Time - Telling the Time to 5 Minutes - Starter

The 'Fluent in Four' revision activity is a set of quick-fire maths challenges designed for Year 4 students as part of their Summer Term learning in Week 5, Day 1. The tasks are aimed at consolidating various numerical concepts in a clear and engaging manner. One of the exercises involves telling the time to the nearest five minutes, specifically identifying '22 past 2'. Another task requires students to add together numbers represented in hundreds, tens, and ones, such as adding seven hundreds, two tens, and eight ones to eighty-three hundreds, nine tens, and four ones, enhancing their understanding of place value and addition.

Students are also asked to complete a number sentence involving money, adding pence to £12 and finding the total amount in pounds and pence. Comparisons between quantities are made using the symbols for less than, equal to, and greater than, with examples such as comparing groups of pencils. Additionally, the children are presented with a hundred grid to determine what fraction of it is shaded, reinforcing their knowledge of fractions. The activity concludes with arithmetic problems, including the addition of four-digit numbers, which help to strengthen the students' calculation skills. These exercises are crafted to be both educational and enjoyable, allowing children to practice their maths skills in a variety of contexts.
