Good Morning Year 3

Happy Thursday!

How is it Thursday – the week goes so fast when we are working so hard! Thank you again for sharing all your super work with us – we are going to be sharing this with you tomorrow.

So today is going to be a busy day, we look forward to seeing you all in our Zoom catch ups (Your grown up was sent details on Monday). Can you have a piece of work nearby that you have been particularly proud of to show your class friends and teachers. 

Don’t forget it’s Thursday, keep smiling and warm up your hands for 8pm – when we all cheer and clap the NHS for all they are doing at this difficult time. It is also Captain Tom Moore’s 100th Birthday today so don’t forget after to sing Happy Birthday to him. Did you know he has raised £29.376,356 for the NHS! Wow isn’t an achievements!

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 Summer Term Week 1 Lesson 4 – Ordering Fractions – This lesson builds on your knowledge from yesterday’s work on comparing fractions.  Today you will use bar models to help you order fractions from smallest to largest.

You can find the video and resources for today’s lesson here https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-3/ 

Make sure you click on Summer Term week 1, Lesson 4 Watch the clip and follow the instructions.

Things to remember

  • Bar models must be the same size when comparing.
  • You can use a fraction wall to help when the numerator and denominator are different numbers.
  • Remember when the denominators the same, the greater the numerator, the greater the fraction e.g. 7/10 is greater than 3/10 because the numerator 7 is greater than 3.
  • When the denominators are the same, the smaller the numerator, the smaller the fraction e.g. 3/8 is less than 5/8 because the numerator 3 is less than 5.
  • When the numerators are the same, the smaller the denominator the greater the fraction e.g. 3/5 is greater than 3/8 because the denominator 5 is less than 8 meaning the whole hasn’t been split into so many pieces.
  • Question 7 is a challenge question. For Dexter’s method will need to make each of the numerators 4. Think what you need to x the numerator by to make 4 and then times the denominator by that too.  You can now order the fractions.  For Alex’s method you will need to make each of the denominators 105 so you will need to work out what you need to times the denominator by to make 105 and times the numerator by that too (you can ask an adult to work through this question with you)

Resources you will need:
