The "Four in Four - All Four Operations Set A" is a series of timed maths challenges designed for Year 6 students, created by KS2Gems in 2021. Each sheet presents four arithmetic problems encompassing all four basic operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. The objective for the students is to complete these calculations within a four-minute time frame. The exercises are varied and become progressively more complex across the sheets, providing a comprehensive review of the students’ arithmetic skills. For example, one sheet may ask students to solve problems such as multiplying 4687 by 8, dividing 1298 by 12, subtracting 1,002,751 from 1,004,377, and adding 3,182,265 to 1,092,778.

The "Four in Four" challenges not only test the students' ability to perform calculations quickly but also their understanding of the different operations and their fluency in applying them to a range of numbers, from small to large. The answers are provided separately, allowing for easy marking or self-assessment. This exercise is an excellent way for students to practice and reinforce their maths skills, as it covers a variety of numerical concepts and problem-solving techniques. The sheets are designed to be used in a classroom setting, where students can write their name and the date before attempting the challenge, promoting both mathematical proficiency and time management skills.
