What skills we want children to develop
Use knowledge to solve Reasoning and Problem Solving questions such as:
Multiples:
Always, sometimes or never true.
- The product of two even numbers is a multiple of an odd number.
- The product of two off numbers is a multiple of an even number.
Factors:
True or False?
The bigger the number, the more factors it has.
Prime:
Dorothy says all prime numbers have to be odd.
Her friend Amber says that means all odd numbers are prime, so 9, 27 and 45 are prime numbers.
Explain Amber’s and Dorothy’s mistakes and correct them.

- Look at multiples of other numbers, is there a pattern that links them to each other?
- How can you work in a systematic way to prove you have found all the factors?
- How does a Venn diagram help to show common factors?
- How many other numbers can you find that have this number of factors?
- Are there any patterns in the sequence of square numbers?
- True or False: cubes of even numbers are even and cubes of odd numbers are odd.
- Which direction do the digits move when you multiply by 10, 100 and 1000?
