Active Maths in Year 5!

13th October 2025Miss K. Wilkinson

Our Year 5 students took their maths lesson outdoors today!

They completed mental math addition and subtraction circuits — combining learning with movement and teamwork.

Everyone loved the active, hands-on learning experience and the refreshing break in routine!

Factors and Prime Numbers

18th November 2021Miss K. Wilkinson

Year 5 have been learning about factors and prime numbers in Maths. They have learnt that a factor is a number that divides into another number exactly and without leaving a remainder. They also now understand that a prime number only has two factors – the number itself and 1.

Marvellous multiples and fabulous factors

In Maths, for the next few weeks, Year 5 are building on our knowledge of multiplication and division. We have been looking at multiples, factors and common factors. Striping back to basics, we have used four gets to create arrays to visualise numbers, which has really helped support our learning.
