Do you want to get children into the mindset of adding with exchanges? Try our Year 4 Add Two 4-Digit Numbers - More than One Exchange Prior Learning resource. This ready-to-complete worksheet includes three varied fluency questions, one reasoning question and two problem-solving questions. The questions on this resource relate to an objective previously covered in year 3, that is linked to this lesson. This enables children to feel prepared for the new learning that will take place.

Use this at the beginning of your lesson as a warm-up activity. You could gauge what children already know and what needs more work on. Alternatively, this can be used as an intervention activity or as a homework resource. The choice is yours! You can whizz through your marking with the handy answer sheep included.
