Year 4
AUTUMN
This term in Maths, Year 4 have been learning about place value, measurement and addition & subtraction. We represented, added and subtracted numbers up to and beyond 10,000. Furthermore, we learned to apply our rounding and estimating skills to add and subtract using efficient methods. We particularly enjoyed applying our arithmetic skills to measuring and calculating lengths, heights and distance. It was great fun to apply these skills to measure trees on Outdoor classroom day. Going forward, we will continue to consolidate our times tables facts up to the 12 times table as well as learn written methods of multiplication and division.
SPRING
This spring term, Year 4 have been focusing on multiplication and division. Children explored factor pairs and practised multiplying and dividing by 10 and 100 to strengthen their understanding of place value. They learned informal written methods and applied these to multiply and divide 2- and 3-digit numbers by 1-digit numbers. Children also solved correspondence problems and worked on using efficient strategies, building confidence in reasoning and problem solving.
