In these worksheets, children deal with larger numbers while consolidating their understanding of the place value columns. They partition numbers in the standard way (for example, into thousands, hundreds, tens and ones) as well as in more flexible ways (for example, 16,875 = 14,875 + 2,000 and 15,875 = 12,475 + 3,400). Watch for: Children may make mistakes with the order of the digits when partitioning/recombining numbers with many digits.

Children subtract whole numbers including using formal written methods (columnar subtraction). Place value chart and place value counters can be used for support. It is useful when performing calculations that require an exchange. Squared paper and labelled columns will support children in placing the digits in the correct columns. Children experience both questions and answers where zero appears in columns as a placeholder.

in these worksheets, children explore numbers up to 100,000. They are introduced to the ten-thousands column in a place value chart and begin to understand the multiples of 10,000. This can be reinforced using a number line to 100,000. Both place value counters and plain counters are used in place value charts, allowing for discussion about the values of the columns.

Children add two 4-digit numbers with one exchange in any column. The numbers can be made using place value counters in a place value chart, alongside the formal written method. When discussing where to start an addition, it is important to use language such as begin from the “smallest value column” rather than the “ones column” to avoid any misconceptions when decimals are introduced later in the year. After each column is added, ask, “Do you have enough ones/ tens/hundreds to make an exchange?" This question will be an important one in this worksheet , as the children do not know which column will be the one where an exchange is needed. Extra reasoning activity sheets

These worksheets are differentiated. The focus is on rounding numbers to the nearest 10, 100 or 1,000. It is important that children hear and use the language of “rounding to the nearest” rather than “rounding up” and “rounding down”, as this can lead to errors. Number lines are a particularly useful tool to support this, as children can see which multiples of 10, 100 or 1,000 the given numbers are closer to. When there is a 5 in the relevant place value column, despite being exactly halfway between the two multiples, we round to the next one. Watch for : The language “round down”/”round up” and so round 62,180 to 61,000 (or 61,180) when asked to round to the nearest 1,000.

These are differentiated worksheets for year 4 covering subtraction with one exchange They are well differentiated, and answers are attached for easy check. One exchange Foundation, Core , higher Each sheet comes with well explained answers.

In these well differentiated worksheets, children order a set of two or more fractions. If equivalent fractions are needed, then one denominator will be a multiple of the other(s) so that conversions will not be complicated. Compare fractions Order fractions less than 1 Extra reasoning sheets attached Bar models, fraction walls and number lines are used to help children to see the relative sizes of the fractions, especially when conversions are needed. Children should look at the set of numerators especially when the denominators are the same. At first, children may need support to decide the best strategy when there are more than two fractions. Children may not look at both parts of the fractions when making their decisions about the order. Useful supporting sentences for parents. When fractions have the same denominator, the one with the_____ numerator is the greatest fraction. When fractions have the same numerator, the one with the ______ denominator is the greatest fraction. Key questions for parents: If a set of fractions all have the same denominator, how can you tell which is greatest? If a set of fractions all have the same numerator, how can you tell which is greatest?

Includes: Support mat divide 1 digit number by 10 decimals as tenths - Foundation , core and higher tenths on a place value chart - Foundation , core and higher with extra 7 reasoning sheets Model making, drawing and writing decimal numbers, showing that the decimal point is used to separate whole numbers from decimals. Children look at a variety of representations of tenths as decimals, up to the value of 1 whole. This leads to adding the tenths column to a place value chart for children to see how tenths fit with the rest of the number system and to understand the need for the decimal point. Children may forget to include the decimal point. If the number of tenths reaches 10, children may call this “zero point ten” and write 0.10 rather than exchanging for 1 one. Children may confuse the words “tens” and “tenths”. Questions to help with understaning the topic: If a whole is divided into 10 equal parts, what is the value of each part? How can you represent the decimal How are decimals like fractions? using a model? How can you convert between tenths as fractions and tenths as decimals? How is 1/10 like 0.1? How is it different?
