Week beginning 18 th May 2020 Maths Home Learning Monday Print this table or draw your own table and fill it in using things around your house.

If you don’t have a ruler or a tape measure at home, maybe you could estimate and measure using another method – perhaps pasta shells or shreddies!

Wednesday Reasoning and problem-solving questions

Thursday Thinking about different measurements – metres or centimetres?

Friday Can you think of a way to measure your height? You could use anything around the house to measure it and track it while you are learning at home. If you’ve tracked your height, I wonder if you could measure somebody else in your house and compare your heights? I wonder if you have already grown lots, and if you will grow any more?

For example, I am about the same height as 177 Lego bricks but my friend is just over 168 Lego bricks! Wow! That means I am taller than my friend. How many Lego bricks taller am i?
