In Year 5 children are expected to calculate mentally with increasingly large numbers. Working with large numbers can cause difficulties – we do not use numbers in the tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands anywhere near as often as we use smaller numbers and there is a good deal of evidence to suggest that many people are simply not very good at processing large numbers. The best way to help is to provide plenty of practice so that children become more familiar with large numbers. We have a great collection of pages and have just added new resources in these categories:

• Add a multiple of 10,000 to a 6-figure number
• Add decimals
• Divide 3-digit numbers by 10
• Find multiples of 10,000 more than a number
