MATHS

LO: to subtract fractions with different denominators

 

In today’s lesson you will subtracting fractions with  different denominators.  Use the methods you learnt last week for finding common denominators before you attempt to subtract the fraction.  When you have made the denominators the same, remember that when you subtract (just like you did with addition) the denominator will always stay the same.  Please do the In Focus task and then, as previous lessons, take your time in going through the Let’s Learn so you have a solid understanding.  Remember, when you are finding equivalent fractions you need to find a common multiple to make both denominators the same.  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 email your Maths work to me today.

 

 

ENGLISH / SPELLING

LO: to practise and apply knowledge suffixes -ant and -ent

 

Today’s lesson builds of last week’s lesson where you learnt how adding the suffixes ‘ant’ and ‘ent’ to root words, makes new words and changes their word class. As with all our English lessons you will need to participate and make notes where the teacher asks you to.  You can make notes of your own too.  These will then build throughout the two weeks to enable you to complete your final independent piece of writing.  Make sure you complete the spelling test as some of these words that you are learning to spell will have a real impact in your final independent write on Friday.
