I Can Check Strategies and Spot Errors

When solving more challenging problems we want to make sure we are checking our jottings to ensure our answers are correct. We can do this through using the inverse or looking for simple errors in written methods.

Wacth the video “Checking Strategies” below and solve the problems.

Expanded Noun Phrases Recap

Noun Phrases Relative Pronoun Expansion The grey man who was made of stone.

Mrs Price’s example:

This is the tale of a courageous man who is unlike any you will have ever heard of. His beginnings began humbly. At the top of the tallest mountain, a great wizard surveyed the stone around him. Formed from the heaviest rock that the wizard could find, he bagan to chizzle away at the smooth stone. Emerging from the mound was the face of a gentle giant that would later make the greatest sacrifice. When finished, the wizard surveyed his greatest masterpiece yet – a collosal, stone man. With a flick of his oak wand, the great mounds of snow that were around him swirled to life. Surrounding the stone man, the snow slowly fell to his feet and settled. Blinking his first slow blink, the stone man was complete. He was alive and ready to take on his quest.

Checking strategies

1 Circle the subtractions that can be used to check the

addition 271 + 516 = 787

787 − 271 516 − 271 271 − 787 787 − 516

2 Circle the additions that can be used to check the subtraction

2,364 – 1,202 = 1,162

2,364 + 1,202 1,162 + 1,202 2,364 + 1,162 1,202 + 1,162

623 + 1,240 = 1,863

1,860 + 1,240 = 3,100

1,860 + 623 = 2,483

3,100 − 2,483 = 617

2,483 − 617 = 1,866

2,483 − 623 = 1,860

2,483 + 617 = 3,100

3,100 − 1,860 = 1,240

617 + 1,866 = 2,483

1,863 − 1,240 = 623

Wigan Music Service Whole Class Instrumental Lessons at Home PERCUSSION

Listen Up! We have discussed the snare drum and the drum-kit, but we are now going to talk about the drummer from the world-famous band The Beatles, Ringo Starr!

Let’s see him in action on Youtube, a video featuring lots of little clips of him drumming when The Beatles first formed in the 1960’s:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvvfeRECuII

Have a think about the following points as you watch:

- Do you recognise any of the songs?

- Do you know any of the other Beatles’ names?

- What sort of music are they playing?

- What instruments are included in the group?

- Do you recognise the parts of the drum-kit from our previous research?

Make Some Music Have a listen to this piece of music on Youtube, featuring Ringo Starr behind the drums in 1969 (Ringo is third from the left in the famous “Abbey Road” album cover picture, a studio in London where the album was recorded):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3SBBWIxGZA

This introduction to this song is a very famous drum-beat, perhaps Ringo’s most famous. What makes it interesting do you think? You can hear two light cymbal hits, then a little “sizzle” on the hi-hat followed by a very fast drum roll around the two tom-toms he uses. Have a look at how it is played in this demonstration (the intro is up to around 20 seconds in):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1z4Ildj5Rk

We are going to try to count/clap/tap this rhythm using words and phrases which may help us. You could set up a little mini-drum kit with old plastic tubs, and something old and metallic like an old saucepan for the cymbals. You’ll need two cymbals (saucepans) and two drums (plastic containers) to play the whole thing.

The rhythm can be broken down into these four phrases repeated four times:

co-ffee / straw-be-rry jam / straw-be-rry mar-mal-ade / straw-be-rry jam

We need to say the “straw-be-rry” and ”mar-ma-lade” very fast. These are three notes joined together called ‘triplets’ and are the parts Ringo plays fast on the hi-hat (strawberry jam) then the tom-toms (strawberry marmalade / strawberry jam). This is quite a difficult concept so don’t worry if you don’t get it as first. Try just saying the phrases slowly at first, ignoring the music, and perhaps tap on your legs or a cushion.
