Properties of Shape - Measure Angles in Degrees - Starter

In a mathematical exercise aimed at Year 5 students, the task is to apply their knowledge of multiplication, angles, and place value. The 'Fluent in Four' revision section starts with basic arithmetic, such as calculating the product of 9 and 6. It then moves on to a time-telling exercise, asking students to consider what time it is 18 minutes past 6 p.m. The activity progresses to algebra, where students find the value of 'x' that makes the equation 18x equal to 648. Students are also asked to sequence a set of angles from the largest to the smallest and to demonstrate their understanding of angles by drawing a larger obtuse angle and a smaller acute angle, challenging their spatial awareness and geometrical skills.

The exercise continues with a place value grid where students must identify the number represented, which involves understanding hundreds of thousands (Hth), ten thousands (TTh), thousands (Th), hundreds (H), tens (T), and ones (O). Students then practice their multiplication skills by determining what the identified number becomes when multiplied by 10, 100, and 1,000. Additionally, the activity includes fraction addition problems, where students must find the missing numerator that completes the equation to match a given sum. For example, they are tasked with finding what added to 5/8 equals 6/8, reinforcing their fraction addition and equivalence skills. This comprehensive set of exercises is designed to strengthen pupils' numeracy and problem-solving abilities.
