Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and Division - Long division - 4-digits by 2-digits (no remainders) - Starter

The Autumn Term Week 6 starter activities for Year 6 students are focused on reinforcing their arithmetic skills, including addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Students are presented with a variety of exercises designed to test their fluency in these four key areas. For example, they are tasked with solving addition problems such as 7,809 + 193, which equals 8,002, and 4,153 + 542, which totals 4,695. These exercises help to consolidate their understanding of basic operations with whole numbers.

In addition to these calculations, students delve into multiplication by listing the multiples of 17 up to 170. They also practice long division with an example like 884 ÷ 17, which results in 52, with no remainder. Subtraction skills are tested with problems involving Roman numerals, such as 10DCCXXIII minus LVI, leading to an answer of DCLVII (723 - 56 = 667). Furthermore, students work on converting numbers to decimals, such as expressing 4 ones, 3 tenths, 4 hundredths, and 9 thousandths as 4.349. These exercises are designed to provide a comprehensive review of key mathematical concepts and to ensure students are proficient in a range of numerical operations.
