Daily Mental Maths Challenges - Year 5 Term 3
These fantastic weekly guides will save you bucket loads of time and preparation! These age-appropriate questions are a great resource for warmups or fast finishers when practicing their mental mathematics. The guides have been created for all weeks of the school year, simply display for students or print and turn into booklets.

Learning goals
- We are learning to express numbers as products of their factors, identify multiples and apply divisibility rules to large numbers.
- We are learning to create and use algorithms using multiple steps to experiment with factors, multiples and divisibility and identify and describe emerging patterns.
- We are learning to identify and describe factors and multiples of whole numbers and use them to solve problems.
- We are learning to solve practical problems involving addition and multiplication and choosing operations and efficient calculation strategies to solve the problem.
- We are learning to use efficient mental and written strategies and calculators to solve problems.
