Activity 1 – Division Word Problems

Key Vocabulary: share equally

Use last week’s learning about division on a number line and RUCSAC to help you answer these word problems.

Mild

1. During an art lesson,30 pencils are shared between 5 children. They think they will get 5 each. Are they correct? Show me how you know.

2. 26 apples are shared between 2 classes of children. How many apples will each class receive?

3. Ellie goes on a bike ride with her family. She rides 18 miles and it takes 3 hours. How many miles an hour does she ride?

4. Philip says that he has baked 24 chocolate cookies to share equally between his six friends. He has worked out that they can have 3 cookies each and he will have 3 left over for himself. Is he correct? How do you know?

Spicy

4.

Blow your mind

Henry is going on holiday with his family. The journey is 340 miles in total and the car travels at an average of 50 miles per hour. How long will the journey take in hours and minutes?

Activity 2 – Adding fractions with the same denominator

Key Vocabulary - Numerator is the number of parts of the whole we are interested in

- Denominator is the total number of parts of the whole that there are

Look at this shape. 29

The total number of parts that are shaded is 2 so this is the numerator. The total number of parts that the shape is divided into is 9 so this is the denominator. Therefore, the fraction of the whole shape that has been shaded is therefore 2

9 Now look at this one:

78

The total number of parts that are shaded is 7 so this is the numerator of our fraction.The total number of parts that the shape is divided into is 8 so this is the denominator of our fraction.The fraction shown is therefore 7

8

We can use this learning to help us add fractions together.

2 + 4 + 1 = 79 9 9 9 So when we add fractions with the same

denominator, the number of parts that the whole is divided into is not changing so the denominator does not change.

Task 1 Now choose one of the challenges on our class page; mild, spicy or hot.

Task 2

For each challenge, use the squares in your Maths book to draw each question then write the answer. Remember that the shape must be divided equally into the number of parts shown by the denominator. Use a different coloured pencil to show the different fractions you are adding.

Mild: 2 + 1 = 3 + 2 = 7 + 3 = 4 4 6 6 12 12

Spicy: 4 + 1 + 6 = 3 + 2 + 5 = 12 12 12 15 15 15

Hot: 3 + 6 + 4 = 1 + 2 + 5 = 20 20 20 8 8 8

How else could you write the answer to the last question. If the numerator and denominator are the same, they are equal to ?

Activity 3 – Adding fractions – Reasoning and Problem Solving

Stick the sheet into your Maths book then use the squares in your book for your working out and write your answers on the sheet.

Mild - complete the Mild/Spicy challengeSpicy – complete the Mild/ Spicy then the Spicy/Hot challengesHot – Complete the Spicy/ Hot and the Hot challenges Mild/Spicy

Activity 4 – Make 37

Use your Maths book to record your workings out.

Top Tip – think about these questions

What numbers can you make? Do they have anything in common?Have you made 37 with a different number of numbers? How many? Do these numbers have anything in common?What do you notice about the numbers in the bags?

Make sure you write an explanation of your answer.
