Statistics - Introducing Line Graphs - Starter

In a mathematical exercise designed for Year 4 students during the Summer Term, children are engaged in a series of problems to enhance their fluency in fundamental arithmetic concepts. The worksheet presents a table with points allocated to different shapes—Triangles, Squares, and Circles—and prompts students to calculate the difference in points between Squares and Triangles. Additionally, the students are tasked with a practical problem involving the combined height of two cans, one a cola can measuring 14 cm and the other a Limo can at 23 mm. They must work out the total height when the cans are stacked on top of each other.

The worksheet further challenges students to complete a numerical sentence by understanding the distributive property of multiplication. They are given the example that three lots of 10 plus three lots of 2 is equivalent to three lots of a certain number, which they must identify. The exercise helps to reinforce the concept of combining multiples and understanding how to express this as a multiplication equation. Through these problems, students practice their multiplication skills, conversion between millimetres and centimetres, and their ability to apply mathematical concepts to real-world scenarios.
