This week we have been learning about sizzling starts. Today you will use some pictures to inspire your sizzling starts. TASK: Look at the four picture prompts below and write a sizzling start for each one. Remember you can begin a sizzling start with dialogue, a focus on character, the setting, a sound effect, or even an action! Each sizzling start should be a few sentences long. You can do this on paper and take a photo to upload it, or complete it using Word.

You need to colour in all of the multiples of 9 e.g. 9, 18, 27, 36, 45 etc. Colour in the 100’s chart first to help you. *You may choose to print out the worksheet or complete it using Paint. EXPLANATION: Today you will be focusing on using multiplication vocabulary while solving worded problems. TASK: Read through the multiplication worded problems below and highlight the words which tell you that the operation you need to use is multiplication. Once you have highlighted the key words, solve the problems. Tip: You may wish to look back on your Math Vocabulary PowerPoint to help you
