LESSON ONE MATHS 2 = x - 3 +1 Ellie Simmonds = 6 POINTS Two of the most exciting events in the Paralympic pool are

Age 25 the Men’s and Women’s 34 point 4x100m Medley Relays. In Classification S6 Paralympic medals 8 those races, the classification of the four athletes competing World & European 33 Championship medals for each country can’t add up to more than 34 points, usually the fastest team is the one with the total closest to 34. Welcome to the first lesson of our new Home Using the information you’ve just been given, work out which one of the three Pooling classes combinations of athletes below (a, b or c) would give you a total closest to or equal to 34. Welcome to the first of our new Home Pooling challenges! Each week, we will be releasing two challenges across a variety of subjects for parents and carers A to work through with their children at home – with a British twist to Megan Richter Zara Mullooly each one. Once your child/children have completed the relevant tasks, submit their work over social media by tagging @BritishSwimming using the hashtag Age 21 Age 19 Age 38 Age 17 #HomePooling – and one lucky child from each task will receive a personalised Classification S8 Classification S8 Classification Classification S10 Paralympic medals 2 Paralympic medals / Paralympic medals 10 Paralympic medals / video message from one of our swimming, para-swimming or diving stars.

B Task One - Counting within 20 Suzanna Hext Ellie Robinson Brock Whiston Megan Richter (Foundation Stage and above) Here is a picture of Alice Tai with all of the gold medals she won at the 2019 World Para-Swimming Age 31 Age 18 Age 23 Age 19 Classification S5 Classification S6 Classification S8 Classification S8 Championships. Can you count how many gold medals Paralympic medals / Paralympic medals 2 Paralympic medals / Paralympic medals / World & European 2 World & European 8 World & European 4 World & European 4 she has altogether?

C Task Two - Addition of multiple Alice Tai Brock Whiston Stephanie Millward one-digit numbers (Year 2 and above) In the sport of para-swimming, relay races are based on a points system, where each swimmer carries a number of points that is the same as their Age 21 Age 23 Age 16 Age 38 Classification S8 Classification S8 Classification S9 Classification S9 classification. For example, Ellie Simmonds is classified as an S6 athlete, so Paralympic medals 2 Paralympic medals / Paralympic medals / Paralympic medals 10 World & European 18 World & European 4 World & European 12 World & European 34 she would carry six points in the relay. Championship medals Championship medals Championship medals Championship medals Task Three - Comparing and ordering numbers from 0 to 100 (Year 2 and above) In para-swimming, finish times are measured in minutes, seconds and milliseconds. For example, a time of one minute, five seconds and 50 milliseconds would be written: 1:05.50. This table shows four athletes’ personal best times in each of the four swimming strokes of backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly and freestyle. Using the information in the introduction, identify the athlete who is the fastest over 100m for each stroke.

Stroke 100m 100m 100m 100m Backstroke Breaststroke Butterfly Freestyle Alice 1:08.04 1:35.71 1:07.00 1:03.66 Tai (S8) Toni 1:15.38 1:27.99 1:07.83 1:03.00 Shaw (S9) Brock 1:17.57 1:13.83 1:07.75 1:10.01 Whiston (S8) Stephanie 1:10.20 1:40.35 1:10.78 1:03.60 Millward (S9)

Task Four - Solve problems that involve ideas from tasks one to three (Year 3 and above) Based on the table above, which shows their personal bests in each stroke, what THE NEWS would be the best order for the four In 2019, Alice Tai, Toni athletes to compete in to make sure Shaw, Brock Whiston and Stephanie Millward they finish in the fastest overall time? won the gold medal in the Women’s 34 point 4x100m The order of strokes in a Medley Relay Medley Relay at the World Championships – in a new is backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly world-record time. and freestyle. Clue: each athlete can only swim one stroke in the relay – so they might
