Max Maths, Year 5, Practice, Divisibility facts

In the Max Maths Year 5 practice on divisibility facts, students are encouraged to explore which numbers certain figures are divisible by. The 'Let's Try It' section serves as an introduction, where pupils are asked to determine the divisibility of various numbers based on their endings. For instance, they are presented with the number 345 and must identify its divisibility by considering the digit it ends with. Similarly, they are asked to evaluate the divisibility of 3,250; 79,200; and 89,336, each time using the final digit(s) as a clue to the possible divisors, which include common factors like 2, 5, and 10.

The 'Let's Practise' section allows students to further engage with divisibility rules. They are tasked with identifying the divisors of numbers such as 450, 26, and 342, among others. This exercise helps reinforce their understanding of divisibility by 2, 5, 10, and other numbers. Additionally, there are fill-in-the-blank statements where students must insert any suitable number that makes the sentence true, such as finding numbers divisible by 2, 5, 10, and combinations of these, as well as numbers that are not divisible by these factors. These activities are designed to enhance their numerical reasoning and familiarity with basic divisibility rules.
