The use of gluing flaps will enable tidier models to be made, so they need to be included in the net stage. Learning outcome (Year 5): Make shapes with increasing accuracy (3D). Mirror shapes Squared paper will need to be provided to help with devising these examples of mirror symmetry. If glass mirrors are being used at home to check patterns, they should be handled carefully and used under supervision. Other ways of making reflective symmetry are mentioned on the worksheet and should be tried out in class or at home.
What to talk about: Try other probability tests that are easy to set up at home. Predict results before you start. Try an activity that has only two possible outcomes, like tossing a coin. Try 50 goes to see what happens. Or try a die showing the digits one to six. What are the chances of each of the numbers coming up now? Again test out your theory. What to record: It will be necessary to write down the results of the probability tests, but keep this as brief as possible. Discuss what you think might happen with your helper before tests are carried out, and then compare the ideas with your findings at the end to see whether you were correct.
Learning outcome (Year 5): Solve a problem by representing and interpreting data in tables (conversion graph). 42 Shoe sizes Only adult shoe sizes are being used in this activity because of the confusion that might be caused by the fact that small children's sizes also use two-digit numbers like 12 and 13. It is important that children understand what operation or operations are needed in order to find the meaning of the words listed. The questions at the end of the sheet should lead to a general discussion about the rapid growth of children's feet and therefore the need to change shoes often.
