Year 5 Multiples of 10, 100 and 1,000 worksheets
Use known facts to multiply and divide multiples of 10, 100 and 1,000. A free editable Word sheet with eight fluency and six reasoning questions. The answers follow the questions: the same sheet again with every answer in red.
Download the worksheets
Print on A4 portrait: every page carries the sheet twice, side by side, so you can cut down the middle and two pupils each get a half to stick in their books. Every question sits in its own box and pupils write their answers in their book. The answers follow the questions in the file: the same sheet again with every answer in red. It opens in Word, Google Docs, Pages and LibreOffice, so you can change numbers, delete questions or add your own. There is no scaffolded version of this step yet.
Not scaffolded sheet
The same questions without the extra support. For pupils working at the expected standard: eight fluency questions first, then the reasoning questions.
Sample questions from this step
These are real questions from the first set of the sheet (two from the fluency page, two from the reasoning page). Open each one to see the answer.
- Complete the sentences.a) To multiply by 60, multiply by 6 first and then by ____b) To multiply by 200, multiply by ____ first and then by 100c) To multiply by 2,000, multiply by ____ first and then by 1,000
Show the answer
10; 2; 2
- Write the missing number.a) 200 × ____ = 400b) 4,000 × ____ = 8,000c) ____ × 20 = 4,000
Show the answer
2; 2; 200
- Jack and Brett are working out 9,000 ÷ 300.Jack’s workings9,000 ÷ 100 = 9090 ÷ 3 = 30Brett’s workings9,000 ÷ 100 = 9090 ÷ 3 = 270a) Whose workings are correct? ____b) Explain the mistake the other person has made.
Show the answer
Jack; Brett multiplied 90 by 3 instead of dividing it. 90 ÷ 3 = 30.
- The answer is 400.What could the question be? Write two multiplications and two divisions that have this answer.
Show the answer
for example 40 × 10 = 400 and 4 × 100 = 400 and 4,000 ÷ 10 = 400 and 40,000 ÷ 100 = 400
What is on each sheet
- Fluency: eight questions that start easy and get harder, with the key skill of the step practised in different ways.
- Reasoning: questions with pictures, tables and number lines (spot the mistake, true or false and explain, puzzles with one answer, an open-ended task).
- Answers in the same file: the sheet again with every answer in red, so there is only one file to download.
- Boba characters give the instructions in speech bubbles. They are decoration only.
Why one set of questions?
- Everyone works on the same content, and support comes from scaffolds instead of different, easier tasks. This follows the mastery approach described by the NCETM and the thinking in Ofsted's 2021 mathematics research review.
- Worked examples and visual representations lighten the load for pupils who need it, as the Education Endowment Foundation describes.
