The educational resource provided offers a series of activities designed to enhance Year 4 students' understanding of mathematical concepts during the summer term's eleventh week. The 'Fluent in Four - Revision' section aims to consolidate the students' knowledge through a variety of problems. It includes true or false statements about geometric shapes, such as determining whether a scalene triangle can have a right angle and recognising that a right-angled triangle has one angle of 90 degrees. Additionally, it challenges the misconception that all sides of an isosceles triangle are equal, prompting students to assess the validity of each statement.

In the same section, arithmetic proficiency is tested with addition problems where students must calculate sums like 3,749 plus 831, and comprehend place value through the addition of numbers in different formats, such as numerals, words, and Roman numerals. The exercises encourage students to complete diagrams that represent numbers in various forms and to perform division by 100 to understand the change in value of counters arranged by tens, ones, tenths, and hundredths. The resource is designed to be interactive, with spaces for students to mark statements as true or false and to fill in diagrams, thereby engaging with the material in a hands-on manner.
