To read, write and order whole numbers to at least 1000

To count on or back in tens and hundreds from any two or three digit number

To know what each digit represents

By the end of this unit, you could be able to:

2007-06-11T12:08:00.000-07:00

This week's objectives are:

To identify doubles and also near doubles already known
To halve numbers where the double is known
To understand and use £.p notation

By the end of this unit, you could be able to:

Home learning

Try this activity out at home to see whether or not you can apply what you have learned in the lesson:

Find a till receipt and highlight prices under 50p (at least five items).
Imagine that all prices have doubled. Howmuch will the items cost now? Now find two prices between 50p and £1. Do the same as above.

Weblinks

http://www.wmnet.org.uk/resources/gordon/Hit%20the%20button%20v9.swf click on any of the buttons to practice some of your doubling skills. How many can you finish in one minute? Try having a competition with your friends and record the quickest time over the week.

http://pbskids.org/cyberchase/games/doubling/index.html double the number of doughnuts for the dragon...can you spot the pattern for doubling a number twenty times?

http://www.freewebtown.com/weddell/mw/doubling/contents.swf click on doubling a two or three digit number

http://ngfl.northumberland.gov.uk/maths/num%20machine/double.html click and type the number you want to double in the space at the top left hand side and then press return. Can you calculate the answer before the computer?

http://ngfl.northumberland.gov.uk/maths/num%20machine/halver.html exactly the same as the previous site, but this time, remember to halve the numbers!

http://www.crickweb.co.uk/assets/resources/flash.php?&file=crazyc a real challenge! Try to make the target number in as few steps as possible, by doubling and halving the initial digit.
