Four in Four - Addition Set K - 2dp + 1dp + 1dp

The 'Four in Four' activity is a set of timed maths challenges designed to test the addition skills of Year 6 students. Each sheet presents four calculations that involve adding numbers with two decimal places (2dp) to numbers with one decimal place (1dp). The task requires students to complete all four calculations within a four-minute time frame, encouraging both speed and accuracy in their arithmetic work. The sums range from simpler additions, like "60.44 + 29.3 + 10.3", to more complex ones involving larger numbers, such as "8112.04 + 660.1 + 567.3". This exercise is a great way to enhance mental maths skills and prepare students for more advanced mathematical concepts.

With ten sheets in total, the 'Four in Four' addition set provides a comprehensive practice session for pupils. Each sheet varies in difficulty, ensuring that students are continually challenged as they progress. The answers are provided separately, allowing for quick and easy self-assessment or marking. For example, the sum "26.53 + 12.9 + 3.4" on sheet 1 equals "42.83", while on sheet 10, a more challenging sum like "21918.37 + 5153.5 + 4086.5" results in "31,158.37". These exercises are designed to reinforce students' understanding of decimal addition and to help them develop their problem-solving skills within a set time limit.
