Today we are going to be subtracting by counting back. You will need 20 things to count with (e.g. counters, raisins or pencils) a number line or 100 square and your maths no problem workbook 1A.

First look at this problem and decide how you think we could work it out?

So could you use your 20 things you chose to help you. Can you count back? Now try using your number line to solve these questions.

15-2= 17-3= 14-4 =

Now have a go at pages 128-129 in your work book. Worksheet 4 Subtract by counting back.

Science

This half term we will be following a series of lessons which investigate materials and their properties.  

Lesson 1

Which materials are waterproof?

In this lesson, we will be learning about waterproof materials. We will test a variety of household materials and compare how absorbent each of them is.  In case you missed the blog post yesterday you will need to get ready  twigs or a piece of wood, a plastic bag or cup, a glass cup, cardboard or paper, and a pair of socks or piece of fabric.  If you do not have these materials, you can watch the lesson and record your observations of the experiment that will be done on the video. In the lesson it asks you to draw a table in your book or use a worksheet. It’s up to you which you do but if you decide on the worksheet please down load here (page 2)

Please use your red book to record the work you are asked to do.  Remember to write in pencil and keep it neat.
