Tuesday - Home Learning

Konnichiwa Year 5!

Special mentions this morning to Alima, Oliul and Emaan. Alima for sending in her wonderful literacy work. She compared directors and authors. Alima thought really carefully and came up with some great similarities and differences. I also wanted to special mention Oliul and Emaan because they both needed to do catching up with the blog for me. So when we spoke on the phone yesterday, they both shared some of the work they have been doing. I wanted to say that I am very proud of their hard work and showing me their growth mindsets. Keep up the hard work, well done everyone :)

Please send me the work you most enjoyed to: admin@virginia.towerhamlets.sch.uk


Our Learning Today

Literacy:
Lo: to write a letter

Today I would like you to use your plan to write a letter home to your family back in Mali. Remember to read over  your plan and think about the ideas you had. Use them in your letter. Your letter will need organisational devices to show that it is a letter. An address in the top right-hand corner, a date, dear and a sign off. A sign off to someone you know is usually - yours sincerely. 

Here is my example if you need a bit of inspiration. You can magpie ideas but please do not copy.

Maths:
Lo: to interpret data on charts and tables

Let's start off with some CLIC questions:
485,634 + 244,599
892,001 - 456,832
162 x 183
7541 ÷ 46

Yesterday we looked at bar charts and analysed the data. Today we are going to continue to analyse data but we will look at a new selection of charts, graphs and tables.

Numerical data can be shown in many different ways. Have a look at these:

In the picture above, we have a pictogram which shows data with little pictures. We have a tally chart which shows data collected with little lines. We have a pie chart which shows data around a circle shape in percentages. We have a line graph which shows data moving up and down a line. Finally we have bar chart which shows data with bars.

Let's take a look at a pictogram:

This pictogram shows us data with images. If I look at it, I think it is showing me how many cupcakes have been sold each day.

Can you see that one cupcake image represents 6 cupcakes sold. So on Wednesday there are 4 cupcake pictures. So we have to use multiplication to find out how many cupcakes were sold on that day. 6 x 4 = 24

So on Wednesday 24 cupcakes were sold.



Let's try another question together:

---

Which day sold the least cupcakes? How many did they sell that day?

I can see that on Tuesday there are 2 and half cupcakes. This is the least cupcakes on the pictogram. 

If the image is halved that must mean half the total. Half of 6 is 3. So a half cupcake must mean 3. 

2 whole cupcakes must mean 2 x 6 = 12

So in total 12 + 3 = 15. They sold 15 cupcakes on Tuesday.

Let's have a look at a pie chart:

---

This pie chart is showing us the biggest internet browsers. They are each given a percentage to show how big how big they are. The bigger the percentage the bigger the company is. The whole pie chart is worth 100%.

Which is the biggest internet browser and what percent of people use it.

I can see the largest slice of the pie chart is for Chrome. 40% of people use chrome.


Ok let's look at one more. Here is a tally chart:

---

A tally chart is used to ask a group of people a question and record how many answer for each choice. This tally chart shows us how many people liked different types of chocolate.

We make little lines as we write a tally. We do them in groups of 5 which makes them easy to count.

Which type of chocolate was the most chosen? How many people chose it?

I can see that that most people chose milk chocolate as there are more lines in the tally. Altogether 22 people chose milk chocolate.

Here are 3 charts. I would like you to look at them. Analyse the data and answer the questions:

---

​1. What type of chart is this? What does it show us?

2. Which day were the most hot dogs sold?

3. Which day were 45 hot dogs sold?

Can you write 2 more questions for this chart.

---

​1. What type of chart is this? What does it show us?

2. Which type of movie was chosen the least?

3. Which type of movie had 25% of the vote?

Can you write 2 more questions for this chart.

---

​1. What type of chart is this? What does it show us?

2. How many children use a bike to get to school?

3. Which form of transport has 7 votes?

Can you write 2 more questions for this chart.

Here are your challenges for the day. You do not need to do them all.
