Multiplication and Division (2) - Division with remainders - Starter

The educational resource provides a variety of mathematical challenges for Year 5 students, focusing on division with remainders and other key mathematical concepts. The "Fluent in Four" revision section prompts students to solve a series of calculations that test their proficiency in division and mental arithmetic. For example, they are asked to find the result of 72 divided by 9, and to calculate half of 406 minus half of 14. The exercises are designed to reinforce their understanding of basic operations and to develop their ability to work with numbers quickly and accurately.

Another activity included in the resource requires students to engage with coordinate geometry by writing out the coordinates that spell a given name, in this case, "Zach". This task not only helps them to practice reading and plotting points on a coordinate grid but also aids in their understanding of spatial relationships. Additionally, students complete a place value exercise where they determine the value of rows of tens and ones, multiplying these to find the total value. The resource also includes a real-world application problem where students must figure out the minimum number of additional flowers a florist needs to fill vases evenly, which helps them apply division with remainders in a practical context.
