Solving Problems (Year 4)

In KS2 Maths, children have fun solving problems from real-life situations. For example, in Year Four, they tackle challenges like converting measurements, such as centimetres to metres or minutes to hours.

Real problems are everywhere! Like figuring out how long it takes to walk to school or how much money you'll have left after buying sweets. But, how do we solve these problems? It's all about finding solutions! This quiz asks questions about everyday situations, testing your skills in addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, weights, distances, capacities, and time.

Life is full of exciting problems to solve. Take this quiz to practice and see how well you can tackle real-life challenges. Get ready for the adventures of KS2 Maths!
