What's included in the Multiples of 5 and 10 Varied Fluency resource and why is it useful?

Year 3 Multiples of 5 and 10 Varied Fluency is a set of worksheets during the Try it/You do section of your maths lesson. Each set has been carefully designed to help you meet each child where they are at to ensure progress for every child, not just the average child. The content includes a knowledge organiser for Multiples of 5 and 10 and 4 levelled worksheets covering recalling and using multiplication and division facts for the 5 and 10 times tables, including recognising odd and even numbers.

Knowledge Organiser

• Designed to support all children via key information and examples.

Scaffolded Examples

• Using the ones digit to decide whether a number is a multiple of 5 or 10; circling multiples of 5.

Support

• Q1: Circle multiples of 5 and 10 in a mix of 2-digit and 3-digit numbers; the ones digit rule is given.

• Q2: Write yes or no and the next multiple of 10; the first row is completed.

• Q3: Count notes or coins on a number track; decide if each total is a multiple of 10.

Core

• Q1: Circle multiples of 5 and 10 in a mix of 2-digit and 3-digit numbers.

• Q2: Write yes or no and the next multiple of 10; 3-digit numbers.

• Q3: Count notes or coins; decide if each total is a multiple of 10.

Stretch

• Q1: Circle numbers that must be multiples of 5 or 10; each has a missing digit.

• Q2: Write yes or no and the next multiples of 5 and 10; crossing hundreds.

• Q3: Decide whether amounts can be made using only one type of note or coin.

How do our varied fluency resources work?

Our varied fluency resources are not just about differentiation, but differentiation in an adaptive way. They work best alongside our teaching PowerPoints, which walk you through the whole lesson along with other lesson resources that you can find on our Multiples of 5 and 10 lesson page.

• After completing the main teaching of the Teaching PowerPoint (PPT), teachers assess whether children are ready to access their Varied Fluency worksheet or require support from the Scaffolded Examples sheet, based on how they have performed during the Model it (I do) / Practise it (We do) / Try it (You do) sequence.

• If any children need additional support, they can use the Scaffolded Examples sheet. This gives children the opportunity to secure key skills required for the Varied Fluency worksheet before they move on to it. The Scaffolded Examples sheet is designed to be completed as a group with a classroom adult.

• If children do not need the Scaffolded Examples, they can progress straight to a Varied Fluency worksheet suited to their level of understanding.

• Most children will use the Core sheet for their Varied Fluency practice.

• Some children may need the Support sheet. This is designed to be used after the Scaffolded Examples sheet, but some children might access this sheet without having used that scaffold.

• Some children may need additional challenge; the Stretch sheet will deepen their understanding of the core content.

Adaptive Maths Resources are not a separate lower-attainment route. They provide temporary and responsive support to help pupils access the same intended learning.
