This week we are doing the following in our maths lessons:
1. Multiplying by 10, 100, 1000
2. Dividing by 10, 100, 1000
It is important that you do NOT just "add a zero" or "take away a zero" when multplying or dividing by 10 and 100 because this strategy does NOT work with decimal numbers. When you multiply numbers by 10, you are making them 10 times bigger. When you are dividing by 10, you are making numbers 10 times smaller.
Example: 25 divided by 10 is 2.5
We will also be doing work on MULTPLES and common multiples this week.
As I was off ill yesterday I have asked the class to give in last week´s literacy homework (adjectives) next Monday with this week´s homework (verbs and comprehension).
Here is a website to practise multiplying and dividing.
