Week 6 of Activities
April 27 - May 1
This week we continue to work on geometry and continue developing strategies for adding and subtracting two-digit numbers. During your child's 2 hours (or more) of work on Math this week, please have your child:
If time permits, you could have your child:
If you're needing reminders about different strategies we've worked on in class for two-digit addition and subtraction, you can check out this video.
- Complete the two numeracy assignments for this week
- Work through the video mini lessons below
- Complete some of the worksheets (either the grade level ones, more challenging, or less challenging)
If time permits, you could have your child:
- Play the games for this week (or previous weeks)
- Practice their addition and subtraction skills using the worksheets or games in the basic facts section below
- Read through the Mathology book for this week Sharing Our Stories
- Play the online math games on the Math Links Page

Numeracy Assignments for Week 6
To be submitted to Mrs. Barker by the end of the week
Assignment 1: Plan Your Shopping Trip
|
The Toy Store
If you shop at this store, you have $100 to spend! Choose what items you want to buy and add up how much they will cost in total. Then, subtract what you're spending from your $100 to see how much money you'll have left!
The Less Expensive Toy Store
If you shop at this store, you have $40 to spend! Choose what items you want to buy and add up how much they will cost in total. Then, subtract what you're spending from your $40 to see how much money you'll have left!

Math Worksheets
Click here to download the different worksheets for this week. If you have access to a printer, you can print them off, but if you don't your child can answer the questions on their own piece of paper.
All of the worksheets are also available on Seesaw Class if it's easier for your child to complete them there.
If your child is finding the worksheets much too challenging or much too easy, there are more or less challenging worksheets at the bottom of this week's activities (further down this page).
My intention is not for your child to finish all of these worksheets, but to use these to supplement the mini-lessons, word problems, and games and provide some extra practice for your child. Please don't feel pressured to have your child complete all eight!

Video Mini-Lessons
Math Discussion Prompts
This slideshow has a collection of prompts that can inspire mathematical discussions that you and your children can have before bed, at dinner, or anytime. Each prompt shows you and your child a problem.
Sometimes there is one right answer and sometimes there are many right answers. The purpose of each question is to generate a discussion about how you determined an answer. If you find one answer, try to find another.

Games
Here are some new games to play this week to practice some of the skills we've been working on. You can check out the games from previous weeks on those math pages as well!
Basic Facts Practice
Click here to download this week's basic facts sheets to practice our fact fluency. Our goal when we work on these is to get as many does as we can, and to try to get them done a tiny bit faster each time we practice. I usually give them 10 minutes and then we stop, but because students will be doing them at home you could use a stopwatch and help your chid time how long it takes to complete all the questions.
If you do not have a printer you could write out one column of equations for your child or read the equations to them and have them tell you the answers.
Below the sheets are some links to games that would also help your child gain automaticity in calculating their basic facts if that is a way to practice that works well for your child.

Book and Activities (Optional)
Click on the book Sharing Our Stories on the right, and read it with your child. (Click here to access a PDF of the book if you can't read it online.)
As you read, encourage your child to:
Choose 1-3 of the below activities to work on with your child Shape I Spy Invite your child to identify 2-D shapes through a game of I Spy. For example, if your child sees a triangle, he/she might say, “I spy a shape with 3 sides.” Encourage him/her to give increasingly detailed clues that include lines of symmetry (e.g., “I spy a shape with 4 vertices (corners) and 2 lines of symmetry”). Symmetrical Designs Invite your child to create a symmetrical design. Provide her/him with a blank sheet of paper or grid paper and draw a line down the middle (either horizontally or vertically). Remind your child that both sides/halves of the paper have to match (same shapes, same colours, same design). |
Shape Treasure Hunt
Encourage your child to look for shapes around your home and on the way to school, and to record what she/he finds using words and drawings. Challenge your child to find 2-D shapes on 3-D solids and record them as well (e.g., the rectangular side of a toaster, the square on the bottom of a milk carton). Invite your child to bring his/her findings to school and share them with the class. Try the online Exploring Symmetry activity by clicking here |
