P6 Numeracy 9th March
Warm-up activity
For today's warm-up, can you create different questions which have the answer 18? Look carefully at the examples and see if you can up with at least 10 questions of your own (and don't make them too easy!). Try to use a variety of calculations (add, subtract, multiply, divide, bracket sums, fractions, etc.) and perhaps you could create some word problems too! Perhaps you will create some questions which look fiendishly difficult but, remember, the answer must be 18!
When you've finished, don't forget to take a photograph of your work and email it to your teacher please. We love to see your work!
Main activity
Yesterday we were learning how to add decimal numbers with 2 decimal places (hundredths) so now it's time to look at subtraction. Watch today's video where Mrs Bell show you how to set out your questions and then choose your level and download today's task.
Remember, if a number does not already include a decimal point, you can add a decimal point after the number and then add one or more zeros
e.g. 15 = 15.0 = 15.00 (think about money - £15 is the same as £15.00)
If a number only has one number after the decimal point (tenths), you can add another zero after the tenths to turn it into hundredths
e.g. 25.6 = 25.60 48.2 = 48.20
EXAMPLE 1
If a question said 
when I set it out, this would become
Before I begin to do my working out, I need to add a zero after the 45.6 so that there is a digit in the hundredths
EXAMPLE 2
If a question said 
when I set it out, this would become
Before I begin to do my working out, I need to add a decimal point and then two zeros after the 53 so that there are digits in both the tenths and the hundredths
Reasoning activity
For today's reasoning activity, take a look at the results of a survey and see if you can explain the results.
