Measurement
Revising how to convert between units:
Volume
Thursday 23rd June:
Independent Tasks:
1. Volume Task Cards
Solve at least six cards in your Maths book, recording the length, width and height for each shape and then calculating the total volume.
2. Use MAB blocks to create a rectangular prism. Create a short Explain Everything Video showing how to calculate the volume of your shape (pointing out what you mean by length, width and height while explain how to do it). OPTIONAL CHALLENGE: Find an object in the classroom that is a rectangular prism, and include in your Explain Everything Video how you calculate the volume of that item.
*This video needs to be uploaded to your Weebly. (Save to Camera Roll first).

Week 10 homework: add these green measurements!
Monday 20th June: Formative
Minecraft Maths!
We are using Minecraft to help practise calculating area and perimeter. Before going on to any challenges, you need to prove that you can do two basic rectangles, with a variety of materials, and calculate the area and perimeter. Take a quality screenshot, then move on to a Minecraft Challenge!
Calculating Area:
Calculating the area of composite shapes:
1. Finish worksheet from yesterday.
2. Check your answers here: Answers to irregular shape worksheet If you got some wrong, please re-do them and see if you can get them right this time! (Draw shape in your Maths book, labelling the measurements.
3. Maths Online: (If not feeling confident, watch the videos first, otherwise go straight to the questions).
#2542 “Area of composite shapes”
#3272 “Area of composite shapes I”
4. Extra practice: Calculating the area of irregular shapes
How can we calculate the area of shapes that are not rectangular?
Use your knowledge of calculating the area of rectangles!

Area of a Triangle:
After watching this video then have a go at Maths Online Video #2676 "Area of a Triangle". If you're still a bit confused, watch the video. If you're good to go, do the questions. (All working out needs to be done in your Maths book - draw the triangle and label the measurements that you know, then set your sums out NEATLY.)
Done? Please get the worksheet from the front red table to practise calculating the area of a triangle.
Done? Stick it in your Maths book! Then go on to the Polygon challenge...
Polygon Challenge: How many polygons (shapes) can you make with an area of 12 square centimetres? Grab some centimetre grid paper and get drawing! Below is an example of how to set your work out neatly.. Label as many shapes as you can, like in this example!

Parts of a circle
Learning Intention: To be able to identify the origin, radius, diameter and circumference of a circle, and to understand the concept of Pi.
Watch this video once, then come and collect the notes page from the front of the room. Watch the video again and try to fill in the blank parts of the sheet.
Parts of a circle:
After completing the notes sheet, go to Maths Online and watch video #2646 "Parts of a Circle". Complete the questions.
Done? Complete the "Radius and Diameter" worksheet (on the front table).
Done? Complete the "Radius and Diameter" worksheet (on the front table).
Calculating the Circumference of a Circle
Tuesday 18th June: Area and Circumference of a Circle:
Watch this video and record in your Maths book how to calculate both the AREA and CIRCUMFERENCE of a circle.
Calculating Circumference of a Circle:
If you are unsure, watch Maths Online videos:
Circumference: #3282
Then complete these questions in your Maths book. You do not need to draw the circle in your Maths book, but you need to set your work out neatly, exactly like the example! (Don't forget a heading & the date.)
If you are unsure, watch Maths Online videos:
Circumference: #3282
Then complete these questions in your Maths book. You do not need to draw the circle in your Maths book, but you need to set your work out neatly, exactly like the example! (Don't forget a heading & the date.)
Calculating the area of a circle:
1. Watch Maths Online video #3284 then do the questions - remember to show all working out in your Maths book.
2. Solve the questions below
2. Solve the questions below
3. Get the printed worksheet (both area and circumference) from the front table.
Perimeter
Instructions for Warm-Up Game: Island Conquer - Perimeter:
Tetris Perimeter:
Here are seven tetris shapes, made up of four squares each. Which shape has the longest perimeter?
Estimate first, then calculate the perimeter of each shape to see if you are correct. (Each side of the small squares = 1cm).
Write a short paragraph to explain your results and any questions or thoughts you have.

Measuring the perimeter of irregular shapes:
For these questions you need to complete them in order. Do not be fooled by extra measurements that you don't actually need!
All working out should be done in your Maths book.
Task cards
Multiplying & Dividing by Powers of 10
To help with converting between units of measurement, we need to be confident with multiplying & dividing decimal numbers by 10, 100 and 1000.
Independent Tasks
After playing partner game you can choose any of the following to go on with:
Worksheet (on front table)
#2604 Multiplying by 10, 100 or 1000
#2606 Dividing by 10, 100, 1000
IXL Practise Questions (Don't be fooled if the question is set out like long multiplication! You can still do it mentally!)
