Four in Four - Subtraction Set D - numbers with 2 decimal places no exchange
Maths Resource Description
The 'Four in Four' subtraction activity is a timed challenge designed for Year 6 students to sharpen their skills in subtracting numbers with two decimal places without the need for exchange. Each worksheet presents a set of four subtraction problems that students are encouraged to solve within a four-minute time frame. This exercise aims to build both speed and accuracy in dealing with decimal numbers in a subtraction context. The worksheets are categorised as Set D and are numbered from Sheet 1 to Sheet 10, each offering a unique set of calculations for the students to complete.
The subtraction problems are carefully chosen to ensure that no borrowing is required, allowing students to focus on the straightforward process of subtracting one decimal number from another. For example, on Sheet 1, students might encounter problems such as subtracting 29.31 from 69.42 or 44.26 from 85.78. The answers for each sheet are provided, offering students the opportunity to check their work and understand any mistakes. This resource, created by KS2Gems in 2020, serves as a valuable tool for educators to assess and enhance their pupils' proficiency in handling decimals in subtraction.
