Differentiation for year 5 Estimate and Approximate:

Varied Fluency
Developing Questions to support using estimating and rounding to provide approximate answers to calculations. Using up to and including 4-digit numbers, rounding to the nearest 10, 100 or 1,000. Rounding whole numbers only.
Expected Questions to support using estimating and rounding to provide approximate answers to calculations. Using up to and including 5-digit numbers, rounding to the nearest 10, 100, 1,000 or 10,000. Rounding whole numbers; also rounding numbers with 2 decimal places (to the nearest whole) in the context of money.
Greater Depth Questions to support using estimating and rounding to provide approximate answers to calculations. Using up to and including 5-digit numbers, rounding to the nearest 10, 100, 1,000 or 10,000. Rounding whole numbers and numbers with 2 decimal places (to the nearest whole), all within the contexts of money and lengths.

Reasoning and Problem Solving
Questions 1, 4 and 7 (Reasoning)
