PRACTICAL ACTIVITIES TO SUPPORT YOUR CHILD AT HOME
Year Four
Domino Multiplication
Shuffle some dominoes and place them face down on the table. Each player chooses a domino and multiplies the two numbers on it. Whichever player has the biggest answer keeps the two dominoes.
The winner is the player with the most dominoes once they have all been used up.
Dicey Division
Each person needs a piece of paper…then each chooses 5 numbers from the list below.
5 6 8 9 12 15 20 30 40 50
Take it in turns to roll a dice. If the number you roll divides exactly into one of your numbers then cross it out.
If you roll a 1, miss a go.
If you roll a 6, have an extra go.
The first to cross out all 5 of their numbers is the winner.
Pairs to 100
With a partner, each should draw 10 circles on a piece of paper. Write a different 2-digit number in each circle…but not a tens number (10, 20, 30….)
In turn choose one of your opponent’s numbers and say what must be added to that number to make 100 E.g. choose 36, then add 64 to make 100
If they get the right answer (check with a calculator) they cross out the chosen number.
If it is wrong, they must have another go at that number on their next turn.
The winner is the first to cross out all 10 numbers.
