Properties of shape - 2D shapes​ - Starter

In a series of exercises designed for Year 3 students during the Summer Term, the focus is on reinforcing their understanding of 2D shapes, arithmetic, and money. The activities begin with a 'Fluent in Four' revision section, where students are tasked with solving a subtraction problem involving hundreds, tens, and ones. They must subtract 89 ones and 5 hundreds from a number composed of 7 hundreds, 4 tens, and 6 ones. Additionally, students are asked to identify parallel and perpendicular lines within given shapes, using arrows and right angle notations to indicate their observations.

The exercises also include a series of fill-in-the-blank arithmetic problems designed to test the students' understanding of addition and subtraction. They must determine the missing numbers that complete the equations, such as adding to or subtracting from the number 554 to achieve specified results. Furthermore, the activity incorporates a real-life application of addition involving money. Students calculate the combined cost of two items—a train priced at £3 and 65p, and a cube priced at £5 and 99p—requiring them to add the amounts and understand the concept of carrying over to the next denomination, with the total sum amounting to £9 and 64p. This set of tasks is aimed at enhancing the pupils' numeracy skills and their ability to compare and contrast different calculations.
