Maths Resource Description
The 'Fluent in Four - Revision' activity is designed for Year 2 students during their summer term, specifically for Week 9, Day 1. The task begins with arithmetic problems that require students to add two numbers together, such as 'Seventeen add sixty-two', which equals 79, and '63 + 28', which results in 91. These exercises are aimed at sharpening the students' addition skills. Another part of the revision includes a practical word problem involving time: Zach takes a bus to the cinema at 6 o'clock and arrives at 25 minutes to 7, prompting students to calculate the duration of his bus journey, which is 35 minutes.
In addition to the numerical calculations, there is an activity that helps students connect numerals to their corresponding words. For example, they would match 'twenty-nine' with '29', 'fifty-four' with '54', 'seventy-six' with '76', and 'ninety-three' with '93'. This exercise is beneficial for reinforcing their understanding of number names and their written forms. Finally, the activity includes a table to be completed, where students learn about fractions. They are presented with fraction bars and the task of writing the words for fractions like one half, one third, and one quarter, alongside their numerical representations: 1/2, 1/3, and 1/4, respectively. This part of the activity introduces basic fraction concepts and their notation.
