Properties of Shape - Calculating Angles Around a Point - Starter

The 'Fluent in Four' revision section offers a variety of mathematical challenges, designed to consolidate students' understanding of key concepts. One task involves basic division, where students are required to find the quotient of 63 divided by 7. Another problem encourages the application of multiple arithmetic skills, asking pupils to calculate 'six more than 84 tens divided by one-sixth of 36'. These exercises aim to strengthen students' fluency in arithmetic operations and their ability to handle complex calculations.

Within the same section, learners are tasked with calculating missing angles around a point, given two angles summing to 200°. This exercise helps students grasp the concept that the total angles around a single point add up to 360°. Additionally, place value counters are used to represent a multiplication problem, which students must interpret and write as a numerical calculation. Finally, a bar model is provided to assist in visualising the addition of fractions, enabling students to determine the sum of two fractions with different denominators. These varied activities are crafted to enhance students' mathematical skills in geometry, multiplication, and fractions, as part of the curriculum for Year 5 during the summer term, week 6, day 4.
