Properties of Shape - Drawing Lines and Angles Accurately - Starter

In this mathematical exercise designed for Year 5 students during the Summer Term, the children are challenged with a variety of numerical problems to test their arithmetic skills. The problems presented require the students to apply their knowledge of column addition, conversion of mixed numbers to improper fractions, and understanding of angles. For instance, they are tasked with calculating the total attendance of two rugby matches by adding together the number of people who attended each match. The first match had an attendance of 6,722 people, while the second match saw 14,566 people. Students are instructed to use column addition to find the total sum.

Another part of the exercise involves converting mixed numbers into improper fractions. Students are given the mixed number '8 wholes and seven eighths' and must express it as an improper fraction. Additionally, they are asked to solve a subtraction problem involving large numbers, again using column subtraction for accuracy. In a different task, students delve into geometry by partitioning a full turn, which is 360 degrees, into 200 degrees and finding the remaining degrees by subtraction. The students must subtract 200 degrees from a full turn to find the other amount. Each of these tasks is designed to reinforce the students' fluency in fundamental mathematical operations and their understanding of geometrical concepts.
