Mathematics – Exploring numbers

You will need: a collection of objects

pencils

your workbook. 1. Which one doesn't belong - Dominoes

o First - Write down all your ideas for why 1 of these dominoes doesn't

belong. o Then - can you write down your ideas for why each domino doesn't belong

with the others.

Eg.

Hint: Think about your odd and even numbers, doubles and near doubles, friends of 10; what do the numbers have in common? What don't they have in common?

This page is for working

2. Which one doesn't belong – Picture puzzle

o First - Write down all your ideas for why 1 of these picture puzzles doesn't belong. o Then - can you write down your ideas for why each picture puzzle doesn't belong with

the others.

Hint – Think about where the different colours are, what shapes they make.

This part of the page is for working

You will need sticky notes or scrap paper You will need 4 x 0-9 spinners or 4 x 0-9 playing cards

Choose your numbers, spin your spinner, or roll your dice two times and make a two-digit number.

Write this number on your sticky note/scrap paper.

Repeat the above step 3 times and record each time, so you have 4 two-digit numbers.

Now order your numbers from smallest to largest. You can only move numbers that are next to each other one at a time. You need to do it in the least amount of movements possible.

Can you do it in less than 5 moves? Order these numbers from largest to smallest in less than five moves. Record how many moves it takes to order them. Remember, you are aiming to use the fewest moves possible.

For those who like a challenge

Make bigger numbers by using more dice. This part of the page is for working

PDHPE

Choose a 'starting point' where you will throw the objects from. Place each target at different distances from the 'starting point'.

Before you have a go, record your predictions below Which throwing style do you think will be the most effective? ________________ Why?__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Which target will be the easiest to hit?___________________ _______________ Why?________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

To play: Throw the object towards the target. You should aim to hit the target. Pick up the object from where it landed and throw the object again until the target has been hit.

Record how many throws it took to hit the target.

Attempt 1 - Underarm throw

Mathematics Today we will be playing '101 and you're out!'.

You will need: dice or numeral cards 1-6 pencils your workbook.

The goal is to get to 100 or as close to 100 without going over.

Take turns at rolling the dice. Choose if you would like to put your number in the tens or ones column.

Refer to the picture as an example. Use the tables below to record your answers.

Player 1

Tens Ones Number Total

Player 2

Tens Ones Number Total

After playing '101 and you're out!':

• Did you get closer to 100 on your second go with the same numbers? Why do you think that was?

• What advice would you give to someone playing this game for the first time?

Get Active! You will need:

• soccer ball, netball or similar-sized ball

• 2 field markers or shoes.

Using the ball, practice some foot skills and kicking with someone at home.

Science and Technology

Let's explore algorithms. Algorithms are a series of steps used to solve a problem or complete a task.

They can be recipes or instructions.

Did you know that dancing can also follow an Algorithm?

It's your turn!

Algorithm - Dance! • Write down your steps in the order you want to dance to them. Don't forget, good dances

repeat steps.

• Make sure you write down how many times you do a step. For example, 'Wave both

hands above your head for 8 beats'

• Use directions like left and right to help you remember which way to move. For example, 'Go

around in a circle to your left'.

• Find some fun music to put your steps to. The steps might need some changes to fit with the

music's beat.

• The dance only needs to go for 1-2 minutes.

For those who like a challenge! • Make an algorithm about how to make your favourite recipe. Remember to write the steps in the

correct order from beginning to end.

Friday To complete today's activities, you will need:

• A workbook • Pencils • Tea towel • Spoon • Playing cards • Recycled material • String, dental floss or wool • Sticky tape • Toy that can be tied to a string • Scissors • Timer (optional)

'Haunted' Tea Towel Trick! Play a trick on somebody you live with by making them think a tea towel is haunted and moving on its own!

You'll need: A tea towel and a wooden spoon.

Hold a tea towel between two hands (see picture below)

In one of your hands, hold a wooden spoon with your thumb, making sure it can't be seen from the other side of the tea towel.

Without moving your hands, with your thumb, press and push the end of the spoon forwards and backwards; this should make it look like the tea towel is moving on its own.

Don't ever let your audience see the spoon, or it will give the trick away!

Give it a try!
