PROBLEM SOLVING – LESSON 1 • Now that you have reviewed your methods for addition and subtraction calculations use your skills to solve some word problems. • Look in the blog for today’s challenges…

PROBLEM SOLVING – LESSON 1 • There were some very challenging questions today. • Well done for having a go. • Now using one of the questions you answered as a starting point create your own problem for someone else to solve. You could ask someone at home to solve it, email it to your teacher to challenge them or share it on Teams. • (You must also have the answer so you can check afterwards)

PROBLEM SOLVING – LESSON 2 • Today’s Starter: Times Tables https: //mathsframe. co. uk/en/resources/resource/544/Stone-Age-Stu-Times-Tables Choose which times tables you wish to practice. Play and enjoy

PROBLEM SOLVING – LESSON 2 • Today’s lesson focusses on using all four computations (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division) to solve problems. • Yesterday we reviewed addition and subtraction. These videos may help to remind you of the strategies for multiplication and division • Multiply: https: //www. youtube. com/watch? v=ry. B 0 ru. Id.

PROBLEM SOLVING – LESSON 3 • Today’s Starter: Hit the Button https: //www. topmarks. co. uk/maths-games/hit-the-button Start with finding halves – how challenging will you make it? ? Halves to 10 involving 1 dp (one decimal place)? Which other activities will you try? Squares? Number bonds? How quick can you be? ? ?

PROBLEM SOLVING – LESSON 3 • Can you read my mind? ? ? • I am thinking of a number… I add 16 to it. My answer is 28. • What number was I thinking of?

PROBLEM SOLVING – LESSON 3 • Can you read my mind? ? ? • I am thinking of a number… I add 16 to it. My answer is 28. • What number was I thinking of? • 12 • Well done if you got it right – but how did you do it? • Did you do 28 – 16? But I said ‘add 16’ to my number, why would we take it away? • Because we have to work backwards and do the opposite…

PROBLEM SOLVING – LESSON 3 • Can you read my mind? ? ? • I am thinking of a number… I subtract 5 from it and multiply it by 3. My answer is 15. • What number was I thinking of?

PROBLEM SOLVING – LESSON 3 • Can you read my mind? ? ? • I am thinking of a number… I subtract 5 from it and multiply it by 3. My answer is 15. • What number was I thinking of? • 10 • Well done if you got it right – but how did you do it? • Did you do 15 ÷ 3 = 5 + 5 = 10. You have to start from the end and do the opposite again…

PROBLEM SOLVING – LESSON 3 • Practice this skill using this game: https: //www. topmarks. co. uk/Flash. aspx? f=Guess. My. Number • Choose whether you want to do one or two step problems and then choose your challenge. . • After you have played a few games choose a challenge from the blog to complete in your workbook.

PROBLEM SOLVING – LESSON 3 • Well done for completing today’s lesson. • Now have a go at creating your own ‘Guess my Number’. • You could ask someone at home to solve it, email it to your teacher to challenge them or share it on Teams.

PROBLEM SOLVING – LESSON 4 • Today’s Starter: Thinking of a Number https: //www. topmarks. co. uk/Flash. aspx? f=Thinking. Of. ANumberv 3 Can you use the clues to work out what number the very clever dog is thinking of?

PROBLEM SOLVING – LESSON 4 • Algebra is when numbers are replaced with symbols. • Todays challenge is all about solving problems involving missing numbers… • Can you work out what the missing shapes are? • How did you do it?

PROBLEM SOLVING – LESSON 4 • The circles are all the same number and three add up to nine. • Therefore each circle must be 3 • Two circles and a triangle equal 7. Two circles make 6 so the triangle must be 1 • Two triangles and a star equal 4. Two triangles make 2 so the star must be 2

PROBLEM SOLVING – LESSON 4 • Now choose a challenge from the blog to complete.

PROBLEM SOLVING – LESSON 4 • Look carefully at this one… you may want to include everyone at home in this problem – it is a tricky one!!!

PROBLEM SOLVING – LESSON 4 • HINTS: • Look what time the clocks are showing. • Look at the numbers on the calculator. • Look at how bright the bulbs are.

PROBLEM SOLVING – LESSON 4 • HINTS: • Clocks: 9 + 3 = 21 • Calculator: 1+2+3+4 = 10; 10+10+10=30 • Bulbs: Each bulb = 15 (15+15 -15 = 15) Each mark around bulb = 3

PROBLEM SOLVING – LESSON 4 • ANSWER • Clock (9) + Calculator (9) x Bulbs (36) • 9 + 9 x 36 = 9 + 324 • You should multiply before adding • (Google BIDMAS for more information) • 9 + 324 = 333

PROBLEM SOLVING – LESSON 4 • Well done for completing today’s lesson. • Now have a go at creating your own algebra problem based on one that you solved today. • You could ask someone at home to solve it, email it to your teacher to challenge them or share it on Teams.
