What do you know about the Vikings?

In Year 4, we have been learning about the Vikings. The Vikings came from all around Scandinavia - the Scandinavian countries are called Norway, Sweden and Denmark today. The Vikings sent armies to Britain about the year 700 AD to take over the land, and they lived here until around 1050. Even though the Vikings didn’t stay in Britain, they left a strong mark on society – we’ve even kept some of the same names of towns. They had a large settlement around York and the Midlands, and you can see some of the artefacts from Viking settlements today.

Visit the BBC bitesize website about Vikings to find out more about the Vikings. What interesting facts can you find? Write them in the Comments box below. 

Try writing your name using the runes above. What about the names of other people in your house? Could you write a secret message in runes?

Multiplication Squares - Nrich maths activity

As part of your home learning, you will have been practising your times tables. Thinking about your knowledge of multiples and factors, try and solve the problem below. 

What can you see? 

Can you fill in the empty spaces? 

How do you know which numbers to use?

Is there only one solution?

In the 2×2 multiplication square above, the boxes at the end of each row and the foot of each column give the result of multiplying the two numbers in that row or column.

Can you work out the arrangement of the digits in the square so that the given products are correct?

The numbers 1−9  may be used once and once only. Is there only one solution? How do you know? What helped you solve the grid? Write your comments below and let us know when you have solved this challenge.

Try some more here. 

Or try this Multiples Grid NRich problem to extend your thinking.
