Maths Targets
Each term the children are set learning targets which are taught and tested in class. All children are expected to achieve the ‘must’ target. The majority or children are expected to achieve the ‘should’ target. Some children will achieve the ‘could’ target.
We must know pairs of multiples of 10 to 100.
We should know pairs of multiples of 10 to 100.
We could know pairs of multiples of 5 to 100.
What does this mean? A multiple of 10 is 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100. A multiple of 5 is 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 etc
We need to know pairs that make 100 like 10 + 90 = 100 20 + 80 = 10015 + 85 = 100 45 + 55 = 100
Olympic Maths
Throwing events
In the Olympics, athletes try to throw javelins and discuses as far as they can. How far can you throw a football or tennis ball? Time to get practicing and you can measure how far using a tape measure.
High Jump
How high can you jump? Stand next to a wall and stretch your arm up as high as you can. Ask a friend to mark where your finger tips reach. How bend your knees and jump up as high as you can and touch the wall. Ask your friend to mark the spot.
Here is the maths part. Measure the two marks and find the difference.
If Mr Prosser can reach 200cm and when he jumps he got 213cm. He can jump 13cm.
213 - 200 = 13cm
