Maths

Factor Pairs 

Today you are finding factors that multiply to make numbers. The factor pairs for 12 would be: 

1 x 12 = 12 

2 x 6 = 12 

3 x 4 = 12 

Therefore, all the factors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 12. 

A factor pair of 13 would be: 

1 x 13 = 13 

Therefore, the factors of 13 are 1 and 13 

Watch the White Rose video which will go through factor pairs in more detail. Make sure you grab a piece of paper and pencil to practice the questions. https://vimeo.com/491282075

Have a go at the practice rainbow sheet where you can work out what the factor pairs are of different numbers. This will help you for when you complete the White Rose worksheet.

Writing 

You have been learning about how the way we listen to music has changed over time. You have learnt about the chronology of listening, identified advantages and disadvantages, and practised using fronted adverbial and subordinate clause skills. Your task today is to combine these skills to produce an information text about the history of music listening. Work through the Combining Skills powerpoint and use the WAGOLL to help you. You will also need to refer to your advantages/disadvantages learning. Good luck!
