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?

    Bronze:
    1, Ethelwulf 839
    2, Alfred the Great 871
    3, Edward the elder 899
    4, Edwy, 955
    5, Edward lll, 1042
    6, Harold ll, January 1066

    Ethelwulf came first because the number values lowest and Harold 2 came last because the number values are the highest.
    Edwy, 955 – 959 = 4 years.
    Harold ll, Jan 1066 – Oct 1066 = 10 months.
    Ethelwulf, 839 – 856 = 17 years.
    Edward lll, 1042 – 10066 = 24 years.
    Edward the Elder, 899 – 924 = 25 years.
    Alfred the Great, 871 – 899 = 28 years.

    Silver:
    1, Alfred the Great, 871 – 899 = 28 years.

    Ewdy:955-959
    Edward III:1042-1066
    Harold II: January 1066-October 1066

    I know that Ethelwulf is the first anglo-saxon king because he was the first king who had reign began and it said 839-856 , it so early in rhe anglo-saxon time.I know Harold II is the last anglo -saxon king because he was the last king who had reign ended and it said January 1042-October 1066,it was changed than the first king that the first king began in the Hundreds and harold II ended in the thousands.

    Bronze
    Ethelwulf 839 Alfred the Great (king) 871 Edward the Elder 899 Edwy 955 Edward Third 1042 Harold II 1066. I know this because the start of the reign is the lowest digit and the end is the highest. Harold the second is last because his reign was only a few months.
    Silver
    Alfred the Great 28 years, Edward the Elder 25 years, Edward Third 24 years, Ethewulf 17 years, Edwy 4 years, Harold The Third 9 months

    I predict that Edward the Elder is Alfred’s son because you’re the eldest son or daughter usually
    becomes the next ruler and begin their reign straight after their parents who passed away and that happened with Alfred and Edward the elder.
