Day 42

Today is filled with fun revision activities. In Maths you will expand geometric patterns, write how 3D shapes move, share what you know about capacity, and complete questions about a graph. You will also answer questions about a story to show how well you understand what you read. Then for writing, you will write a to-do list. In Life Skills we will talk about what you’ve learnt and what you can do, and we will end by revising some Afrikaans vocabulary. Are you ready? Let’s go!

If you’re new here, the resources used for counting in multiples, sounds learnt (to be cut into sound cards to build words), phonics lists and reading sight words (to be cut out in order to flash the words) can be downloaded here. There are also some practice assessments available on the page.

Maths methods – summary: This is useful to keep on hand should you forget how each of the different methods in Maths is calculated. Mathematics is one of those subjects where you will always have to show how you got your answer, whether you are in Grade 1 or at university, so make sure to include all the steps for each type of sum. Always leave one line open before starting a new sum – as indicated by the orange crosses.

Space and shape: Complete the sentences.

Measurement of capacity:


Data Handling: Print the worksheet here.

Reading – Comprehension test: Read the story two or three times before answering the questions. If you don’t know what the answer is, go read the story again to find what you are looking for. Print the worksheet here.

Writing – Write a to-do list:

Life Skills: Talk about what you have learnt and what you can do.

Afrikaans First Additional Language – Vocabulary: We are revising our previous words and sentences. Try your very best to speak in full sentences every time.
