What's included in the Round within 100,000 Reasoning and Problem Solving resource and why is it useful?

Year 5 Round within 100,000 Reasoning and Problem Solving is a set of 3 worksheets designed to be used during the independent reasoning and problem solving section of your maths lesson. Once children are secure in varied fluency, they are ready for these worksheets.

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 3 levels of content (Support, Core and Stretch) for Round within 100,000 covering rounding any number up to 1,000,000 to the nearest 10, 100, 1,000, 10,000 and 100,000.

Support

• Q1: Reasoning - explaining whether a 5-digit number has been rounded to the nearest 10,000 correctly; midpoint, previous and next multiple are labelled.

• Q2: Reasoning – which number is the odd one out of three 5-digit numbers; rounding to the nearest 10,000; a blank number line is given.

• Q3: Problem Solving - using five digit cards to build a number that rounds to a given multiple of 10,000; the range is given.

Core

• Q1: Reasoning - explaining whether a 5-digit number has been rounded to the nearest 10,000 correctly.

• Q2: Reasoning – which number is the odd one out of three 5-digit numbers; rounding to the nearest 10,000 across two different multiples.

• Q3: Problem Solving - using five digit cards to build a number that rounds to a given multiple of 10,000.

Stretch

• Q1: Reasoning - explaining whether a 5-digit number has been rounded to the nearest 10,000 correctly; numbers sit either side of a midpoint.

• Q2: Reasoning – which number is the odd one out of three 5-digit numbers; each number is rounded to the nearest 10,000 and to the nearest 1,000 and the two answers compared.

• Q3: Problem Solving - using five digit cards to build a number that satisfies two rounding conditions.

How do our reasoning and problem solving resources work?

Our reasoning and problem solving 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 Round within 100,000 lesson page.

• After completing the Varied Fluency worksheet, children are now ready for their Reasoning and Problem Solving work.

• Most children will use the Core sheet for their Reasoning and Problem Solving practice.

• Some children may need the Support sheet. This has been included to give specific children the additional support required to develop their reasoning and problem solving skills and access the core content.

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

• Within the Teaching PowerPoint, a question similar to what is presented in question 1 on these sheets is given, alongside sentence stems. This can be used to lead discussion on how to solve question 1 and give all children ideas on what reasoning can be used, via oracy, to tackle the question.

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