Math Lesson

For those who are having difficulty accessing OneNote, here is the Math lesson for today… Maths A A Farmer has realised that part of the fence surrounding his paddock has been broken. He has decided to replace all the fencing around the paddock. How will the farmer know how much fencing he needs to buy?   What is the term used to describe measuring this? The farmer measures the p______________ of the paddock to work out how much fencing is needed.   G  I understand how to measure the perimeter of a shape using formal units of measurement. N perimeter. • Is  the distance around the outside of a shape, calculated by adding the length of all sides together.       A     Below are some  Math Problems to solve. Show your working out in your book or in your OneNote Notebook if you are able to access.   If you are able to add your work to your Class Notebook, follow the steps below: Save the Word document in the documents folder on your laptop Make a new page under your name/maths and call it Tuesday 21/4 At the top of your OneNote page, click Insert/File Attachment Find you maths document in the document folder and click Insert Perimeter (& Area) Word Problems Problem Number Sentence and Calculations Answer Libby has just bought a rectangular display board for her classroom.  It has a length of 90 cm and a width of 50 cm. Libby would like to put a border of yellow ribbon around the perimeter of her display board. How many centimetres of yellow ribbon will she need to buy? Extension: If Libby decides she would like to put a blue fabric backing piece to cover the whole board, how much blue fabric will she need? Chris has just bought a new puppy. She needs to build a fence around her backyard so the puppy can’t run away and get lost. Chris’s backyard is a rectangle. It has a length of 8 m and a width of 6.5 m. How many metres of fencing does Chris need to buy? Holly does her hair every morning using the square mirror on her bathroom wall. The mirror has sides of 60 cm. What is the perimeter of Holly’s mirror? Extension: What is the area of Holly’s mirror? Isabella’s dad is laying out new grass in the backyard. The backyard is a square, with sides of 12 m. What is the area of grass that Isabella’s dad will need to buy?     Perimeter (& Area) Word Problems Problem Number Sentence and Calculations Answer Last year, Giorgio and Evan went to the circus with their family. The big top was in the shape of a hexagon. Before the circus began, Giorgio, Evan and their family walked around the perimeter of the big top. How many metres did they walk, if each side of the hexagon was 22 m in length? Extension: What would be the area of the canvas floor used to cover the base of the big top tent? Farmer Tom and Farmer Tim own farms next to each other. They both have goats on their farms.  Farmer Tom has a large rectangular paddock for his goats with a length of 20 m and a width of 8 m. Farmer Tim has a smaller rectangular paddock for his goats with a length of 10 m and a width of 5 m. If Farmer Tom and Farmer Tim decide to join their paddocks together, how much fencing might they need to go around the combined paddock? Extension: What will the area of the new goat paddock be?     Extension: I have 50m of fencing materials. What could the dimensions of my paddock be? Show this in 4 different ways. Draw a diagram to show the shape and dimensions of the paddock. All examples must be of different shapes. 2 examples must include a decimal value of at least 2 lengths. Record your working out on today’s maths page in your Class Notebook G How would you explain to someone else how to calculate a shape’s perimeter?

Reading

Focus: Read – Information texts are formal

APK

What genre do you think these texts may be?

Use text clues to help you predict.

New Information:

There are many differences between the structure of information reports and narrative texts.

Some features include

• formal vs informal
• structures (headings, tables)
• tier 3 words

 

Goal:

These are our unit goals for this term:

1. Readers understand the text structure and organisation of information reports.
2. Readers use appropriate strategies to understand information from the text.
3. Readers research for a purpose.

 

Using the information you have been given, which of the unit reading goals from above do you think we are starting with.

 

Application:

Read the text Quakes Floods and Natural Disasters (click the link below)

Monday 20/4 – Text for reading lesson   (Web view)

Choose a fiction text from home look at the differences between the two texts.

Draw a Venn diagram in your Reader’s notebook, on paper, or draw up a 3 column grid in your lesson application section of your Digital reader’s Notebook (One OneNote). Use the Venn diagram (or table) to illustrate the differences and similarities between the nonfiction text and a fiction book. Think about more than the physical differences such as what the texts will look like. Take a photo and put it into your class note book in the reading section under lesson application. Don’t forget to date your work and add the lesson goal at the top. (the lesson goal will be one of the three below –  using the lesson clues, which one do you think it will be?

 

1. Readers understand the text structure and organisation of information reports.
2. Readers use appropriate strategies to understand information from the text.
3. Readers research for a purpose.

Goal Reflection:

Write a reflection to justify which reflection goal you picked.

Example: I think it is this goal because….

 

Writing

Goal:  I can show what I know about writing information texts. (Pre-assessment)

APK:

   

 

What are some differences between narrative and information texts? Think about the structure, features and language used.

 

New Information:

As a pre-assessment, you are going write an information text on a topic that you are an expert on. The purpose of this pre-assessment task is to show everything you know about information reports. Make sure you consider the following:

• Text structure

• • Features of information reports

Features of information reports

• The language used in information reports

 

Application:

Choose a topic you know lots and lots about. Write an information report on this topic. Make sure you do this by yourself so that your teacher can see what you already know about writing information reports. Type your report on Onenote under your name/Writing/Information Reports/Pre-assessment

Don’t forget to date your work.

Some ideas for topics:

• Moonee Ponds Primary School
• A sport
• An animal
• A place/country

 

Goal Reflection:

Draw up a table to list some topics that would be suitable to write information reports about.  What are some that would be unsuitable?

Example

Suitable information Report Topics

Unsuitable information Report Topics

Wellbeing

Goal: I can identify character strengths I admire or value.

APK:

1. Draw a rough sketch which shows you (or another character) doing something positive for, or with, someone else. This sketch shows something you think is a ‘good’ thing. It helps make the world a better place for someone. Once drawn, you should label your sketch.

 

2. Take a photo of this picture and share in the ‘gallery’ page on our class OneNote Collaboration space.

If you are having trouble posting you may email to your teacher or post on your blog so we can copy it over. Failing that, please write, in the collaboration space, what your picture would have been about.

Links to Gallery Page, if you are having trouble finding it:

5/6A: Gallery

5/6B: Gallery

5/6C: Gallery

 

This lesson will be continued tomorrow – please make sure you have included a picture in the collaboration space so we can discuss it tomorrow. If you are unable to put a picture, please put a sentence explaining what the picture would have been of if you were able to insert it.

 

 

Maths

Goal: I can accurately identify and use tools to measure length and distance.

APK:

Measuring tools

Go on a hunt around your house.

What ‘tools’ can you find to measure with? What would they be used to measure?

Fill in the following table with your answers:

 

Name and picture of tool	What might I measure with this?	What units of measurement would I use?

 

 

If you are working at school or are unable to get up and move around the house in case you disturb others who are working – use this link/activity instead.

APK  (Web view)

New Information:

We use different tools to measure different things with formal units eg. cm, g. Here are some examples of why accuracy is important:

• When making a cake, your measurement must be accurate, otherwise the cake won’t work.
• Builders need to be accurate because if they make a window too small, the glass won’t fit into it.

What other examples can you think of?

Application:

Work through the list, giving an example for each type of measurement. If you are at home, measure some items and record their exact measurement. Fill in the table with an example for each type of measurement. You can find the table in under your name/Maths/Lesson Application/Monday 20/4.

Mass

Time

Temperature

Capacity

Perimeter

Area

Volume

Thursday 15/4	Reading
	Focus:  Comprehension Strategies
G	Goal: I can use comprehension strategies to help me understand a text.
A
N	Choose the easy, medium or challenging option. Read the text and use your comprehension skills to answers the questions. Write your answers in your Reader’s Notebook, a book you have at home, or on some scrap paper.
A	L2Easy     L2Medium   L2Challenging   To find the activity in Onenote, you need to follow the link below then scroll down to the page under Thursday 16/4/20. 5/6A 5/6B 5/6C Easy  (Web view) Easy Easy Medium  (Web view) Medium Medium Challenging  (Web view) Challenging Challenging   When you have finished, do some independent reading.
G	Write in your book: A comprehension strategy I used was…

 

Thursday 15/4	Writing
	Focus:  I understand the writing process.
G	I can use the writing process to help me create a narrative.
A	Identify where you are at in the writing process with your personal writing. Most of you should be at the drafting and revising stages of your personal writing pieces.
N	It is important to set yourself a goal of what you want to achieve during this time. For example in this session I would like to complete my draft, or I will edit my piece of work. (If you do not have your Writer’s Notebook,  with you can start a new narrative. Use the prompt below).     … although it was Saturday nothing was opened… Things to consider: Why is this strange? What did you need to be opened? What will you do instead? How much of a problem is this?
A	Use the next 30-45 mins to work on your personal writing piece. Remember it is important to follow the writing process. If you have completed all the steps between prewriting and editing get someone to give you feedback.
G	What did you achieve in this session? Give yourself a knowledge and effort score.

 

In your Maths book (or another book if you do not have your Maths book) please complete the following lesson. Remember to use a ruler, red pen and pencil or blue/black pen. Date the work.

Thursday 15/4	Mathematics
	Focus:  Equivalence in maths
G	I can match equivalent items in maths.   Record your Knowledge and Effort scores.
A	This trick will impress even your maths teacher. Think of a number. Double it. Add 10. Halve it. Take away you original number. Is your answer 5? Try this with a different starting number. Did you get a different result? Why does this happen? Write the answer on a piece of paper without letting anybody see it and seal it in an envelope. Have somebody hold the envelope and at the end ask them to open it and reveal the number you wrote at the beginning. Wow, Magic!
N	Equivalence is a term we use in mathematics. When two things are equal they are not the same but have the same value. For example 1/2 a pizza is equal to 4 slices of a pizza that has been cut into 8 pieces.
A	Open the following document – Make me balance.  Level 1 Activity   Match the equivalent amounts Balance me out – Level 1   Level 2 Activity   See how many of the things in section A you can match with the section B items. Group 2 Make-Me-Balance   If you finish quickly, see if you can make your own equivalent pairs.
G	What areas were you most confident in matching? What areas did you find challenging? Re-score your Knowledge and Effort scores.

Hi All,

Thanks Ruben for pointing out that the CAFE menu was missing from the blog post.

I’ve also attached the missing questions for the easier level of the reading activity.

Let me know if anything else is missing please.

Libby

1. Reading 4 nights. Make sure you record in your diary what pages you have read and how long you have spent reading. you should read a minimum of 20 minutes – preferably 30 minutes.
2. Please complete the 100wcWe have someone in difficulty for this week’s prompt. It is:

   … ‘I’m trying to hold on,’ he shouted …

   Things to think about:

   • Is this a physical situation?
   • What is he holding onto?
   • What will happen if he let’s go?
   • He is shouting so is this dangerous?
3. Maths – find something at home that is measured in : kilograms, grams, metres, millimetres, degrees, litres and seconds. Record the item and it’s measurements e.g. the bag of flour is 2kg. We have used half so we have 1kg left.

Reminder – Friday is ‘Live for Lily’ day – wear pink.

1. Please make sure you read 3 nights this week, recording both the amount of time read and the pages read in your diary.
2. ICT Agreements are due – please return ASAP
3. Place these decimals in order. Choose which level you are able to complete independently:

Level A:       0.5      0.7     0.34     0.3      1.3

Level B:        3.24           3.42        3.26        1.35

Level C:        0.204       0.302         0.002         0.303         0.320       0.32

4.  Choose 3 interesting or new words from you reading and place in a sentence that shows you understand the meaning  eg. shrieked – I saw a great, big, hairy spider and I shrieked in terror making an ear-piercing noise.

5. Re-read the 100wc challenge you wrote last week. Look at the feedback you have received and see if you can revise and edit using some of the suggestions made.

 

1. Reading 4 times for the week. Record pages read in your diary.
2. Ensure your diary is signed at least once for the week.
3. Multiplication Facts – continue working on these. Make sure your check list is stuck in your homework book and that you are continuing to revise.
4. 100 Word ChallengeThis week, it sounds like trouble could be on its way! The prompt is:

   … we took no notice of the sign …

   Things to think about:

   • What is the setting?
   • What might the sign have said?
   • What will now happen that the sign has not been taken notice of?

Apologies to those who have been diligently searching for this week’s homework… the post was not published 🙁

Maths:

Choose the times tables that you need to work on. Practise and get your parent to sign.

If you think you’ve got them, come and get it signed off by your teacher. You don’t have to do all of them this week. Pick one or two each week to work on.

Reading:

4 nights reading, include the title of the book, number of pages read and make sure your parents sign it.
