This Year 5 multiplication and division Week 2 lesson pack supports pupils as they apply multiplication strategies to solve word problems, then build confidence with the formal written method for short division. The week moves from dividing without exchanges to dividing with exchanges, before progressing to 4-digit ÷ 1-digit calculations and interpreting remainders in context. Aligned with the White Rose small steps, each lesson is carefully structured to develop accuracy, fluency and reasoning.
What’s included
- PowerPoints for each lesson with clear modelling and guided practice
- Differentiated Year 5 multiplication and division worksheets
- Reasoning and problem-solving challenges (including “Always, Sometimes, Never?” tasks)
- Lesson plans with mental starters, teaching points, assessment questions and common misconceptions
