Maths: Friday 1st May

In maths today, click on the link above and it should take you to a mymaths investigation about frogs moving on lily pads. There are instructions so follow them carefully. To make it easier, start off with just 2 frogs on either end of the lily pads (you'll need to go to page 3 on mymaths and adjust it yourself. You can gradually build up the number of frogs at each end to make it more difficult. If you want to take it further here are some questions to think about:

Can you see any patterns in the sequence of moves that it takes to swap the frogs over?
Can you explain why those patterns occur?
Can you describe a method for swapping all the frogs over in the minimum number of moves?

Thursday 30^th April

Hello year 5. Today it is Captain Tom’s 100^th birthday! He has recently broken TWO world records: the oldest ever person to get a number one single in the UK charts, and has raised the most money ever doing an individual charity walk! What an achievement! So when you go out this evening to give the NHS a clap, think of Tom. Nathaniel in 5EW has made a fabulous card for him – well done Nathaniel.
