Multiplication and Division (1) - Square Numbers (2) - Starter

The 'Fluent in Four' revision activities are designed to bolster the mathematical skills of Year 5 students during the Autumn term. These exercises focus on sorting numbers, multiplication, division, and understanding the properties of prime and composite numbers. The tasks are set out in a way that encourages the students to apply their knowledge through various challenges. One such task involves sorting a set of numbers into a table, ranking them from greatest to smallest. Additionally, students are asked to order a series of numbers in ascending order and complete numerical sequences to demonstrate their understanding of number patterns.

Another part of the revision includes exercises on square numbers and basic arithmetic operations. Students must multiply tens by single-digit numbers and perform addition with three-digit numbers, enhancing their computational fluency. The revision also touches on the concept of prime and composite numbers, where students categorise numbers based on whether they have exactly two factors (prime) or more than two factors (composite). This activity helps to deepen their comprehension of fundamental number properties. Through these varied and engaging tasks, students reinforce their multiplication, division, and number recognition skills, which are crucial for their mathematical development.
