White Rose Maths - Year 5 - Block 4 - Multiplication and Division (Problem Solving and Reasoning Practice)

A set of reasoning and problem solving worksheets to use alongside the White Rose Maths scheme. The questions have been differentiated 3 ways, each with an individual sheet of questions for that level. Answers are also included.

These sets of worksheets are for Year 5, Autumn Block 4 (Multiplication and Division), focusing on the first to eighth small steps. Details of how they have been differentiated can be found below:

Multiples:
• 1 Star sheet (Working Towards Expected Level): Be able to find and identify multiples of 2, 5 and 10.

Square and Cube Numbers:
• 1 Star sheet (Working Towards Expected Level): Be able to calculate square and cube numbers up to 10x10 and 5x5x5
• 2 Star sheet (Expected Level): Be able to calculate square and cube numbers up to 12x12 and 12x12x12
• 3 Star sheet (Working at greater depth): Be able to calculate square and cube numbers up to and beyond 12x12 and 12x12x12

Multiplying and Dividing by 10, 100 and 1000:
• 1 Star sheet (Working Towards Expected Level): Be able to multiply and divide whole numbers by 10 and 100.
• 2 Star sheet (Expected Level): Be able to multiply and divide whole and decimal numbers by 10, 100 and 1000.
• 3 Star sheet (Working at greater depth): Be able to multiply and divide whole and decimal numbers by 10, 100, 1000 and 10,000.

Each worksheet contains a total of 8 questions. These questions could be used as a whole, or cut up into strips of 4 questions for a shorter task. They could also be used for partner work, depending on the ability of the children.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Likewise, I am still developing these resources, so any helpful comments would also be appreciated.
