This Year 5 maths challenge covers the main multiplication and division ground in four sections. Pupils list factor pairs of 24 and primes up to 19, complete squares and cubes like 5², work through formal methods including 1,452 × 23 and 5,425 ÷ 5, then solve a word problem about a bakery making 1,250 cupcakes a day. Answers for every question are included. Built around four England National Curriculum objectives.
