57 x 2 78 ÷ 2

43 x 50 742 ÷ 2

36 x 25 700 ÷ 4

TU x TU(Long multiplication – multiplication by more than a

single digit)72 x 38Children will approximate first72 x 38 is approximately 70 x 40 = 2800

7

Using similar methods, they will be able to multiply decimals with one decimal place by a single digit number, approximating first. They should know that the decimal points line up under each other.e.g. 4.9 x 3Children will approximate first4.9 x 3 is approximately 5 x 3 = 15

8

HTU x TU(Long multiplication – multiplication by more than a single digit)372 x 24Children will approximate first372 x 24 is approximately 400 x 25 = 10000

9

Using similar methods, they will be able to multiply decimals with up to two decimal places by a single digit number and then two digit numbers, approximating first. They should know that the decimal points line up under each other.For example:4.92 x 3Children will approximate first4.92 x 3 is approximately 5 x 3 = 15

Chunking - We use repeated multiplication with numbers that we are confident with such as 10, 5 and 2.

15

Integers are whole numbers (positive or negative), not fractions or percentages.

Children need to be able to decide what to do after division and round up or down accordingly. They should make sensible decisions about rounding up or down after division.

This is needed when solving word problems eg

Kate needed 56 plastic cups for her party. They came in packs of 6. How many packs did she need?

18

In Year 5 children will continue to use written methods to solve short division TU ÷ U.Children can start to subtract larger multiples of the divisor, e.g. 30xShort division HTU ÷ U

Answer

20

Any remainders should be shown as fractions, i.e. if the children were dividing 32 by 10, the answer should be shown as 3 2/10 which could then be written as 3 1/5 in its lowest terms.

21

Extend to decimals with up to two decimal places. Children should know that decimal points line up under each other.

22

Written methods are to be used when calculations are too difficult to be done mentally.

These are some examples of calculations children should be able to do by the time of their KS2 SATs.

How many sevens are there in six hundred and thirty? KS2 2008 Mental test level 4

When a number is divided by seven, the answer is three remainder four. What is the number? KS2 2007 Mental test level 5

Calculate 848 ÷ 16. KS2 2006 Paper A level 5
