Download includes differentiated worksheets for LA/HA.
A presentation to introduce or recap factors and multiples to Year 5/6. The PowerPoint gets children to first find factors and multiples for one number, then moves on to finding common factors and multiples of two numbers.
Suggested activities to accompany presentation:
1. Worksheet finding common factors and multiples (including lowest common factor and multiple)
2. Problems from nrich encourage higher ability children to apply their knowledge of factors and multiples
Finishes with a plenary word problem so children can apply their knowledge of factors and multiples.
A PowerPoint introducing the idea of simple scales to Year 5/6 children.
The focus is on Harry Potter/Hogwarts - the children are shown a scale model of the Hogwarts castle and then have to design a Hogwarts bedroom to a scale of 1:10 using given measurements of some furniture.
