Maths – Monday answers
Y5 Maths – LO: area of rectangles
Building on from yesterday’s work on perimeter, today we are going to be finding the area of rectangles.
How do we find the area?
Recap: To find the area of a shape, we need to multiply the length by the width
eg:
8cm x 2cm = 16cm
However, with area, we are looking at the number of squares that cover the whole shape.
Like this:
As we can see, there are 16 squares.
Therefore, when writing down what the area is, we say: 16cm squared.
We write it this like: 16cm²
Today’s task:
1)
How many rectangles can you draw with an area of 30cm² ?
2)
3)
4)
Good luck! Remember to email me if you have any questions.
Y5&6 Writing – LO: ENPs
Building from our ENPs at a sentence level yesterday, your task today is to write a paragraph describing the setting you are currently in.
Before you start, have a look at this picture below.
This is a picture of a place called Kotor. It’s in Montenegro.
Below is a setting description for Kotor which contains ENPs.
Your task is to describe your current setting.
Tips:
-Use your sentences from yesterday in your writing – these will help you!
-Use my example to help you with your work, too. Can you magpie any bits you like from mine and make them relevant to your setting? I’m sure if there are some clouds in the sky today you could alter this one.
R2s:
-Different sentence starters (light and fluffy, several buildings…, casting shadows etc)
–ENPs
-Relative clauses (, which is substantial in the area,)
–Ambitious vocabulary (colossal, embellished…)
Please feel free to email over your setting descriptions when you have finished them. Equally, if you need any extra help, please do not hesitate to email me!
Best of luck and keep up the good work – you’re smashing it!
