Year 2 focus on dividing by 2,5 and 10
Year 3 focus on dividing by 3, 4 and 8
Year 2
Today we are dividing by 10. Again the video clearly shows the link between multiplication and division, so if we can recall our 10 times tables it will help you solve dividing by 5 division problems accurately.
There again is a Challenge for all and 1 , 2 or 3 Star sheets if you want a further challenge
Year 3
How Many ways?
Today we shall be systematically listing the possible combinations resulting from two groups of objects. You can use practical equipment and make sure you are systematic and logical as you approach each problem. Try to calculate the total number of ways without listing all the possibilities. e.g. Each T-shirt can be matched with 4 pairs of trousers so altogether 3 × 4 = 12 outfits.
Watch the video and complete the Year 3 Challenge for all, T - shirt Challenge or the Ice Cream Challenge. Remember to challenge yourself.

Kevin is very good at three things – can you remember what they were? Clinging, napping and munching on leaf-buns! What three things are you very good at? What skill do you think you might need to improve?
What was Kevin afraid of? (change) How did his friends help him? This might be an opportunity for your child/children to talk about all the changes that are happening now in their own lives and how these make them feel.
How did Kevin feel at the end of the story? What does it mean to have a ‘CAN-DO’ attitude?
There are some Growth mindset colouring sheets to download or the children could try and copy one of the sayings.
