Grace’s Apple Share: Activities

Shared Reading · Year 4. An adult reads the questions and clues aloud. Children can talk, point, sign or choose an answer. For Jumbled Words, show the matching vocabulary word and build it together; children do not need to read independently.

quarters: Four equal parts of a whole.

windfall: Fruit that has fallen from a tree.

Jumbled Words

Use the clue to make a word from the story. Drag the letters with a mouse or finger, or tap a letter and then a space.

Put the story in order

Drag the pictures into order from first to last with a mouse or finger. Or tap a picture, then tap where it should go. Use arrow keys to move a focused picture.

Tell the story

Retell the story in order. Explain the problem, the method the characters tried and the evidence that their solution worked. Arrange twenty counters into four equal groups of five. Combine three groups as fifteen, leave five and check the whole. Compare fifteen with half of twenty.
