Today we are learning to: Make equal groups

Look at these apples. We can say: There are 2 equal groups with 3 in each group. There are 6 apples altogether.

Can you find another way to represent these groups. What objects in your house could you use ? Could you make 2 groups of 3 crayons or 2 groups of 3 grapes ? You can use anything you like. When you have come up with several ways to represent these groups you could make some different sets of equal groups e.g. 5 groups of 2  or 6 groups of 4. When you have made them take a photo and email the photo to me so I can see what you have done.

If you would like an extra challenge then you can watch this lesson and try these problems:

LO: Adding 10 using a number line
We have learnt to add 1s on a number line. Now we are going to learn to add 10s on a number line. We already know how to add 10s using the 100 square but a number line will help us when we want to add larger numbers.

Follow these instructions then work out the calculations.

16 + 20 =
18 + 40 =
23 + 30 =
21 + 50 =
45 + 30 =
39 + 60 =
62 + 20 =
57 + 30 =
36 + 40 =
68 + 50 =

Extra Challenge:

Choose 2 of these numbers to add together:
32    40     6     20

How many different totals can you make ?
What is the greatest number you can make ?
What is the smallest number you can make ?
