Maths Challenge - Friday 26th June

Hi year 4,
For our maths challenge today we will look at some problem solving questions. These will focus on a variety of maths areas. For each question I will give you a tip to help you solve the problem. I will post the answers to the blog shortly.


Q1. Tip: To find the missing numbers look at two numbers next to each other and try to figure out what they go up or down in.

Q2. Tip: Think about what fractions are equivalent to 1/3. The ones that are will have a denominator 3 times bigger than the numerator.

Q3. Tip: Remember when adding or subtracting fractions the denominator stays the same.

Q4. Tip: One of the shapes is NOT a 3D shape. I would do this one first.

Q5. Tip: Use column addition. Be careful with letter A as you have a two and three digit number to add.

Q6. Tip: If you can't remember the 24 hour clock times there is a table to help you here:
24 Hour Table

Good morning year 4,

Welcome to today's lesson which will focus on the features of a setting description.

Here is the video lesson:

Lesson 3 - Features

Again we will be using the same setting description we have been using throughout the week so far:

Here are your questions about the features. Here are a couple of things to help you:

1. Subordinate clauses are extra bits of information added into a sentence using commas.
2. Figurative language includes things like similes, metaphor and personification which are added to a sentence to give a more vivid description.
