Four in Four - Addition Set A - 3d + 2d with no carry
Maths Resource Description
The "Four in Four" challenge provides an engaging and time-bound exercise for Year 3 students to practice their addition skills. Each worksheet presents a set of four addition problems that combine a three-digit number with a two-digit number, specifically designed to not require carrying over. The aim is for students to accurately complete all four calculations within a four-minute time frame. This helps to develop both speed and accuracy in their arithmetic abilities. The worksheets are part of Set A, which focuses on adding numbers without carrying, and are labeled as Sheet 1 through Sheet 10, each with a unique set of problems.
For each worksheet, an answer key is provided to allow for quick and easy checking of the students' work. The answers reveal that the sums have been carefully chosen to avoid carrying, which could otherwise complicate the addition process for learners at this stage. The "Four in Four" activity is a resource from KS2Gems 2020, designed to support the mathematical development of children in Key Stage 2, by reinforcing their understanding of basic addition without the added complexity of carrying over to the next digit.
