Mass, Capacity, Temperature - Millilitres - Starter

As part of the Year 2 curriculum during the summer term, students engage in a series of exercises designed to strengthen their mathematical fluency. On day four of week 10, they encounter a variety of problems that test their understanding of basic arithmetic and geometry. The 'Fluent in Four' revision segment begins with a division task where students must solve 84 divided by half of 8, reinforcing their division skills. They also practice telling time, with an example focusing on identifying a time as 'quarter past 10'.

The lesson continues with comparative exercises where students use the terms 'less', 'more', or 'equal' to describe the relative capacities of different containers, enhancing their understanding of volume and comparison. In another activity, they complete a table related to arrays, where they must fill in the number of columns, the number of balls in each column, the number of rows, and the number of balls in each row, fostering their ability to visualize and calculate quantities in an organized manner. Finally, the lesson includes a geometry task where students are asked to identify a shape—a triangle—and note its properties, including the number of sides and vertices, which are both three. This exercise helps to solidify their geometric knowledge and vocabulary.
