Some maths challenges.
How many of these maths problems can you solve? Some are harder some are easier. Problems where you have to do some thinking but you can solve it are just right. Remember to write the information down - what is the important information? What are you trying to find out? Do you have add, subtract, multiply or divide? Also remember to show your working.
If 1/2 are yellow, how many blue marbles do you have?
How many yellow marbles are in 3 bags altogether?
T. Rex went shopping because he had to buy 2 Christmas presents. He had £5.00 in his claw. He bought a ball for 75p and a bag of sweets for 35p. How much change did he have left?
Mark had 50 red crayons on his table. These had to be shared between 5 tables in the classroom. How many crayons were on each table?
I didn't get the first question please can you explain me the question after the school starts.

sunflower is 97cm tall. after term1 it grows more 95cm so its nw 97+95 cm=192cm tall

TO EASY MAN
Some suggestions to help you with the matrix
Have a look at some pictures or videos of the floods. What do you see?
What do you hear? What do you feel? Use these ideas to help you write a 'Capture the Moment' poem.
Design an invention that makes your life easier or other people's lives easier in the flood.
What is something you find hard or boring? Getting up early? Finding things? Taking the dog for a walk? Cleaning the hamster cage?
Use your imagine to design something that would help - it doesn't have to possible. Use your imagination. Think of Phineas and Ferb!
Invent your own maths board game
Maybe a an addition adventure where you have to be the first to 100 and answer addition problems as you go. You could base it on an existing game e.g. Snakes and Ladders or Connect 4.
Create a shoebox model of an inventors studio
What does your inventor invent? What sort of things would an inventor need? Draw these things and stand them up in a shoe box. Paint/colour the back ground.
Make up a list of the top 10 useless inventions.
These would be thing that would not be that helpful. Like an alarm clock that sends you to sleep or a special safety knife that is so safe it can't cut anything!
Design the iPad 10
This is about imagining what an iPad might have in about 10 years time. Use your imagination. What about an iPad that has a Swiss arm knife into it?
Draw what it would look like and label and explain the different features.
Design your own 5 minute exercise routine
You could use music. What exercises could you put together that would help people get fit?
Make up a story about an invention that goes wrong.
Think about
Who are the characters?
Where is the setting?
What is the invention?
How will it go wrong?
How will the problem be solved?
Draw a plan first to get all your ideas down.
Think about how will your story begin?
This homework is very fun because we get to choose what we want to do and present it in our own unique way.
