Goal: I can use known facts, doubles and near doubles strategies to help me subtract.
Listen to the audio below to have the lesson explained to you.
First, look at the examples below and sort them into known facts, doubles and near doubles.
4 + 4 = 8
6 + 4 = 10
7 + 8 = 15
(7 + 7 = 14
Plus 1 = 15)
Next, use the equations below and figure out the answer using known facts, doubles and near double strategies.
10 – 9 =
14 – 7 =
19 – 9 =
10 – 3 =
16 – 8 =
15 – 7 =
10 – 6 =
18 – 9 =
7 – 3 =
10 – 5 =
6 – 3 =
9 – 4 =
10 – 2 =
8 – 4 =
5 – 2 =
10 – 4 =
4 – 2 =
13 – 6 =
Then, think about using this strategy if the digits increase in place value. For example:
100 – 90 =
140 – 70 =
190 – 90 =
100 – 30 =
160 – 80 =
150 – 70 =
100 – 60 =
180 – 90 =
70 – 30 =
100 – 50 =
60 – 30 =
90 – 40 =
100 – 20 =
80 – 40 =
50 – 20 =
100 – 40 =
40 – 20 =
130 – 60 =
Finally, set a timer for 3 minutes and practise your skip counting in you book going forward and backwards. Focus on the ones you know you need to work on.
First off a bit of fun, today is crazy hair and/or silly hat day for 3/4s.
You have all have been amazingly flexible and resilient in adapting to our return to remote and flexible learning and we wanted to celebrate this today with a bit of cranium craziness. So come to your small groups with your craziest hair style or silliest hat. Plus your teachers are inviting all students to join their class get together at 12 o’clock to share bickies, lunch or snacks. It’ll also be a chance to view the cranium craziness.
Also if anyone has any pictures, drawings, models, stories or working outs you want to share from any of this week’s work please remember you can email them to your teachers.
Today:
All students are to join their small group Webex meeting. If you can’t join the group at that time, please let your teacher know!
we’ve also added some interesting maths challenges on Mathletics you might want to check out.
Finally, I know I said be prepared for rain yesterday, maybe it will happen today. If it does you’ll still need to get some exercise, maybe try something inside!

Goal: I can visualise as I read.
Today we are going to be focusing on visualising as we read. When we read we often create a mental picture in our minds to go with the words. This helps us understand the text further.
Next, draw a picture of what you visualised as you read the text. Find 5 words or phrases from the text that helped you with the visualisation.
Finally, you may want to draw about what you do when you wake up in the morning. What’s your routine like? Remember to write some descriptive sentences to go along with your picture.

Goal: I can use addition and subtraction to create number sentences.
Today you are going to play date maths!
Date Maths
Using only the digits in today’s date e.g. 4/6/2021 write number sentences that add up to the amounts 1-20! The only rule is that the digits can only be used once.
First, record the digits for today’s date:
Digits: 0 1 2 2 4 6
Next, write addition and subtraction number sentences, or equations, that would add up to each amount from 1-20. For example:
2 – 1 = 1
2 + 0 = 2
1 + 2 = 3
???? = 4
???? = 5
all the way up to = 20
If you think that is a little easy for you, then give yourself a challenge!
Try and make some number sentences (including the answer) that uses every digit in today’s date. Can it be done?
Can you make a number sentence using these digits (including the answer) that uses all four mathematical operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division)?
How many 6 digit numbers can be made out of the digits of today’s date? Can you make them all and put them in order from smallest to largest?

Goal:I can practice mindfulness.
First, Mindful Breathing: Tune into your body by laying on the floor and slowly breathing. Try feeling for your heartbeat. Can you find it? Is it going fast or slow? If it’s going fast, try and focus on taking mindful breaths and see if you can slow it down. Find someone else in your house and show them how to lay down and take some mindful breaths with them, then try and feel for their heartbeat. Is it the same as yours? Encourage them to take some mindful breaths with you.
Next, Mindful Drawing: Draw a scribble using just one line and then colour it in using different colours.
Finally, if you are looking for some follow up mindfulness activities, check out the following pages on the MPPS mindfulness blog:
Hi 3/4s, your teachers had a meeting yesterday and we all shared how well everyone was going. We are so grateful to have such enthusiastic and engaged students with such supportive families. After yesterday’s mindfulness lesson we’d like to know what you are grateful for. Please share during your small group meetings.
Also remember if anyone has any pictures, drawings, models, stories or working outs you want to share please remember you can email them to your teachers.
Today:
All students are to join their small group Webex meeting. If you can’t join the group at that time, please let your teacher know!
12:00pm – 1:00pm – Your teacher’s Webex room will be open if you want to pop in to ask a question or have a chat!
