This Year 5 Prime Numbers Reasoning and Problem Solving resource will allow children to apply their prime numbers and prime factors skills to. We've created two problem solving questions and one reasoning style question and have given two of each question type for children. This resource has been differentiated to three levels of challenge to support all learners in your class.

Use this worksheet alongside our accompanying modelling PowerPoint and our varied fluency resources for this lesson. An ideal independent task or you could use this in a small group or in pairs to encourage mathematical discussion and problem solving skills. A fully explained and modelled answer sheet is provided to aid marking.
