Properties of Shape - Calculate Lengths and Angles in Shapes - Starter

The educational resource provides a variety of mathematical exercises suitable for Year 5 students during the Summer Term, specifically for Week 7, Day 2. The "Fluent in Four - Revision" section prompts students to practice their mental arithmetic skills with time-telling exercises, such as identifying the time as '9 past 4', and subtraction problems involving four-digit numbers. One such problem requires students to subtract single units and tens from a number composed of thousands, hundreds, tens, and ones, enhancing their understanding of place value and subtraction across columns.

Another activity focuses on geometry, where students are asked to correctly label different quadrilaterals, including a trapezium, rectangle, parallelogram, square, and rhombus. This helps to consolidate their knowledge of shapes and their properties. Additionally, there is a task to complete a table by recording the height of objects in centimetres over a five-week period, which aids in data collection and representation skills. In a percentage-based exercise, students must calculate what portion of a hundred square is not shaded, given the percentages of two colours that are shaded. This exercise reinforces their understanding of percentages and complements their problem-solving abilities in finding the remaining unshaded portion.
