You will need to show me in your maths books what it is that you have been practising. For example – if you still need to practise writing decimals as fractions, complete this in our homework books. If you still need to work on division – use arrays to help you answer some tricky questions. It can be anything from the timestable that you are stuck on – remember to write these out one at a time, or it can be using equivalent fractions…anything that your math goal might be or something that you have in the red traffic light. Task 2: make a list of anywhere or anything that you would see decimals being used in everyday life. Don’t forget to record your reading in your diary! Write the title of the book in each day, even if you just read a page, record the page number/s that you read or how long you read for. Then get mum or dad to sign your diary once a week. This is taking responsibility for your learning and also gets you into practice of using your diary every day! This is a great life skill. TASK: Ask your mum or dad, or other family members if they use a diary and how important this might be in their jobs/school etc. Write down their responses to your questions in your homework book. Why do you think it is an important skill to have/use?
