Max Maths, Year 5, Try it, Divisibility facts

In 'Max Maths Year 5', students are encouraged to explore divisibility rules through a series of engaging exercises. The 'Try it' section begins with a question asking which numbers 345 is divisible by. Since 345 ends in a 5, it is divisible by 5. The next question prompts students to consider the divisibility of 3,250, which ends in a zero, indicating it can be divided by 5, 10, and 2. The exercise continues with 79,200, ending in a zero as well, showing it is divisible by 5, 10, 2, and 100. Finally, students look at 89,336, which ends in an even number, 6, signifying it is divisible by 2.

The 'Let’s Practise' section further tests students' understanding of divisibility. For instance, 450 is divisible by numbers including 5 and 10 due to its ending in zero. The number 26, ending in an even number, is divisible by 2. The number 342, also ending in an even number, is divisible by 2. For the number 300, its zero ending indicates divisibility by 5, 10, and 100. The number 45 ends with a 5, making it divisible by 5, and 8020 ends with a zero, showing divisibility by 5, 10, 2, and 100. The exercise continues with a set of fill-in-the-blank statements where students insert numbers that satisfy various divisibility conditions, such as being divisible by 2, 5, 10, 100, or not divisible by these numbers. This activity helps reinforce the concept of divisibility and encourages students to apply these rules in different scenarios.
