This week our spelling words are the following: Rhyme occupy apply hyphen hygiene python supply identify multiply recycle desperate  determined. What do they mean? Research them and find the definitions.

Maths:

We are starting to look at fractions, decimals and percentages. Watch the below video to find out more about how they are related:

Complete the attached sheet and post on Seesaw:

Percent means out of 100. The attached sheet requires you to identify the percentage of the squares covered. The first one has been done for you:

We are also looking at how fractions and decimals are related.

Have a go at the attached sheet converting between a decimal and fraction.

Help: if a decimal is to 1 decimal place, the denominator is out of 10. If the decimal is to 1 decimal place, the denominator is out of 100.

Each sheet gets progressively harder. Try the first 6 on page 1. Confident and got them correct? Move on to do sheet 2. If you are struggling with sheet 2, stick to sheet 1.
