JOURNEY TO INFINITY AND BEYOND

This rocket can fly the same distance each day.

So on the first day if it travelled 2 space miles,the second day it will have travelled 4 miles.

How many space miles will it have travelled after 5 days and 10 days?

If the astronaut uses the Supersonic space rocket, it can fly twice as far as the day before.

So for example on the first day it might travel 2 space miles and on the second day it will travel 4 space miles and on the 3rd day 8 space miles.

How many space miles will it travel on the 5th and 7th day?

Can you show how you worked it out?

Which planet would you travel to?

Problem solving I can use maths to solve a problem. I can find a starting point and relevant information.

Communicating I can represent my work with objects and pictures. I can discuss my work. I can record my work. I can use mathematical language to discuss my work. I can represent my work with simple diagrams and symbols. I am beginning to describe strategies used.

Reasoning I can recognise a simple pattern. I can continue a pattern. I can explain why an answer is correct.

Level Three

I can describe strategies used I can review my work and ask questions

about it. I can discuss my work, explain my

thinking and use appropriate maths language.

I am beginning to recognise patterns / relationships to solve problems

I try different approaches to overcome difficulties when problem solving.
