Maths

Room 3 has been busy learning division. What is division? Division is when we take a larger group and split it into smaller equal groups. These students have managed to learn the concept of equal share. 

Home Practice

To consolidate the learning, the following activities will allow the students to practise division  and multiplication problems in a real-life scenario.

Increasing and decreasing: 

If you need to double a recipe, (or increase it by 3x, or 1 ½ x or 10x) you can ask your child to figure out how much of each thing is needed now. You can do the same if you need to halve a recipe or only mix up half of a packet of something. 

Solving Problems: 
How many eggs are in 3 dozen? How do you figure that out?
How much yogurt do you actually get in a 6 pack? How much is in the big container?
If you unrolled the whole roll of cling wrap about how far would it stretch?
If we spend $180 for a week’s groceries, about how much per day do we spend on food?
Look at the receipt; what part of our food bill is the most expensive?
