Properties of Shape - Identify Angles - Starter
Maths Resource Description
The 'Fluent in Four' revision exercise is designed for Year 4 students to practice their mathematical skills with a focus on division and geometry. The activity begins with a numerical division problem where students are asked to divide a number represented in hundreds, tens, and ones by half of 16. Following this, they are tasked with solving 81 divided by 9, reinforcing their division skills. The worksheet also includes a time-telling exercise where students must understand the time from a phrase such as "27 to 4 a.m." Additionally, students are encouraged to identify different types of angles in shapes, enhancing their understanding of geometric properties.
Further exercises involve real-world applications of division; for example, students must calculate how many puzzle pieces seven children would receive if they shared 63 pieces equally. This is followed by a division problem where students must determine the number of groups of 6 that can be made from a given number of sticks, as well as the remainder. The worksheet encourages the use of this method to solve another division problem, 68 divided by 7. Finally, the students are challenged to apply their knowledge of shapes and division to figure out how many hexagons can be made with 56 sticks, integrating their understanding of geometry with arithmetic operations.
