Year 4 Maths Challenge Autumn 2

Mrs Khaliq

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?

    Alfred the Great.871-899
    Edward the Elder.899-924
    Edwy .955-959
    Edward III.1042-1066
    Harold II.January 1066- October 106
    I know that Alfred the great went first because he ruled 28 years and all the rest are bellow that
    .I know it is Harold II because all of then went in years except this this went in 10 months .
    Silver
    First it would be Alfred the Great
    Then it would be Edward the Elder
    After that it would’ve be Edward
    Eventually it would be Ethelwulf
    Close to last it is Edwy
    Finally the last is Harold II

    The one who was likely to be Alfred the Great’s son is Edward the elder this is because he was 899 -924 he was king just after Alfred the Great because Alfred the great ruled until 899.
