Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and Division - Primes to 100 - Starter

The 'Fluent in Four' revision resource for Year 6, as part of the Autumn Term's Week 7 Day 2 activities, engages students with a series of mathematical challenges. The tasks are designed to consolidate their understanding of basic operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, with a particular focus on identifying common multiples and working with prime numbers up to 100. One exercise prompts students to list five common multiples for given pairs of numbers, such as 8 and 12 or 4 and 5, enhancing their ability to recognize patterns in number sequences.

In another segment of the session, pupils tackle a subtraction problem, where they must find the missing number to complete the equation 8,503 minus an unknown number equals 7,606. Additionally, there's a real-life application question where students must deduce the next page number in a book when given the sum of two facing pages. For example, if the sum is 759, they calculate that the next page would be 381. This requires them to perform a series of operations: subtracting one from the total sum, dividing the result by two to find one of the page numbers, and then adding one to find the subsequent page number. Another task asks students to convert a given number of shaded parts per hundred into a percentage, further enhancing their numerical literacy. The exercises culminate with subtraction involving large numbers, where students must subtract hundreds and ones from a total represented in thousands, hundreds, and ones.
