Four in Four - Subtraction Set B - numbers with 1 decimal place 1 exchange
Maths Resource Description
The "Four in Four" challenge is an engaging activity for Year 6 students, designed to test their subtraction skills with numbers that have one decimal place and require one exchange. This timed challenge requires students to complete four written calculations within a four-minute time frame, promoting both speed and accuracy in mathematical operations. Each worksheet presents a set of subtraction problems that vary in complexity, with the aim of reinforcing students' understanding of decimal subtraction and the concept of borrowing or exchanging.
The series of "Four in Four" worksheets are systematically arranged to progress in difficulty, ensuring that students are adequately challenged as they develop their numerical proficiency. For example, Sheet 1 presents problems such as "68.4 - 29.3" and "83.7 - 44.2", while subsequent sheets introduce larger numbers and more complex exchanges, culminating in Sheet 10 with calculations like "21918.7 - 1153.5" and "447762.9 - 28532.9". The included answer sheets provide a quick reference for teachers to assess students' work and offer immediate feedback, which is essential for learning and improvement in mathematical skills.
