Multiplication and Division - Multiply and Divide by 6 - Starter

The educational resource provides a series of maths exercises for Year 4 students, focusing on multiplication and division skills, particularly involving the number 6. The "Fluent in Four" section serves as a revision tool, presenting problems that require students to apply their knowledge of multiplication to find the total number of sides in multiple triangles. For instance, they must calculate that one triangle has 3 sides, five triangles have 15 sides, and three triangles have 9 sides. The exercises also include division questions such as 64 ÷ 8 and more complex operations like 76 divided by the product of 2 multiplied by 2.

Additionally, the material includes practical word problems that combine addition with understanding of currency, asking students to determine the total cost of items such as a windmill and a ball with given prices. To complete the sentences, students need to recognise that a line running straight up and down is called a 'vertical' line, while a line that runs from left to right across the paper is known as a 'horizontal' line. These exercises are designed to reinforce fundamental arithmetic skills and geometric concepts in a clear and structured manner, enhancing the pupils' numerical fluency and spatial awareness.
