Maths – Two-day project
For the next two days you have a project to complete. I would like you to watch the video again from Monday, the video can be found with this link https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zmcpscw.
The children there explain how to carry out a division. What I like about it is that they explain why you do what you do.
For example: the girl says that 6 divided by 3 is 2 so 600 divided by 3 is 200.
This is really good reasoning and shows that the children understand what they are doing.
I would like you to create your own video showing us how to divide or multiply using the written method.
Here are some calculations you can use (you only need to use 1 for your video):
- 5,263 x 6 =
- 2,152 x 3=
- 2,136 ÷ 6=
- 3,720 ÷ 8 =
Make sure you practise the calculations first so that you know how to explain it in the video. Make sure you are not making mistakes when explaining the calculation.
Here is a link to a free video editing app for Android it is easy to use and relatively intuitive. https://play.google.com/store/apps/detailsid=com.cerdillac.filmmaker&hl=en_GB
There are lots of other ones out there that you can play with.
If you do not have access to anything that you can make a video with, then you can prepare a presentation to someone at home to explain to them how to do one of the calculations.
Once you have finished, please email your video to:
office@coldean.brighton-hove.sch.uk.
We will try to display them on the website next week.

Fill in the sheet and tell me all about your favourite song. I look forward to hearing about them. If you click on the audio instructions for the task you can hear one of my favourite songs and my reason for liking it.
Extension: If you want you can try making a version of your song here, or one like it.
