White Rose Maths - Year 4 - Addition and Subtraction (Block 2) Varied Fluency and Problem Solving Practice Bundle

A complete set of varied fluency and problem solving and reasoning worksheets to use alongside the White Rose Maths scheme. All sets of questions have been differentiated 3 ways, each with an individual sheet of questions for that level. Answers are also included.

This bundle of worksheets is for Year 4, Autumn Block 2 (Addition and Subtraction), focusing on the small steps 1-7. Details of how they have been differentiated can be found below:

Adding and Subtracting 1s, 10s, 100s and 1000s:
• 1 Star sheet (Working Towards Expected Level): Be able to add and subtract 1s, 10s and 100s using concrete and pictorial representations. Moving onto more abstract methods.
• 2 Star sheet (Expected Level): Be able to add and subtract 1s, 10s, 100s and 1000s using concrete representations, before moving on to more abstract and mental methods. A few questions involve crossing boundaries.
• 3 Star sheet (Working at greater depth): Be able to add and subtract 1s, 10s, 100s, 1000s and 10,000s, using concrete representations, before moving on to more abstract and mental methods. These questions also involve crossing over boundaries.

Adding and Subtracting without exchanging:
• 1 Star sheet (Working Towards Expected Level): Be able to add and subtract two 3-digit numbers with no exchanging.
• 2 Star sheet (Expected Level): Be able to add and subtract two 4-digit numbers with no exchanging.
• 3 Star sheet (Working at greater depth): Be able to add and subtract two 5-digit numbers with no exchanging.

Adding and Subtracting with exchanging:
• 1 Star sheet (Working Towards Expected Level): Be able to add and subtract two 3-digit numbers with exchanging.
• 2 Star sheet (Expected Level): Be able to add and subtract two 4-digit numbers with exchanging.
• 3 Star sheet (Working at greater depth): Be able to add and subtract two 5-digit numbers with exchanging.

The varied fluency worksheets contain a total of 6-8 questions, some broken down into parts (a, b, c etc.) with 2 examples of each question type. This provides children with the varied fluency that White Rose aim for. These questions can be used as a quick starter and cut up so that only the first 3/4 questions are used, or given as more of a main activity with all 6-8 questions. They could also be used for partner work, depending on the ability of the children.

The problem solving and reasoning worksheets contain a total of 6-8 questions. These questions could be used as a whole, or cut up into strips of 3/4 questions for a shorter task. They could also be used for partner work, depending on the ability of the children.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Likewise, I am still developing these resources, so any helpful comments would also be appreciated.
