We are well into the summer term now and it's time for the latest sets of mental arithmetic questions for years 4, 5 and 6. The year 4 questions should prove popular with children as they are a nice and easy set of addition of 2-digit questions. 64 + 29 might at first glance look hard to do 'in your head' but children should be using all kinds of strategies to make it easier e.g. add 64 and 30 to make 94 and then subtract 1 to make 93. The year 5 questions are on completely different themes, including place value, number sequences, rounding and percentages. The place value questions look at decimal fractions and the value of the the digit such as the 7 in 3.367. Knowing the value of digits to three decimal places is important when converting metric measures such as litres to millilitres etc.The final two questions look at finding simple percentages of amounts of money. Finally, the year 6 questions again concentrate on fractions, percentages and rounding, including rounding fractions to the nearest whole number. Several of the questions ask for decimal fractions to be written as fractions e.g 0.33 can be written as 33/100.
