Good morning Class 4!
It’s Friday which means you have completed another week of home learning! I am SO impressed with how well you have been doing! I know it is not easy to learn this way but the fact that you have all been logging on each day and completing the tasks proves just how hard-working you all are!
Please find today’s maths task below…
WORKBOOK: 4A
CHAPTER: 6
WORKSHEETS: 11 and 12
EXTENSION: Worksheet 13 Solving Word Problems
Top Tip: Remember to find a fraction of an amount we divide by the bottom and times by the top.
So, to find 2/5 of 20 you need to do
20 ÷ 5 = 4
Then times your answer (4) by the top (the numerator)
4 x 2 = 8
So, your answer is 8
CHALLENGE: Today you have a choice of two challenges…
For all of you football fans, why not try this ‘Maths Of The Day’ challenge by clicking the link below:

Or, have a go at the Mind Workout on page 182.
Remember to ask for help or a hint if you need it!
Subtracting Fractions
First it might help to imagine the two chocolate bars made up of 10 equal pieces.
It is quite tricky to do 2 – 5/12 so to make it easier we convert the two wholes to 1 12/12 (it is still the same amount but we have taken one of the wholes and written it as 12/12 because the chocolate bar is made up of 12 pieces).
Now we can do 1 12/12 – 5/12
Just like when we add fractions, when we subtract fractions if the denominators are the same we don’t change them.
Then we subtract the numerators.
12 – 5 = 7
Let’s look at one more example together…
Both denominators are 6 so they stay the same.
Now we need to subtract the numerators.

Don’t forget you can ask for help with the worksheets or challenges, that is what I am here for!
Good luck and have a wonderful weekend!

Hello Miss Lee, I have completed the pages and did the Mind Workout as a challenge.
Sophie
Very speedy Sophie, well done! Have a lovely weekend!
finished my worksheets .
and I have done the challenge .
Great work Emilie! Have a wonderful weekend!
have a wonderful weekend too??
Thank you Emilie! 🙂
all done
Super! Well done Giordano!
i finished
Great work Martin!
I have done everything. Though will we continue fractions next week? Calculating fractions are so much fun.
(Not that it’s easy) thanks, Stella
Super work, well done!
We will complete fractions on Monday and then move onto something else! I am glad you have enjoyed our fractions learning!
Hello Miss Lee! I have done the mnp
Great well done Holly!
I have finished the math pages.
Well done Ajay!
Hello miss
I need a little help whith question three on page 177
Of course! Let me just have a look at it!
So, lets look at 3 (a) first.
The question is 2 – 2/10
This is quite tricky to do so first we need to write 2 wholes in a different way.
Since we are subtracting 2/10 we should make sure we have some tenths to subtract from.
10/10 makes 1 whole. We have 2 wholes so we can write it like this:
1 10/10 (one and ten tenths)
Now we can subtract 2/10
The 1 stays the same, the denominator stays the same so we just need to do 10 – 2 = 8
So, our answer is 1 8/10 (one and eight tenths)
We now need to write it in the simplest form.
The 1 whole does not change, we only simplify the fraction.
The fraction says 8/10 so we need to find the largest possible number that goes into 8 and 10
4 goes into 8 but not into 10
2 goes into 8 AND 10!
Divide the top (8) and bottom (10) but 2…
8 divided by 2 = 4
10 divided by 2 = 5
So now our fraction is 4/5 (four fifths)
Don’t forget the 1 at the front!
Our answer is 1 4/5 (one and four fifths)
I hope that makes sense, if it doesn’t let me know and I can draw it out on some square paper and upload it onto the blog!
