Today's lesson is about solving one-step equations in algebra.

First, watch this video and have a go at any of the questions in it:


Then complete this worksheet: Thursday's Maths Worksheet
(Don't forget that you can do this by writing the answers in your book or on a piece of paper - you don't need to print the sheet out.)

Then check your work against the answers: Thursday's Maths Answers

Literacy

 We're looking at vocabulary in today's lesson:


Worksheet for today's lesson: Thursday's worksheet. (The class text is here: Rhiswanozebtah.) When I say to annotate and underline, I meant to say make a note of these words in your book, sorry! (If you have an electronic or printed copy of the text you can do this directly on the text.)

GPS - Spelling

Learn about all the different ways of saying 'ough': which words use the 'ough' spelling?

 No mountains lesson this week (sorry - I need to have a think about how to show you what I want to!) - please practise the map skills we started to learn last week by exploring this website: https://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/mapzone/

Have a great day!

Term 6 - Language Skills

Year 6 have been practising their -ant, -ance, -ancy and -ent, -ence and -ency spellings recently. One fun way we found to practise was by playing a matching game. Children had to turn over a word card and a definition card and see if they matched. If they did, the children had to try to spell the word without looking at the card. If they were correct, they kept the pair of cards. The winner was the player with the most pairs!

Term 6 - Writing

 In literacy lessons, we have been learning about part of S. F. Said's book, 'Phoenix'. We read an edited version of the first chapter, and over the next few weeks, created our own action stories based on that.

Term 5 - More Maths

 We used the double-sided counters to explore the game of Nim-7 . We enjoyed working out if there was a way of always winning, whether you were Player 1 or Player 2.  Once we'd explored that, we started asking ourselves other questions: "What would happen if we had an even number of counters?" "What if you could take more counters at a time?" "What if you used the same rules, but played with more people?" Each group picked a question to investigate further, and started to think about how to record what they had found out. Year 6 worked well in partnership with each other and really thought deeply about the maths behind the investigation.
