Activity 13 Find out the average temperature in Greece during a whole year. Using the data produce a bar-chart to represent it. Think about the scale you are going to use. Then write 3 true statements and 3 false statements about the graph.
Activity 14 Some of the Greek gods have decided to spend the day at the fair. They really want to ride on the big wheel - but each seat only has room for two of them at a time. How many different combinations of 2 gods could go on the ride? Things to think about! What’s the best way to record my How can I predict and check my ideas?

Activity 15 Draw a picture of a famous building in Greece, then label all the 3D shapes it is made up from, e.g. cube, cuboids, hexagonal prism, triangular pyramid, square based pyramid, sphere, hemisphere, cylinder or cone. Write next to each 3D shape its properties, e.g. number of faces, edges, vertexes.

Greek Problems
1. Leonidis’ has 20 ships. He wants to know how many soldiers he can transport. Each ship can carry 55 soldiers? 2. He will also need to take 20 litres of water per 10 soldiers. How much water does he need to take? 3. Finally with supplies. He needs to take 157 cows per week and 185 chickens per week to feed his soldiers. He thinks it will take 7 weeks to fight. How many of each animal does he need to take? 4. Think of your own Greek worded problem. Activity 11 Golden Ratio The golden ratio (symbol is the Greek letter "phi") is a special number approximately equal to 1.618. It appears many times in geometry, art, architecture and other areas. Many buildings and artworks have the Golden Ratio in them, such as the Parthenon in Greece, but it is not really known if it was designed that way. There is a special relationship between the Golden Ratio and the Fibonacci Sequence 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, (The next number is found by adding up the two numbers before it.) Can you work out the next 6 numbers in the sequence using the same rule. Now, using a calculator, divide the last two adjacent numbers in your sequence and it should equal the ‘Golden Ratio’. Golden ratio, e.g 89 ÷ 55 = Does it work? Activity 12 Ancient Greek numbers The Ancient Greeks used different symbols for their numbers. Instead of writing 1 they used a symbol that looked like a capital i. Below is a list of Greek numbers if you want to make 11 you would write the symbol for 10 and then write the symbol for 1. it would look like this ∆I 1. How would you make the number 21? 31? 35? 42?
2. If you write the symbol for 10 after the 50 what do you think you would get? 4. How about this H∆Г? 5. How about this H∆ГI? Can you work out the answers to these questions and write the answer in Ancient Greek? 12+15= 4x5= 102-43= 15+20= 7x6= 94-39=
Year 5 Homework Here are your homework activities for this term. All the activities are based on our new topic, Eureka! (Ancient Greeks). Look through all the tasks and decide on the ones you want to complete. Each week choose one activity. Then complete it into your homework book or separate if you want it to be displayed. When the activity is completed, bring your book into school and place it in the homework basket. All homework needs to be in by Wednesday so that I have time to mark it and return your book on a Thursday ready for you to complete another task. Remember to keep up your Maths set homework, spellings, Maths target and daily reading.
Good luck and enjoy. Mrs Prew
