Properties of Number Year 5 - PowerPoint

The Properties of Number section of the Year 5 Maths Teaching Resources focuses on helping students recognise and understand various number patterns. Specifically, the exercise delves into the patterns found within multiplication and division facts on a multiplication grid that goes up to 12 x 12. This foundational skill is essential as it aids in enhancing speed and accuracy when dealing with numbers out of sequence, which is beneficial for all other areas of maths. The resource includes a comprehensive grid displaying the products of numbers 1 through 12 when multiplied by each other, and encourages students to identify the patterns in the 6, 7, 8, and 9 times tables, continuing these sequences to reinforce their learning.

Additionally, the resource provides a series of exercises designed to deepen understanding of prime numbers, square numbers, and cube numbers. Students are tasked with identifying prime numbers within certain ranges and discerning true or false statements about prime number properties. They also investigate the concept of prime numbers further by finding pairs with reversed digits. The exploration of square and cube numbers includes the definition of these terms and examples of the first few of each. The exercises prompt students to experiment with forming square numbers by adding two prime numbers together. Moreover, the resource includes interactive elements such as Venn diagrams to classify numbers by their divisibility and links to external websites for further investigation and games to practice multiplication and division skills.
