Below are some learning activities for today.
English

| SHOULD | Concentrate on trickier facts ie 9X7, 8X9 7X6,…… Can you think up a method for remembering the answers to increase your rapid recall? | |
| COULD | Make up some word problems using multiplication for your classmates. Eg If 4 children each bought a dozen eggs. How many in total? (you could make a set of cards to bring to school or put them into a PowerPoint for us to share on the blog) | |
