Dear Parents

Tomorrow meet at Buchs Railway Station at 8.40

Sorry for such short notice but to allow the class to participate in a song writing workshop on Friday afternoon I have had to move our school trip (Bad Ragartz) to Wednesday.

We will be taking the 09.01 train should you wish to join the train in route. The train arrives in Bad Ragaz at 09.18. We will be back in school by 14.00.

I would like the students to bring their own camera if possible and a packed lunch.

Please email me to let me know that you have received this email and if you would like to meet the train on route.

Again, apologies for the short notice.

Regards

Will Warren

Grade 5

Complete the following calculations in your head

25 x 32
19 x 62
75 x 54
49 x 45
51 x 78

Write down the method you used, this is more important than the answer.

Please remember that there are many methods I would like you to use all of the following three methods.

25 x 32


Method 1

32 x100 = 3200
so
32 x 50 must be half of 3200
=1600
so
32 x 25 must be half of 1600
=800

Method 2
25 x 32

25 x 8 =200
25 x 8 =200
25 x 8 =200
25 x 8 =200
25 x 32 =800

Method 3
25 x 32
25 x 8 = 200
200 x 2= 400
400 x 2 = 800

because 8 x 2 = 16 and 16 x 2 = 32
