In the context of a Year 4 mathematics lesson, students are tasked with a variety of problems to enhance their understanding of subtraction, division, and comparative measurements. The lesson begins with a 'Fluent in Four' revision activity, where students are asked to perform subtraction calculations such as 4,485 minus 479. They also tackle word problems that require them to translate verbal descriptions into numerical subtraction, such as subtracting five hundred and eighty-seven from a number described in words. Additionally, students are tasked with a division problem where they must divide 56 by 6 and determine the number of groups and the remainder.

Further, the lesson includes a practical component where students use equipment to solve calculations, which helps them to visualise and understand the division process. They are asked to draw hexagons using 56 sticks and explain the steps taken to solve the calculation, such as exchanging tens for ones to facilitate subtraction. The lesson also incorporates a comparative exercise using the words 'taller' and 'shorter' to describe the relative heights of children, reinforcing the concept of measurement and comparison. For example, students must determine who is taller between Zach, who is 142 cm, and Esin, who is 1 metre and 25 cm, as well as compare the heights of other children provided in the exercise.
