Properties of Shape - Symmetric Figures - Starter

Year 4 students are invited to sharpen their mathematical skills with a series of engaging exercises designed to reinforce their understanding of various concepts. The 'Fluent in Four' revision segment challenges pupils to perform calculations that test their knowledge of basic arithmetic operations. For instance, they are tasked with subtracting eight from four hundred and forty, then dividing by double two, as well as simplifying expressions like 72 divided by 8. These exercises are set within the context of the Summer Term's Week 10, Day 4 curriculum, ensuring that the activities are aligned with the educational standards expected at this stage of learning.

The worksheet also includes problems that require students to multiply numbers in different configurations to reinforce their multiplication skills. They must complete sequences such as 6 x 10 x 2 and find missing factors in equations like 10 x _ x 6 = 120. Additionally, there's an exercise that encourages students to explore geometric concepts by identifying shapes with more than one line of symmetry and up to four sides. These tasks not only test their computational abilities but also their understanding of geometric properties and spatial reasoning. The use of comparison symbols to evaluate areas adds another layer of complexity, prompting students to think critically about the relationships between different mathematical elements.
