This Year 5 multiplication and division Week 2 lesson pack supports pupils in applying multiplication strategies to solve word problems before moving on to the formal written method for short division. Across the week, pupils progress from dividing without exchanges to dividing with exchanges, then tackle 4-digit ÷ 1-digit calculations and learn how to interpret remainders in context. Aligned with the White Rose small steps, each lesson is structured to build accuracy, fluency and mathematical reasoning.
