Properties of Shape - Right Angles in Shapes - Starter

In a mathematics lesson aimed at Year 4 students during the Summer Term, one of the tasks focuses on developing fluency with numbers through a variety of exercises. The first challenge presented is a numerical operation that requires students to add and subtract with hundreds, tens, and ones. They are asked to calculate '4 more than 67 hundreds and 2 tens subtract seven ones, 9 tens, and eight hundreds', which tests their understanding of place value and arithmetic operations. Another task involves time, where students must turn the minute hand of a clock one quarter of a turn and determine the new time, enhancing their ability to read and manipulate an analogue clock.

Another part of the activity involves manipulating a four-digit number presented in a place value chart with thousands, hundreds, tens, and ones. Students must add 3 ones, subtract 2 thousands, and subtract 1 ten from the given number and then state the new number they have calculated. This exercise helps to reinforce their understanding of how numbers are constructed and how they can be altered. Additionally, students complete a number line by filling in the missing numbers, which requires them to understand number sequences and increments. The final arithmetic problem provided is a subtraction question, '6,485 – 674', which students must solve, thus practicing their subtraction skills with larger numbers.
