MATHS

LO: to subtract fractions and mixed number fractions

 

I have made a video about how to find common denominators and sent the You Tube link to your parents/carers on Marvellous Me.  Have a look at this if you are still unsure or just need a refresher.  In the video I have included a new method for finding common denominators.

 

In today’s lesson is a continuation of yesterday’s lesson where you learnt how to subtract fractions with  different denominators.  Use the methods you learnt yesterday to support your learning today. You will see the two different methods they have used – one is subtractions, the other is counting on.  Please try the In Focus question.  You might find it easier to explain once you have looked through the Let’s Learn examples. As usual, I’ve left the answers for you in Guided Practice.  Make sure that you are working through the questions and understanding how to work them out – don’t just look at the answers.  This won’t help you when you come to completing the two worksheets.   Don’t forget your answers need to be in the simplest form – remember that the first way to do this is look to see if they are equal (then you can half the numerator and denominator until you can’t half it anymore).  If they are a mixed of odd and even try dividing by 3, 5, 7 etc (whatever operation you do to the denominator you do to the numerator).   Don’t forget to have a go at the challenge.  Please send in your work today.

ENGLISH

LO: to write a persuasive letter

 

In today’s lesson Mr Brown will be modelling to you how to write a formal persuasive letter.  After you have watched the video, you will need to follow Mr Brown’s ideas and structure and have a go at writing your own persuasive letter about making school uniform compulsory in the UK.  Complete the task at the end of the lesson of writing your own persuasive letter using the model which Mr Brown went through during the lesson.  This will support your independent letter writing tomorrow.
