Year 2 – Thursday’s Home Learning

After your daily reading;

Can you find one of each sentence type in the text you’ve read today? Copy one of each (if you can’t find all four, do as many as you can).

The four types of sentence – Question, Exclamation, Statememnet, Command.

Q – Where do hedgehogs go in the winter?

E – What an amazing picture that is!

S – The dog barked all night.

C – Please close the door, it’s cold outside.

Read through your work. Read it to a grown up if you can. Make any changes or improvements if you need to.

Use Monday’s notes to write the rest of your instructions. Number each instruction, start each instruction on a new line. Does each instruction include a verb? Try to use different sentence starters. Remember – you are writing in the present tense.

When you have finished – read again! Read to a grown up if you can. Draw a picture (or pictures) to add detail to the instructions (or a final picture of something about the model, outcome, game or activity).

To develop fluency in division.

To choose the best division strategy for me.

To solve division problems. 

Today you will be practising your division (sharing or grouping) skills.

For the first 5 questions you will need to divide the numbers in your head. You might want to skip count.(Remember we have been learning to skip count in x2, x5 and x10)

1. 12 ➗ 2 =
2. 10 ➗ 5 =
3. 20 ➗ 2 =
4. 20 ➗ 10 =
5. 14 ➗ 2  =

For the next 5 questions choose the best dividing strategy for you. You might want to skip count, draw arrays or do jottings.

1. 15 ➗ 5 =
2. 16 ➗ 2 =
3. 80 ➗ 10 =
4. 50 ➗ 5 =
5.  70 ➗ 10 =

For the next 3 questions read them carefully. Write out the calculation. Decide on the best way for you and solve it – remember to show how you worked it out.

1. Mrs Knapp had 20 flowers that she shared between her 4 friends. How many flowers did Mrs Knapp give each friend?
2. Mrs Webb shares 35 balls of wool between her 7 friends. How many balls of wool do they get each?
