Time - Telling the Time to the Minute - Starter

In a mathematics exercise designed for Year 4 students during the Summer Term's fifth week, learners are presented with a series of questions that test their proficiency in various numerical concepts. The tasks begin with a 'Fluent in Four' revision section, where pupils are asked to perform subtraction involving thousands, tens, and ones. For example, they must subtract nine tens, seven hundreds, and eight ones from a number composed of nine thousands, thirty-seven tens, and five ones. This exercise not only reinforces their understanding of place value but also their subtraction skills.

Further challenges include reading and writing the time displayed on a clock to the nearest minute, such as '10 past 11', and solving multiplication problems that require finding missing factors. For instance, students must determine what number multiplied by six equals 1,200, or what two numbers multiplied together and then by six give a product of 600. Additionally, there is a question where students must calculate the area of a shaded rectilinear shape by counting squares within the shape. The correct area must then be written in the provided space. The exercise concludes with more arithmetic, where students must perform a subtraction, such as taking 781 from 7,547, and write the answer correctly using their understanding of column subtraction.
