Four in Four - Addition Set C - 3d + 3d with no carry
Maths Resource Description
The 'Four in Four' activity by KS2Gems is a timed challenge designed to sharpen the addition skills of Year 3 students. Each sheet presents a set of four arithmetic problems, each involving the addition of two three-digit numbers without the need for carrying over. The task for the students is to complete all four calculations within a four-minute timeframe, fostering both accuracy and speed in their mathematical processing. The worksheets vary in the numbers used, but all adhere to the same format, ensuring a consistent learning experience across the set.
Sheet 1, for example, includes sums such as 604 + 293 and 543 + 431, while Sheet 2 offers problems like 682 + 317 and 482 + 317. Each subsequent sheet presents a new set of numbers to add, maintaining the no-carry rule to simplify the process for the students. The corresponding answer sheets provide the correct solutions to each of the problems, allowing for quick and easy marking. Problems like 372 + 326 and 358 + 341 from Sheet 5, or 412 + 387 and 471 + 412 from Sheet 6, are solved to give answers such as 698 and 883 respectively, demonstrating the variety and progression of difficulty throughout the exercises.
