Children compare fractions where the denominators are the same or where one denominator is a multiple of the other. They also compare fractions with the same numerator or by comparing it to one half. with answer sheets. Extra reasoning activity sheet

Children compare fractions where the denominator or numerators are the same. The examples and bar models support them. They find the equivalent fractions by using bar models. Extra reasoning sheet attached.

Children solve subtraction calculation involving up to two exchanges. They correct the mistake and explain why the mistake was made. They solve two step word problem and find the missing number in the calculations , involving finding the possible greater number and explain how they solve this calculation. Extra reasoning activity attached

Children subtract up to 4-digit numbers with more than one exchange, using the written method of column subtraction.They solve subtractions involving two separate exchanges (for example, from the thousands and from the tens) as well as those with two-part exchanges (for example, from the thousands down to the tens if there are no hundreds in the first number).

Children use place value chart to solve calculations that involve up to two exchanges. They have support of pace value chart and numbers written down under each value column. They then solve word problem with support of calculations already written down for them. As an extension, they find the missing number in the bar model and use formal method to solve this calculation with the greater number written for them already.

Children work out subtraction word problems and correct the mistake and explain the exchange and possible misconceptions.

Children subtract up to 4-digit numbers, with one exchange. They complete the formal written method alongside any visual resources to support understanding. Before subtracting each column, ask, Do you have enough ones/tens/hundreds to subtract ____ ? If not, then an exchange is needed. The exchange could take place from the tens, hundreds or thousands, but there is only one exchange per calculation

Children use a place value chart and place value counters to answer the questions. They exchange the counters when needed. They then solve the calculations already written in the formal method.

These are subtraction worksheets targeted at Year 4. There are 3 well differentiated worksheets and 3 reasoning activities with answers included. The first worksheet includes place value counters and base ten to help with subtraction, and reminders to exchange. The second worksheet includes place value, base ten tables and some word problems with subtractions. The third worksheet includes word problems to solve subtractions with 4-digit numbers. The reasoning activities include missing digits or numbers.

There are three differentiated worksheets with answers plus three differentiated reasoning worksheets. They practice subtraction of two 4-digit numbers with one exchange in any column. Working towards: children supported by visual clues and word bank. Working above: children are challenged by word problems, missing numbers and reasoning problems.
