Properties of Shape - Draw Nets of 3D Shapes - Starter

The 'Fluent in Four' revision segment is a challenging set of problems aimed at Year 6 students during their Summer Term. It includes a variety of mathematical concepts to test and enhance their skills. For instance, students are asked to perform division, such as dividing 81 by 9, and to tackle more complex problems like dividing two hundreds and 16 ones by half of 48. They also delve into geometry, translating and reflecting shapes on a coordinate grid, and determining the coordinates of the reflected shape. In addition, there are practical applications of mathematics, such as calculating the proportions of strawberries and bananas needed for a smoothie when given the total mass and the relationship between the masses of the two fruits.

Another aspect of the 'Fluent in Four' revision includes measuring tasks where students are instructed to draw a triangle on squared paper accurately to find a missing length and to measure the size of given angles. Time conversion is also covered, with students converting times such as '10 past 10 p.m.' into a 24-hour format. Furthermore, students are tasked with calculating volume, for example, finding the volume of a cuboid with dimensions provided. Percentage calculations are part of the revision too, requiring students to find percentages of given numbers. Lastly, they are encouraged to think spatially by drawing possible nets of three-dimensional shapes, integrating their understanding of geometry with creative problem-solving.
