Fractions - Fractions of an amount (2) - Starter

The 'Fluent in Four' worksheet is a numeracy exercise designed for Year 4 students in their Spring Term, focusing on Week 8, Day 2. The worksheet combines different mathematical concepts to challenge students' understanding and fluency. One of the tasks asks students to find one-fifth of Tia's marbles. To solve this, students must divide the total number of marbles into five equal groups and then determine how many marbles are in one group. This exercise helps students practice their fraction and division skills as they work out one-fifth of a quantity.

Another part of the worksheet involves calculating the duration of time taken for an activity. For example, students must figure out how long Leanna spent getting ready for school, given that she started at 07:30 and was ready by 08:20. This requires students to understand how to read time and calculate the difference between two time points, which in this case is 50 minutes. Additionally, the worksheet includes subtraction problems that involve large numbers, requiring students to apply their knowledge of place value and subtraction to find the answers. These problems are presented in a column format, reinforcing the concept of borrowing and carrying over in subtraction.
