Four in Four - Addition Set C - 4d + 3d + 2d
Maths Resource Description
The "Four in Four" series by KS2Gems presents a challenge for Year 4 students to complete a set of addition problems within a four-minute time frame. Each sheet in Set C consists of four calculations that combine adding a four-digit number with a three-digit number and a two-digit number. The goal is to enhance the children's numerical fluency and speed in addition. For instance, one of the problems on Sheet 1 is 6004 + 298 + 35, which tests the ability to align numbers correctly and add across the units, tens, hundreds, and thousands columns. These exercises are designed to reinforce mental arithmetic skills and ensure students are comfortable with multi-digit addition.
Answers are provided for each sheet to allow for quick marking and feedback. For example, the solution to the aforementioned problem is given as 6,337. The answer sheets enable students to check their work, understand any mistakes, and learn from them. This also helps teachers to identify areas where students may need further practice or support. The "Four in Four" activity is an engaging way for students to improve their arithmetic skills and build confidence in handling larger numbers in addition.
