Position and Direction - Lines of Symmetry - Starter

The 'Fluent in Four - Revision' exercises are designed for Year 5 students to practice and consolidate their mathematical skills during the Summer Term, specifically in the ninth week. The first task requires students to perform addition with large numbers, combining thousands, tens, and ones to find a total sum. For example, adding two thousands, 83 tens, and six ones to five hundreds, nine tens, and seven ones challenges students to align their place values correctly and combine them to reach the correct answer.

Another key activity focuses on translating coordinates on a grid. Students are asked to move a point given as a pair of coordinates a specified number of units to the left or right and up or down, which helps them understand the concept of positional shifts within the Cartesian coordinate system. Additionally, the exercises include completing part-whole models, which aid in visualising the composition of numbers, and multiplication problems that test students' ability to multiply large numbers. Comparing the products of these multiplications using the symbols for 'less than', 'greater than', or 'equal to' further enhances their numerical reasoning skills. These varied tasks are aimed at improving students' fluency and confidence in handling numbers and spatial information.
