Year 4 homework to be handed in on Thursday 24th September

Thank you for decorating your homework book. Please finish this if you have not yet done it.

Maths

This week we have focused on learning how to regroup in column addition. This happens if the ones add up to more than 9 - so we need to regroup into 1 ten and ones OR if the tens add up to more than 9 - meaning we need to regroup into 1 hundred and tens.

We have practised lots of these in class - show your parents how confident you are!

Please use a pencil and use a ruler for the equals line at the bottom. The first 5 calculations have regrouping in either the ones or tens column.

The second 5 have regrouping in both the ones and tens.

Please ensure your hundreds, tens and ones are lined up underneath each other.

Always add the ones first. Then tens. Then hundreds. See the example below for how we regroup (or carry) at our school and please set out like this:

48 + 45 = 263 + 82 = 235 + 245 = 312 + 493 = 594 + 395 =

85 + 57 = 93 + 78 = 346 + 456 = 482 + 79 = 688 + 112 =

Spelling

Year 3/4 key words we have learned this week are all homophones - These are words which sound the same but have a different spelling and meaning.

he’ll / heel / heal their/there/they’re weather/ whether ate/eight

whose/who’s witch/which piece/ peace through/ threw too/ to/ two

Please create a page in your homework book which is a homophone poster - showing the 2 or 3 words and their meanings as a picture.

You can do more than one homophone if you wish. Here are some examples from your books in class:

Challenge!

See if you can write some sentences which contain both homophones.

For example:

I ate eight cakes.

Optional Homework

Here are a few lovely ideas linked to what we will be studying this half-term. Why not give them a go?

Year 4 homework to be handed in on Thursday 17th September

Thank you for decorating your homework book. Please finish this if you have not yet done it.

Maths

This week we have focused on learning how to lay out column addition properly on squared paper so that it can be easily added in columns.

Children have been given some squared paper and need to set out the following calculations in columns as shown in the example below.

Please use a pencil and use a ruler for the equals line at the bottom. The first 4 calculations have the answers given - simply to practise layout.

The second 4 do not have answers so you will need to calculate.

Please ensure your hundreds, tens and ones are lined up underneath each other.

Always add the ones first. Then tens. Then hundreds. This concept is vital for our work on carrying next week.

23 + 45 = 68 63 + 45 = 108 235 + 24 = 259

202+392 = 594

35 + 51 = 13 + 71 = 312 + 456 = 45 + 333 =

Spelling

Year 3/4 key words we have learned this week.

believe    enough    answer     century     question   actually  decide   quarter    describe    earth   favourite  breathe   different     island calendar important interest though although

We have looked up the meaning of these words and studied them to find the tricky bits within each word. We often SAY them HOW we spell them to help us remember.

In your homework books:

1. Pick 10 of these words that you need to practise

2. Copy one word down carefully. (best joined handwriting)

3. Use a highlighter or different colour pen to underline the ‘tricky bit’ of the word.

4. Then copy it 2 more times.

5. Repeat with the other 9 words you picked

   Optional:

   Spelling Detectives Game that we play in class!

   You could write these words on post it notes and stick them around your house. Put our detective music on (The Pink panther) and look at one of your words. Come away from it and write it from memory. This teaches your brain to visualise and remember it.

Sticky Grid method that we play in class!

Show your parents how we draw a grid and practise our words by:

SO SORRY - I have not given homework books out! I will give them on Monday.

World book day

Don’t forget to come dressed as a book character you love on Thursday. You can come dressed as anything to do with books in fact. If, for example, your favourite books are non-fiction about penguins - you can come dressed as a penguin! If you love Beano comics - come as Beano. You might like football books - dress as a footballer! fairy books, detective books,…. the list is endless!

We would love it if you could bring in one book on World Book Day that YOU ABSOLUTELY LOVE from home. You will get chance to show the class and read it with someone.

It does not have to be a novel - it could be a recipe book, a book for younger children, a graphic novel, a comic, your favourite facts book, a book about your favourite singer, a book about Minecraft - anything goes!

Maths

There are two sheets in your homework book to complete about divisibility rules. We have learned that:

You can tell if a number is divisible by 3 by adding the digits together. If the digit sum is a multiple of 3 the whole number is divisible by 3/is a multiple of 3.

For example 245 is not a multiple of three because 2+4+5 - 11. Eleven is not a multiple of 3.

Whereas 4512 is a mutliple of 3 because 4+5+1+2 = 12 - which is a multiple of 3.

You can tell if the number is divisible by 6/a multiple of six. For starters, it has to be an EVEN number. Then when you add the difgit sum, it totals to a multiple of 3.

For instance, straight away we know 1325 cannot be divisible by six bacuse it is not EVEN.

6588 might be divisible by six because it is even. When you add the digits, 6+5 +8+8 = 27 it must be divisible by 6 because this number is a multiple of 3.
