Number of the Day Slides – Year 4 Math Warm-Ups (Phase 2)
NZ$8.00
Description
Challenge your students and deepen their mathematical thinking with these 70 Year 4 (Phase 2) “Number of the Day” slides. Designed to extend student learning, this resource focuses on advanced place-value concepts and increasing mental math fluency.
This phase moves beyond the basics, offering complex daily problems that encourage students to apply a wider range of strategies and deeper number sense.
What’s Covered in Phase 2:
These daily warm-ups are aligned with Year 4 curriculum standards, providing consistent practice in number structure and operations.
- Advanced Number Knowledge:
- Working with larger whole numbers (extending into Ten Thousands).
- Place Value: Identifying and manipulating Ten Thousands, Thousands, Hundreds, Tens, and Ones.
- Rounding: Strengthening rounding skills (e.g., Rounding to the nearest 10, 100, and 1,000).
- Properties: Analysing numbers (Odd/Even, Partitioning).
- Operations and Algebra:
- Mental Math Strategies: Quickly finding 10/100/1000 more or less.
- Multiplication & Division: Reinforcing facts through doubling, halving, and other operational prompts.
- Expanded Notation: Decomposing complex numbers into their standard form components.
- Written Fluency: Accurately writing number words for multi-digit figures.
Sample Activities:
Each of the 70 slides presents a daily “Target Number” designed to stretch student thinking, with prompts such as:
- Rounding: Round to the nearest 10, 100, and 1000.
- Sequence: What is 1,000 more? 1,000 less?
- Place Value: Partition the number into its place value parts.
- Operations: Double the number or find half of the number.
- Representation: Write the number in words and identify specific digits (e.g., “What digit is in the thousands place?”).
What’s Included:
- Teacher Guidance Slides: Overview of the specific “Knowledge” and “Practices” targeted in Phase 2.
- Daily Activity Slides: A comprehensive set of slides featuring a variety of challenging numbers to keep your daily review fresh and rigorous.
How to Use: Project the daily slide on your whiteboard. Students can solve the prompts independently in their math books, on mini-whiteboards, or work collaboratively in pairs for a “math talk” warm-up.
