Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and Division - Assessment (2)
Maths Resource Description
The 'Four Operations A' assessment for Year 6 is designed to test pupils' proficiency in the fundamental mathematical operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. In one section of the assessment, students are asked to perform calculations such as adding 3,280 to 659, subtracting 2,934 from 15,000, multiplying 4,327 by 6, and dividing 356 by 4. The answers are provided as 3,939, 12,066, 25,962, and 89, respectively. Additionally, pupils are challenged to complete missing digits in a given sum, reinforcing their understanding of place value and arithmetic operations.
Another task involves solving word problems, such as determining the value of Zach's house given that it is £163,000 less than Leanna's house, which is worth £759,000. Students must also complete an addition pyramid and solve problems related to division with remainders, such as identifying the error in a calculation where the remainder is greater than the divisor. The assessment includes practical applications, such as calculating the weight of bags given the combined weight of boxes and bags, and determining the number of pencil packs that can be made from a given quantity of pencils. This comprehensive assessment allows students to demonstrate their mathematical skills and their confidence in applying the four operations to various scenarios.
