Term 4 - October 8th (F-2)

Week beginning October 8th – Foundation to Year 2

Making Longer, Making Shorter

First, Ahmed used interlocking cubes to make a rod four cubes long:

  • How many cubes did he need to make a rod twice the length of that one?
  • How many cubes did he need to make one three times the length?
  • How many cubes did he need to make one four times the length?
  • How many cubes did he need to make a rod half the length of his first one?
  • How many cubes did he need to make a rod a quarter of the length of his first one?

These rods are the ones Ahmed made: 

  • Which one is twice the length of Ahmed’s first rod?
  • Which one is three times the length?
  • Which one is four times the length?
  • Which one is half the length of his first rod?
  • Which one is a quarter of the length of his first rod?
  • Which one is the same length as his first rod?
  • How many cubes did he need to make a rod twice the length of that one? 4×2=8
  • How many cubes did he need to make one three times the length? 4×3=12
  • How many cubes did he need to make one four times the length? 4×4=16
  • How many cubes did he need to make a rod half the length of his first one? 4÷2=2
  • How many cubes did he need to make a rod a quarter of the length of his first one? 4÷4=1
  • The first picture of blocks is equal to Ahmed’s
  • The second is half of Ahmed’s blocks
  • The third is a quarter
  • The fourth is twice Ahmed’s blocks
  • The fifth is three times Ahmed’s blocks
  • The last one is four times Ahmed’s blocks
