As part of the Spring Term curriculum for Year 6, students engage in a series of 'Fluent in Four' revision exercises designed to sharpen their mathematical skills. One of these exercises involves a problem-solving task where students are asked to add '5 more than 67 tens' to 'four thousands', along with '408 ones and 3 tens', requiring them to perform multi-digit addition. Additionally, they are presented with number sequences to complete, identifying the pattern and applying the rule to fill in the missing numbers. For example, in one sequence, students must recognize the pattern of decreasing by 100 to determine the missing terms.

Another task asks students to calculate the proportion of an essay that has been completed. John, the subject of the problem, has finished 12 pages of a 20-page essay. Students are required to express this as both a percentage and a decimal, reinforcing their understanding of fractions and their equivalent representations. Furthermore, they are presented with a geometric problem where they must select the correct calculation to determine the area of a triangle, given the lengths of its base and height. The correct formula to use in this case is half the product of the base and height, which is a fundamental concept in understanding the geometry of triangles.
