Writing

This week you are going to write an informational text about any subject you choose. Today you will need to write an introduction to your informational text. Use the introduction of Mini Marvels as a guide as to how to write yours. You will need to explain what your informational text will be about and a small amount of information that will hook your reader in. Your introduction does not need to be long, maybe only a few sentences, however it needs to give the reader a reason to carry on reading.

CHALLENGE: Try to include a rhetorical question in you introduction.

Maths

This week we will be going over statistics. Today we will start with pictograms. Pictograms use pictures to show information. Remember the most important thing to look at is the key. What is each picture worth?

This pictogram below shows the number of different coloured smarties in a packet. If you were to just look straight at the orange smartie pictures, you may think there were 4 orange smarties in the packet. But you must remember to look at the key that shows us that each smartie picture is worth 2 smarties so there were actually 8 orange smarties in the packet. If you look at the blue smarties, there are 2 whole pictures and then a half picture. If one picture is worth 2, then half a picture is worth half of 2 which is 1. So for the blue smarties there are 4 plus 1 which is 5 in total.

Have a go at answering some more questions about the smarties pictogram on the sheet attached below.

Now open up the interpreting pictograms activities. There are 3 challenges to complete. Enjoy!
