Four in Four - Subtraction Set A - numbers with 1 decimal place no exchange
Maths Resource Description
The 'Four in Four' subtraction challenge is a series of timed worksheets designed for Year 6 students to practice their subtraction skills with numbers that have one decimal place and do not require exchanging. Each worksheet presents four subtraction problems, and students are tasked with completing all four calculations within a four-minute timeframe. The subtraction sets, identified as Set A, are tailored to reinforce mental arithmetic and written calculation proficiency. The subtraction problems vary in complexity, starting with simpler calculations such as '69.4 - 29.3' and gradually increasing to more challenging ones like '457762.9 - 24532.9'. The aim is to build speed and accuracy in solving these mathematical problems.
The worksheets are part of a collection created by KS2Gems in 2020 and are structured to allow students to write down the date and their name before tackling the problems. Each sheet provides a different set of numbers to subtract, ensuring a varied practice experience. Upon completion of the worksheets, students can check their answers against the provided solutions to self-assess their understanding and identify areas for improvement. The answer sheets list the correct results for each problem, such as '85.7 - 44.2 = 41.5' and '9606.7 - 400.6 = 9206.1', offering a straightforward way for both students and educators to evaluate performance and track progress in numerical subtraction.
