Multiplication and Division - Multiply by 100 - Starter

The educational resource from 'masterthecurriculum.co.uk' presents a variety of mathematical exercises aimed at Year 4 students in their Autumn Term, specifically for Week 10, Day 2. The 'Fluent in Four' section serves as a revision tool, prompting students to perform calculations such as subtracting two numbers and doubling a number then adjusting it by tens and ones. For example, doubling 38 and then subtracting two tens and nine ones results in 47. These exercises are designed to reinforce students' arithmetic skills and fluency in basic operations.

Another activity involves writing calculations and drawing bar models to represent given statements. In this case, students are asked to consider a scenario where 8 buses have 10 passengers each, leading to a multiplication problem: 8 x 10 = 80. The bar model visually represents this by showing groups of ten, which helps students to understand multiplication as repeated addition. Additionally, the resource includes exercises where students use a place value chart to solve number sentences, such as adding or subtracting tens from a three-digit number (e.g., 643 + 5 tens = 693). Comparing fractions using symbols is another featured task, where students must determine the relationship between two fractions, such as ¾ and ½, and use comparison symbols to show which is greater. These exercises aim to develop students' understanding of number relationships and place value, as well as their ability to represent mathematical concepts visually.
