White Rose Maths - Year 5 - Block 4 - Prime Numbers (Varied Fluency and Problem Solving)

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

This set of worksheets is for Year 5, Autumn Block 4 (Multiplication and Division), focusing on the fourth small step of prime numbers. Details of how it has been differentiated can be found below:
• 1 Star sheet (Working Towards Expected Level): Be able to identify prime numbers up to 20 and find prime factors of numbers up to 30.
• 2 Star sheet (Expected Level): Be able to identify prime numbers up to 100 and find prime factors of numbers up to 30.
• 3 Star sheet (Working at greater depth): Be able to identify prime numbers up to 200 and find prime factors of numbers above 100.

The varied fluency worksheets contain a total of 8 questions, some broken down into parts (a, b, c etc.) with 2 examples of each question type. This provides children with the varied fluency that White Rose aim for. These questions can be used as a quick starter and cut up so that only the first 4 questions are used, or given as more of a main activity with all 8 questions. They could also be used for partner work, depending on the ability of the children.

The problem solving and reasoning worksheets contain 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.
