Provide a sheet showing the same questions but with more divisions marked on each scale to enable easier estimation. On completion discuss with the pupils the questions in the book and how to make estimates without the divisions marked on. /Textbook page 10 TF 76
For each question ask the pupils to first write down the ten or hundred number either side of the given number onto a blank number line. They must then mark in the halfway point and their number on the number line and use this to help them decide whether to round up or down. /Pupil Activity TF 75
1 Pupil Sheet 10 ApproximatingFirst list all the numbers involved in the questions and ask pupils to work together to round each one to the nearest 100. They must then use this information to complete the sheet.

Provide a set of clear containers holding items such as pasta. Ask pupils to estimate the number of items in each. Discuss the methods they use to make their guesses. /Textbook page 10 TF 76
Ask pupils to write down five multiples of ten between 100 and 1000. Under each number they must write down four numbers that can be rounded up or down to that number and one that cannot. Once finished swap with a partner who has to identify the number that cannot be rounded in each case. /Pupil Activity TF 75

5 days / Shape and space
Reasoning about shapes / Recognise positions and directions: for example, describe and find the position of a point on a grid of squares where the lines are numbered.
Recognise simple examples of horizontal and vertical lines.
Use the eight compass directions N, S, E, W, NE, NW, SE, SW.
Make and measure clockwise and anti-clockwise turns: for example, from SW to N, or from 4 to 10 on a clock face.
Begin to know that angles are measured in degrees and that:
one whole turn is 360° or 4 right angles; a quarter turn is 90° or one right angle;
half a right angle is 45°.
Start to order a set of angles less than 180°. / 2D Shape /
