Area - What is Area? - Starter

The provided text appears to be from a set of educational resources aimed at Year 4 students, focusing on mathematical problems involving area and perimeter, as well as arithmetic operations. In one of the tasks, students are asked to calculate the remaining amount of money Tina has after purchasing six paintings, each costing £324, from her initial £2,000. Another exercise challenges students to use digit cards with the numbers 2, 3, and 5 to create all possible three-digit numbers that fall between 240 and 550. Additionally, students are presented with a problem that requires them to determine the perimeter of a rectangular kitchen that measures 16 metres in length and 13 metres in width.

The exercises are designed to improve fluency in mathematics, with a section titled "Fluent in Four - Revision" that includes addition problems such as adding 4,367 and 526, and combining one hundred, eight thousands, forty-two ones with ninety-two tens and eight ones. The answers to these problems are provided, with the sum of the first calculation being 4,893 and the second resulting in 9,070. For the perimeter question, students are expected to apply their understanding of perimeter by adding the lengths of all sides of the rectangle, with the correct answer being 58 metres. These activities are part of a structured curriculum aimed at enhancing students' numerical skills and their understanding of mathematical concepts.
