The 'Fluent in Four' revision exercise for Year 2 students, set for the Summer Term's tenth week, third day, offers a variety of mathematical challenges to enhance their arithmetic skills. In the first task, students are required to solve simple addition and find missing numbers in multiplication equations, such as calculating the sum of 17 and 28, and discovering what number multiplied by 9 equals 45. Another problem asks them to deduce the missing factor in a multiplication that results in 20, encouraging them to understand the relationship between multiplication and division.

Another part of the exercise involves practical application of mathematics in everyday situations. Esin's piggy bank scenario helps students practice their money calculation skills, where they must figure out how much money Esin has left after receiving an additional 68p from her mum and then spending 99p on a lolly. The pictogram question requires students to interpret visual data to determine how many apples fell from a tree on Wednesday, with each symbol representing two apples. Lastly, a measurement task uses small glasses as units to measure the volume of liquid in a bucket, helping students relate to volume and units of measure in a tangible way.
