Length and height - Measure length cm - Starter

Within this Year 2 mathematics session, occurring in the first week of the Summer term, students are tasked with a variety of exercises aimed at reinforcing their arithmetic and measurement skills. The "Fluent in Four - Revision" segment presents a set of problems designed to test their understanding of basic operations and time-telling. For instance, they are challenged to solve equations involving division and addition, such as finding the result of dividing 35 by 5 or halving the sum of 49 and 25. Additionally, they must demonstrate their ability to read the time by identifying 'quarter to 11' on a clock.

The lesson also includes practical activities that focus on ordering sequences and understanding measurements. Students are asked to arrange a group of children—Rosa, Ben, and Tim—in order from first to last, based on given positions. They must also use a ruler to measure the length of a screwdriver, though it is noted that the image provided is not to scale, which highlights the importance of using actual measuring tools rather than relying on pictures. Furthermore, they are required to complete sentences that involve calculating the mass of an object, such as a cake, using a specified number of cubes as a unit of measurement. Through these exercises, students apply their knowledge of numbers and their properties to real-world contexts and develop a foundation for understanding measurement and geometry.
