Maths – week beginning 1st June

Starter: Odd and even numbers

Play this game to practise your odd and even numbers

LO: Make equal groups

Pencils come in packs of 20. We need to put 5 in each pot. How many pots do we need?

We could solve this by putting our 20 pencils into groups of 5. We then count how many groups we made:

There are 20 pencils.
There are 5 in each pot.
There are 4 pots altogether.

We could also count in 5s to see how many 5s in 20:
5     10     15     20 – there are four 5s in 20

Task: Work out how many pots you would need if you had:

1. 30 pencils with 5 in each pot
2. 15 pencils with 5 in each pot.
3. 25 pencils with 5 in each pot.
4. 12 pencils with 2 in each pot.
5. 22 pencils with 2 in each pot.
6. 30 pencils with 10 in each pot.
7. 40 pencils with 10 in each pot.
8. 15 pencils with 3 in each pot.
9. 21 pencils with 3 in each pot.
10. 24 pencils with 4 in each pot.

Problem of the week!
