Maths Read and Understand Whole Numbers
Convert the numbers into expanded notation. The first one is done for you.
a) 4 246 936 4 000 000 + 200 000 + 40 000 + 6 000 + 900 + 30 + 6
b) 88 421
c) 2 856 913
d) 714 533
e) 7 240 547
f) 4 215 632
g) 770 421
h) 467 809
Write the number from the expanded notation. Remember to group the digits in 3s.
a) 500 000 + 20 000 + 3 000 + 700 + 40 + 1
b) 80 000 + 5 000 + 200 + 70 + 3
c) 400 000 + 5 000 + 200 + 50 + 2
d) 900 000 + 40 000 + 1 000 + 80 + 5
e) 20 000 + 7 000 + 300 + 8
f) 300 000 + 2 000 + 500 + 80 + 4
g) 800 000 + 50 000 + 6 000 + 200 + 30 + 8
When we write numbers using expanded notation, we identify and name the value of each digit.
3 154 231 = 3 000 000 + 100 000 + 50 000 + 4 000 + 200 + 30 + 1
Science Lesson 1 Review
Types of Energy
Movement: describes the displacement of an object in time and space.
Electrical: describes the displacement of electrons around a closed circuit.
Light: describes electro-magnetic radiation that is detected by the retina in the eye.
Heat: describes the speed at which particles in matter vibrate. The hotter something
is, the more energy its particles have and the more vigorously they vibrate.
Microwaves: describes electromagnetic radiation of high frequency and short
wavelength that can cause particles such as water molecules to vibrate faster.
Sound: describes waves of pressure travelling through solids, liquids or gases that our
ears perceive as sound.
Elastic: describes how certain materials stretch when they are pulled (have opposing
forces applied) and store the applied energy. They have the ability to then spring
back to their original shape, transforming stored energy to movement energy
Gravitational: describes how any object near Earth that is not restrained in any way,
will drop towards the Earth’s centre. Gravitational energy, as it is used here, is a
measure relative to position. A book on a high shelf is said to have more
‘gravitational’ energy than one on a low shelf, since when it falls from the shelf the
higher one will gain more movement energy as it falls.
Chemical: describes the fact that all chemicals have a certain amount of energy in the
bonds that hold the atoms together. For example, complex carbohydrates and fats
have high energy bonds that animals and plants break down to release energy.
Nuclear: describes the energy released when the nuclei of atoms are split (fission)
and/or combined (fusion). The Sun is a site of nuclear fusion where hydrogen atom
nuclei fuse to form a helium atom nucleus, releasing radiations of many types,
including light, heat waves and ultraviolet radiations, that are so energetic they can
burn skin and/or damage DNA.
Activity The table below is a survey of energy used at school. You will be completing a survey of energy used around your house.
Complete the table examining types of energy being emitted and used by objects around your house. Use the different types of energy listed on first page to help you fill in the table.
Lesson 2 Reflections
Learning Points Your Reflection

Stage 3 PE Movement Sequences - Balance
Balance helps you develop the basic skills you need for all physical activity. Balance is very important to achieving success in almost every sport or game you play! It would be impossible to ride a bike, kick a ball, do a dance, hop, skip and jump without balance. There are two types of balance you need to know. These are static and dynamic. Try saying those words out loud to yourself.
What is static balance?
The ability to maintain control of a position while not moving. This looks like balancing on one leg or freezing in a shape like a statue.
What is dynamic balance?
Dynamic balance is the ability to maintain balance and control of the body while moving, like hopping, jumping, throwing or riding a bike.
Your task is to watch the following video and follow along with the teacher to practice static and dynamic balance in sequences.
