Home Learning Topic Task Time capsule

This week you are going to make your own time capsule to document this historic period in time.

Numeracy Literacy Topic

A few weeks ago you learnt about adding &

subtracting fractions. In todays lesson we will be

focussing on multiplying fractions.

As a simple example:

1/3 x 1/5 = 1/15

This is because you multiply the top numbers

(numerators) together and the bottom numbers

(denominators) together

e.g 2/5 x 3/5 = 6/25

The link below gives you some more examples:

Once you understand this concept have a go at the

activities on the same website – if you can’t find

them then use the links below:

Today, begin to think about the things you’ve done

during lockdown. You may have:

Celebrated a birthday

Celebrated Eid

Started to play a new game with your family

Started a new book.

Started to exercise in a different way

You could include:

Newpaper articles

Things you’ve made during lockdown

Pictures you’ve drawn To make a time capsule you need something that is strong and has a lid. Here are some ideas of things you could use at home.

Numeracy Literacy Topic

Helped with some cooking or baking

Made a collage

Made a den

Watched some new films

Watched the news to hear about updates

Reflecting on your time since we’ve been in lockdown,

think about THREE things you would like to draw.

Draw a picture of something you’ve done during

lockdown.

Give it a heading then underneath write a few sentences

to describe what you were doing and how you were

feeling at the time.

Be as creative as you can with your drawing and

descriptions!

Multiplying fractions by whole numbers

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8LVDxQB_L

Q

As a progression from yesterday's lesson – today

we will focus on multiplying fractions using

whole numbers.

e.g. 1/8 x 6 Now remember – the number 6 written as a

fraction is 6/1...

Reflecting on my lockdown journey

Answer the following questions in full sentences in your

book. Here is an example...

1. Where and who are you living with during

lockdown?

Remember if you want to bury your time capsule in a garden it must be made of strong material that will protect the things inside from animals. If you don’t have a place to bury it, you can always store it in your house with a note to say, ‘Only open on 01/06/2030’. ----------------------------------------------

Below is a link with some great ideas you may want to print off and complete to put inside your time capsule. https://www.kiddycharts.com/printables/free-covid-19-time-capsule-worksheets/

Spend some time drawing and decorating these things to put into your time capsule.

Numeracy Literacy Topic

Therefore the question is 1/8 x 6/1 = 6/8

However in the question below:

1/5 x 6 = 6/5 The top number is bigger than the bottom

number. In this case you can convert it into a

mixed number e.g. 1 1/5

If you’re not sure how to do this yet that’s fine.

Below are some more examples of how to

multiply fractions by whole numbers

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zbh6hbk

Once you feel confident with this topic you can

have a go at the activities at the bottom of the

website (or use these links):

Here is an example...

1. I am living in a flat in Butetown. I live with my

parents, brother and sister. We also have a pet

goldfish.

2. What special occasions have you celebrated

during lockdown?

3. Have you visited anybody from outside their

house? If so, who?

4. What has been your favourite part of lockdown?

5. What has been your least favourite part of

lockdown?

6. Is there a TV programme you have enjoyed

watching during lockdown?

7. What are you thankful for your parents doing

during lockdown?

8. What do you plan to do when lockdown is over?

Numeracy Literacy Topic

If you find these activities too tricky or don’t feel

confident enough to convert fractions into mixed

numbers then have a go at these questions instead:

e.g. 1/5 x 3 = 3/5

1/6 x 4 =

1/9 x 7 =

1/10 x 3 =

1/20 x 14 =

1/12 x 9 =

2/8 x 3 =

3/10 x 3 =

4/12 x 2 =

Dividing Fractions

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKCBspYtrSU

Dividing fractions is similar to multiplying

fractions – with just one extra step beforehand.

So with this example:

2/3 ÷ 2/4

First you flip the second fraction to become 4/2 Now all you do is multiply the fractions:

Understanding the coronavirus

Did you draw a rainbow to support the NHS workers? If so, why not put that into your time capsule. Can you find any newspaper articles add into the time capsule? Anything you’ve spent time doing you can add it in. You may also want to include some pictures. Maybe your parents want to add things into it with you. We are living through a huge part of history so documenting and putting things into a time capsule will be an amazing way to remember this.

Numeracy Literacy Topic

I.e. 2/3 x 4/2 = 8/6

Another examples:

1/3 ÷ 3/5 = 1/3 x 5/3 = 5/9

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwSMew

rnQXg

Now remember, a whole number, for example:

6 as a fraction is 6/1.

So if the question asks:

1/3 ÷ 6 it really means 1/3 ÷ 6/1

And therefore 1/3 x 1/6 = 1/18

The link below shows further examples to

help you consolidate this learning about

dividing fractions:

Again if you find this work too tricky then

instead have a go at these questions on

dividing fractions below:

e.g. 2/5 ÷ 2/3 = 2/5 x 3/2 = 6/10

Or

2/5 ÷ 4 = 2/5 ÷ 4/1 = 2/5 x 1/ 4 =

2/20

1/3 ÷ 3/5 =

Diary entry box up

Begin to draft your diary entry using the box up.

Imagine your diary is a friend and tell them about what

box up to help you organise your work.

Paragraph 1 (Introduction) Dear diary...

Introduce yourself, your

name, age, interests and

hobbies, who you’re living

with...

Example:

1/5 of 30 = is asking how many 5s go into 30 =

6

1/6 of 18 = 3 (how many 6s go into 18 = 3)

Have a go at these questions to practice:

1/3 of 12 =

1/5 of 25 =

1/6 of 24 =

1/10 of 50 =

1/8 of 32 =

1/9 of 63 =

Fractions of Amounts

As a progression from yesterday's work, you can

also calculate more challenging fractions of

amounts... As an example:

If we already know 1/ 4 of 16 = 4

To work out 2/4 of 16 x the answer by 2 = 8

Friday 5th June

Diary Entry

Purple polish your box up to improve any spelling

mistake (remember read your sentences out load to check

they makes sense).

Use the success criteria to help you with your writing.

Success Criteria:

Paragraphs

Specific vocabulary describing the coronavirus

Connectives

Numeracy Literacy Topic

If Question was 3/ 4 of 16 x the answer by 3 = 12

e.g 3/5 of 30

Work out 1/5 of 30 = 6

So 3/5 of 30 = 18 (3x6)

Once you feel comfortable with this work then you

can have a go at the activities below to find fractions

of amounts:

1/5 of 20 = 2/5 of 20 =

1/6 of 18 = 3/6 of 18 =

1/10 of 50 = 4/10 of 50 =

1/8 of 24 = 6/8 of 24 =

1/12 of 48 = 3/12 of 48 =

3/5 of 40 =

4/6 of 36 =

7/9 of 72 =

Past tense

Future tense

Variety of sentence starters

If you have enjoyed writing a dairy entry. Why not start

your own diary? It’s great to read back in years time!
