For Q3 the opposite sides of the GAA and soccer pitch are the same lengths therefore
Example Q1 (a) 12cm, (d) 18cm
For Q2 shape with a perimeter of 16 cm – you could draw a square with each side equal to 4cm
For Q3 each side of a square is the same length 68cm + 68cm + 68cm + 68cm = 272cm
For Q4 each side of an equilateral side of a triangle is equal so therefore 138 divided by 3 = 46cm

Monday page 134 Q7 completing the sum in the brackets is the first step
Tuesday Page 135 Q1 please complete this question first and check your answers with the below:
a = 2.32km, b = 3.28km, c = 2.07km, d = 1.98km, e = 2.14km, f = 1.6km
Page 135 Complete Q2 – Q4
Wednesday page 135 Q5 – 7 and challenge
Thursday page 136 Q1 – Q3 Perimeter of a shape is where we add up all of the lengths of each side of the shape for example Q1 (a) we add 4cm + 4cm + 1cm + 1cm = 10cm, (b) 2cm + 3cm + 4cm = 9cm
For Q3 the opposite sides of the GAA and soccer pitch are the same lengths therefore
- Perimeter of the GAA pitch is 86m + 86m +144m +144m = 460m
- Perimeter of the Soccer pitch is 70m +70m +104m +104m = 348m
- Difference between the two will be 460m – 348m = 112m
- Half a lap would be half of 348m = 174m
- 7 times the GAA pitch is 460m x 7 = 3220m divided by 1000 (1000m in 1 km) = 3.22km
Example Q1 (a) 12cm, (d) 18cm
For Q2 shape with a perimeter of 16 cm – you could draw a square with each side equal to 4cm
For Q3 each side of a square is the same length 68cm + 68cm + 68cm + 68cm = 272cm
For Q4 each side of an equilateral side of a triangle is equal so therefore 138 divided by 3 = 46cm

Chapter 27: Length 2 – The Kilometre (1000 metres is equal to 1 kilometre)
Page 133 Q 1 Please try this exercise yourself first and then check your answers against the explanations for the answers I give below (the answer in bold is the answer the book is looking for)
The running track is going up in 10metre intervals so therefore at point:
“a” it will be 50m which can also be written as 50/1000m or 5/100km or 0.05km
“b” = 150m or 150/1000m you break this down further by crossing off a zero on each so you’re left with 15/100km or 0.15km
“c” = 330m or 330/1000m or 33/100km so therefore is 0.33km
“d” = 450m or 450/1000m or 45/100km or 0.45km
“e” = 560m or 560/1000m or 56/100km or 0.56km
“f” = 770m or 770/1000m or 77/100km or 0.77km
“g” = 770m or 770/1000m or 77/100km or 0.77km
“h” = 770m or 770/1000m or 77/100km or 0.77km
“i” = 930m or 930/1000m or 93/100km or 0.93km
“j” = 970m or 970/1000m or 97/100km or 0.97km
How would you get 3/10 of one kilometre? 1000m divided by 10 (the bottom of 3/10) multiply by 3 (the top of 3/10) = 300m (remembering 1000m is equal to 1km)
How would you get 23/100 of one kilometre? 1000m divided by 100 (the bottom of 23/100) multiply by 23 (the top of 23/100) = 230m
For question 3 fill in this grid 300m = 300/1000m you then break it down by crossing off the same amount of zeros on both sides fraction= 3/10km, decimal = 0.30km

Chapter 27: Length 2 – The Kilometre (1000 metres is equal to 1 kilometre)
Page 133 Q 1 Please try this exercise yourself first and then check your answers against the explanations for the answers I give below (the answer in bold is the answer the book is looking for)
The running track is going up in 10metre intervals so therefore at point:
“a” it will be 50m which can also be written as 50/1000m or 5/100km or 0.05km
“b” = 150m or 150/1000m you break this down further by crossing off a zero on each so you’re left with 15/100km or 0.15km
“c” = 330m or 330/1000m or 33/100km so therefore is 0.33km
“d” = 450m or 450/1000m or 45/100km or 0.45km
“e” = 560m or 560/1000m or 56/100km or 0.56km
“f” = 770m or 770/1000m or 77/100km or 0.77km
“g” = 770m or 770/1000m or 77/100km or 0.77km
“h” = 770m or 770/1000m or 77/100km or 0.77km
“i” = 930m or 930/1000m or 93/100km or 0.93km
“j” = 970m or 970/1000m or 97/100km or 0.97km
How would you get 3/10 of one kilometre? 1000m divided by 10 (the bottom of 3/10) multiply by 3 (the top of 3/10) = 300m (remembering 1000m is equal to 1km)
How would you get 23/100 of one kilometre? 1000m divided by 100 (the bottom of 23/100) multiply by 23 (the top of 23/100) = 230m
For question 3 fill in this grid 300m = 300/1000m you then break it down by crossing off the same amount of zeros on both sides fraction= 3/10km, decimal = 0.30km

Busy at Maths – Money Chapter 21 page 107, 108, 109 (remember there are 100 cents in 1 euro).
Question: If 6 blouses cost €8.76 you must find out how much 1 blouse would cost?
***Always find the cost of one blouse first by dividing €8.76 by 6 = €1.46***
This means 1 blouse costs €1.46 and then if you need to work out how much 2 blouses would cost - you multiply €1.46 by 2 = €2.92, for the cost of 3 blouses it would be €1.46 multiplied by 3, for the cost of 4 blouses it would be €1.46 multiplied by 4 and so on.
For page 109 (remember there are 1000 grams in 1 kilogram) for question 6 – you are looking for one fifth of the ”ordinary price” in order to work out the “reduction”, for question 6(a) €7.25 divided by 5 (the bottom of 1/5) and multiply by 1 (the top of 1/5) – the reduction would be €1.45, therefore your sale price would be €7.25 minus €1.45 = €5.80

Busy at Maths
Busy at Maths – Money Chapter 21 page 107, 108, 109 (remember there are 100 cents in 1 euro).
- For question 1 – 5 page 108, you have to follow these steps, noting the division followed by multiplication.
Question: If 6 blouses cost €8.76 you must find out how much 1 blouse would cost?
***Always find the cost of one blouse first by dividing €8.76 by 6 = €1.46***
This means 1 blouse costs €1.46 and then if you need to work out how much 2 blouses would cost - you multiply €1.46 by 2 = €2.92, for the cost of 3 blouses it would be €1.46 multiplied by 3, for the cost of 4 blouses it would be €1.46 multiplied by 4 and so on.
For page 109 (remember there are 1000 grams in 1 kilogram) for question 6 – you are looking for one fifth of the ”ordinary price” in order to work out the “reduction”, for question 6(a) €7.25 divided by 5 (the bottom of 1/5) and multiply by 1 (the top of 1/5) – the reduction would be €1.45, therefore your sale price would be €7.25 minus €1.45 = €5.80
