  • November 6, 2023

Hi Year 4,

This half term in topic we have been learning about the Anglo-Saxons. I was wondering if you could complete some Anglo-Saxon based maths problems?

Image result for anglo saxon maths challenges

Bronze

Put each kings reign in chronological order. You will need your knowledge of place value to work this out.

Who came first and how do you know?

Who was last and how do you know?

Silver

Put the kings in order starting with the king with the longest reign and ending with the king with the shortest reign.

Gold

A king was usually succeeded by their sons. Using the information from the table who was likely to have been Alfred the Great’s son. How do you know?

    **Silver
    Alfred the great: 871-899 28 years
    Edward the elder: 899-924 25 years
    Edward III: 1042-1066 24 years
    Ethelwuf: 839-856 17 years
    Edwy: 955-959 4 years
    Harold II: January 1066-October 1066 10-9 months

    **Gold
    Alfred the Great’s son was Edward the Elder. I know this as Alfred’s rein ended in 899 and Edward’s rein started in 899. Meaning that when Alfred passed down the crown Edward his son was next in line.

    Edward the Elder was Alfred the Great’s son because he started reigning when his dad stopped reigning

    Ethelwulf came first because his reign ended in the 856.
    Harold II was last because his reign ended in October 1066.
    Harold is the shortest because it only took 8 months to finish his reign.
