Introduction for teachers and parents

In this book there are single-page exercises covering most of the mathematics work that children will meet in Year 4.

On each page there are some examples/hints along with a set of questions for children to answer. There is space for answers to be written in the book.

Each exercise ends with a challenging question for the more able children.

At the end of each page, children are invited to answer a self-assessment question.

Using this book

The exercises in the Maths Practice Questions books are not intended to be used in the initial teaching of new mathematics topics.

However, they can be used as:

• Homework activities - to consolidate work done in class.

• End of topic class activities - to give children the opportunity to check their understanding of a particular topic.

• Assessment tasks - allowing teachers to establish whether or not children are secure in their understanding of a topic.

I’m confi dent I’m nearly thereI can estimate and use ‘inverse’ calculations to check answers.

Estimating and checkingF

Don’t forget that you can check a calculation by doing the ‘inverse’ calculation.

E.g. 120 – 30 = 90

check: 90 + 30 = 120

Try these calculations and check them. The fi rst one is done for you. Try these using your mental maths skills.

G Rounding and comparing decimals

Example: 12.9 is closer to 13 than 12. So 12.9 rounded to the nearest whole number is 13.

Remember: 12.5 would be rounded up to 13 because it is halfway between 12 and 13.

I’m confi dent I’m nearly thereI can round decimals with one decimal place

to the nearest whole number.

Which of these numbers is closest to 10? Circle your answer.2

Write these numbers in size order (smallest fi rst).

Example: If we want to do this sum 1.9 + 5.9 we can round the numbers to 2 + 6 = 8

Try these:

I’m confi dent I’m nearly thereI can identify 2D shapes.

Geometry

A 2D shapes

Remember: Regular polygons have equal length sides and all the angles are the same. regular hexagon irregular hexagon

Irregular polygons have at least one side that is a

different length or a different angle.

Can you identify these triangles using the words isosceles, scalene, equilateral or right-angled?2

Can you recognise these polygons? Include the word regular or irregular in your answers.1

B Comparing angles

I’m confi dent I’m nearly thereI can compare angles and put them in order.

This is a right-angle.

This is smaller than a right-angle - it is called

an acute angle.

This is bigger than a right-angle - it is called

an obtuse angle.

Complete these sentences.

If a right-angle is a quarter turn, an angle would be less than a quarter turn.

An angle would be more than a quarter turn.

By the end of Year 4, children are expected to know the facts in this section. Parents can help by regularly asking questions to test their children’s ability to recall these facts.

A little and often is the best approach, and any available fi ve minute period can be used.

Appendix - Information for Parents

Number bonds to 100

Children need to know all the pairs of numbers that add up to 100. For example:

60 + 40 = 100 40 + 60 = 100

25 + 75 = 100 75 + 25 = 100

72 + 28 = 100 28 + 72 = 100

A

They also need to know the related subtraction facts.

100 – 60 = 40 100 – 40 = 60

100 – 75 = 25 100 – 25 = 75

100 – 28 = 72 100 – 72 = 28

Try to use a range of vocabulary.

E.g. What do you need to add to 58 to get 100?

What is 100 take away 12?

What is 40 less than 100?

How many more than 82 is 100?

What is the difference between 55 and 100?

You can also use ‘missing number’ questions:

46 + = 100 100 – = 49

What is 7 times 6?

What is 36 divided by 6?

Top Tip

If your child knows the 2, 5 and 10 times tables and knows the square numbers, it may help them to answer times tables questions in steps like this:

7 x 7 = 49 so 8 x 7 = 49 + 7 =

8 x 8 = 64 so 8 x 9 = 64 + 8 =

5 x 8 = 40 so 6 x 8 = 40 + 8 =

Fractions and decimals

Multiplying and dividing numbers by 10 and 100

Children need to know these facts for 1-digit and 2-digit numbers:

D

x 10 = 202 x 10 = 20020 x 10 = 25025

x 100 = 5005 x 100 = 400040 x 100 = 350035

÷ 10 = 660 ÷ 10 = 0.55

÷ 100 = 0.880 ÷ 100 = 0.066

You could ask any similar question and also try ‘missing number’ questions.

E.g. 60 ÷ = 6 etc.
