Fractions - Divide fractions by integers (2) - Starter

The material provided appears to be a series of mathematical exercises aimed at Year 6 students during the Autumn term, specifically in Week 10 on Day 4. The tasks are designed to enhance students' fluency in various mathematical concepts. The 'Fluent in Four' section suggests a revision activity that involves four different calculations to be completed. In one activity, students are asked to categorise shapes into two groups: regular and irregular. This helps them to understand the properties of shapes and identify patterns in geometry. Another task requires students to find all the factors of given numbers, which is an excellent exercise for reinforcing multiplication and division skills and understanding number properties.

Additional exercises include a range of fraction and division problems. Students are challenged to divide fractions by integers and complete calculations that involve adding fractions to whole numbers or to other fractions. For example, they must determine what value added to 3/4 gives a sum of 13/6, or what value added to 1/32 results in 11/8. These exercises are designed to solidify their understanding of fractions and to develop their problem-solving abilities. The inclusion of factors for the numbers 18, 14, and 25, as well as the sorting of polygons, indicates a comprehensive approach to the subject, aiming to build a strong foundation in various areas of mathematics. The tasks are structured to encourage critical thinking and to provide a thorough revision of the concepts covered.
