Addition and Subtraction - Adding four digit numbers (one exchange) - Starter

In a Year 4 mathematics lesson focused on addition and subtraction, students are challenged with a series of problems that involve adding four-digit numbers with one exchange. The lesson is part of the Autumn Term's Week 5, Day 5 curriculum. One of the problems presents a scenario where three children, Eva, Ron, and Alex, are playing a game. Eva scores 197 points, Ron scores 185 points, and Alex scores a total equal to the sum of Eva and Ron's points. Students are tasked with calculating the total points scored by all three children. To solve this, they must add Eva and Ron's points to find Alex's score and then sum all three to find the collective total.

Another problem set in the context of a reading competition between four classes asks students to determine the total number of books read by Class 3 and Class 4, as well as how many more books Class 3 read compared to Class 2. The students are given the results of each class and must perform the necessary calculations to find the answers. Additionally, the worksheet includes a question about finding the mass of an item, with the given example being the weight of a cupcake. Students must use their knowledge of addition and subtraction to work through these problems, enhancing their numeracy skills and their ability to apply mathematical concepts to real-life situations.
