: To create a beach safety poster. Read the PowerPoint “Sun, Sea and Beach Safety” which can be found on the school website: https://www.hhin.org/index.

Learning Objective: To find halves of shapes. Vocabulary: half of, halve, sharing, equal, ½.2D shapes. You will need: paper, pencil, scissors, objects from your home to draw around them to draw shapes.

1. Recall 2D shapes with 2D shapes song on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTeqUejf3D0

2. Today we will be finding halves of 2D shapes.

Wednesday phonics lesson on YouTube “Letters and sounds for home and school” at 10:30am/ 11.00am. Play the game “Poop Deck Pirates”.

3

php/year-1-weekly-curriculum-newsletter/ Think about ways to keep safe from the sun, from sea creatures and how to keep safe when in the sea. Challenge - Can you include adjectives on your poster? You could also have a go at creating the poster on the computer- you might like to use Paint or Microsoft Word.

Mario splits the pizza

into two equal parts.

Each part is a fraction.

We call these parts halves.

It is important that they are

equal.

Look around your house, what could you use to draw simple 2D shapes: circles, squares, rectangles, ovals – maybe you can draw around the cup to draw a circle? Or around the wooden block to draw a rectangle? Draw as many shapes as you can of different sizes, cut them out. Have a go at folding them in half – remember you need to do it very carefully making sure you align the edges! Colour in one half of each shape. QUESTIONS TO ASK YOUR CHILD Is this rectangle folded exactly in half? How do you know? How can we check? What shapes are the halves? Has anyone folded the rectangle a different way? How is it different? What shapes are the halves?

3. You can use our worksheets to practise halving shapes. 4. Enjoy this game while you are practising halving shapes.

How to play: 1. Choose two sounds which

you have learnt from Phase 2, 3, 4, or 5.

2. The pirate will throw a coin to you. If it's a real word you need to keep it (press the tick).

3. If it's not a real word you need to drop it in the water (press the cross).

You can find the game on the following website: https://www.ictgames.com/ Click on Literacy, then scroll down towards the middle of the page to find the game. You can find lots of other fun games on this website.

Thursday Learning Objective: To write a riddle about the seaside. Read the PowerPoint “Beach Riddles”. You can find this here on the school website:

Learning Objective: To find half of the number by sharing. Vocabulary: half of, halve, sharing, equal, ½.2D shapes. You will need: many small objects, number cards 0-20 (start with 0-10 if you find it difficult), halving mat.

1. Start with playing the Scarecrow game (the same you played on Tuesday).

Thursday phonics lesson on YouTube “Letters and sounds for home and school” at 10:30am/ 11.00am.

https://www.hhin.org/index.php/year-1-weekly-curriculum-newsletter/ Can you read the clues and work out which beach object it is? Have a go at creating your own riddle! Remember to include adjectives and start with different sentence starters. Use the ‘Seaside word mat’ to help which can be found on the school website: https://www.hhin.org/index.php/year-1-weekly-curriculum-newsletter/

In this game you double the numbers, but did you notice those numbers are two halves of the number you have altogether? Double 2 is 4 because 2+2=4, so halve of 4 is 2. Keep discussing while playing.

2. We will use halving mat to share objects to find two halves of the number. Pick a number and as many objects, use halving mat to share them and record results: half of… is… Remember to check if both groups are the same after you shared them! Can you share objects equally for all the numbers? Why not? Discuss: odd number, even number. For odd numbers you would need to cut one object in half.

3. Look at our worksheets to practise colouring halve of the objects when you can’t move them.

Challenge! Have a go at halving the bar of chocolate in different ways! 4. Solve word problems in our resources.

Challenge! Can you write your own halving numbers words problems?

Friday Spend some time today catching up on any work or revisiting any tricky concepts. Or you can try out one of the fun “Wider Curriculum” activities below!

Learning Objective: To find half of the number. Vocabulary: half of, halve, sharing, equal, ½.2D shapes.

1. Play a quick game with your family members to see how confident you are in halving numbers. One person asks ‘What is half of..’ –see who can answer faster! Start with numbers 0-10 and move to bigger numbers when you are confident.

2. Practise halving by sharing like yesterday, use halving mat if you still need

it.

3. Look at our worksheets to practise halving objects you can’t move.

4. Keep practising halving to 20 till you are very quick to recall the answer
