Four in Four All Four Operations Set B
Maths Resource Description
The "Four in Four" challenge by KS2Gems is an engaging activity designed to encourage Year 5 students to sharpen their arithmetic skills across all four basic operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. The challenge consists of a series of worksheets, each containing four different calculations that students are tasked to complete within a four-minute time frame. This exercise not only helps to reinforce their numerical agility but also enhances their ability to work under time constraints, simulating test conditions and fostering quick mental computation.
Each sheet in Set B presents a varied mix of problems, demanding students to switch between operations swiftly. For example, they might begin with a multiplication problem, such as multiplying a four-digit number by a single digit, then proceed to a division question that involves dividing a three-digit number by a double-digit number. Following these, they might tackle a subtraction problem with six-digit numbers and conclude with an addition task that could involve adding together two or three numbers, with varying degrees of complexity. The answer key provided at the end of the worksheets allows for quick correction and feedback, ensuring that students can immediately learn from any mistakes and grasp the correct methods for calculation.
