Homework 2019

Each week, students will receive a double-sided page including a spelling list, and a list of basic number facts which should be practiced each night through “look, cover, say, write, check” in their homework book. It also contains a choice of two word problems to solve using the mathematical problem solving sheet. I encourage flexible thinking, and using more than one method to prove the answer. The remainder of the sheet has several short activities relating to the previous weeks learning, or current events. Students can tick a box for each day they have read something at home.

Students seeking additional work are encouraged to complete online activities such as ‘Mathletics’ or ‘Reading Eggs’ which provide instant feedback and can adjust the difficulty to an appropriate level of challenge. I will share activities and games on this blog as I discover them that may be of interest or benefit.
