Year 3 – Wednesday 22nd April

Good Morning Year 3

Happy Wednesday!

We hope you’ve had a fabulous sleep and ready for today. Thank you for all your super work you have sent in – we really do like seeing how hard you are working at home. Are you keeping track of the RP’s you are getting? These will all add up to a reward when we are back at school.

Boris says ‘Too much selfie isn’t healthy’ – with this is mind, what can you do today to help someone else? Help cook dinner? Help by laying the table? Send us a picture of how you helped today.

I wanted to share some pictures we took on our walk last night as the sun was setting. It made me think about how lucky we are to live where we do, with such wonderful surroundings.

Enjoy your day
Mrs Boyle and the Year 3 Team

Maths

Today, we are continuing our work on Fractions using the White Rose Maths Lessons. This will involve watching the video clip and completing the worksheet. There is an answer sheet to check your work.
Please complete Week 2 Lesson 3 – Fractions of a set of objects 2 – This lesson builds on your knowledge of finding fractions of objects from yesterday. Instead of just finding unit fractions ½, ¼ etc. You will rind 3/4 , 2/3 etc of amounts. As yesterday you will use arrays and bar models to help you do this.
You can find the video and resources for today’s lesson here https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-3/

Make sure you click on week 2, Lesson 3. Watch the clip and follow the instructions.

Resources you will need:
Please remember if you don’t have a printer you can copy into your maths book or onto paper. Try and complete as best as you can.

When you have finished use the answer sheet to mark your work.

Things to remember

• Remember the denominator (the bottom number) tells you how many equal parts you divide the whole into. So if you are finding 2/3 the 3 will tell you how many rows you need in an array or that you will need 3 sections in a bar model.
• For question 3 remember when the denominator and numerator are the same it is equal to the whole e.g. 4/4 of 12 = 12
• Don’t forget to exchange a ten for 10 ones to help you divide them equally in questions 4c and 5
• Use the steps below to find the answers to question 6.
