ANY BOOKLISTS HERE ARE FOR THE OLDER WEEKLY PLANS – they are NOT for the new Flexible Blocks which have their own booklists accessible here: https://www.hamilton-trust.org.uk/blog/flexible-blocks-booklists/
Problem-solving Investigations - Year 5
The problem-solving investigations below match Hamilton’s weekly maths plans. We now also provide Year 5 maths as short blocks. We will eventually be phasing out the plans, as we believe our short blocks offer you all of the same advantages and more, including the integration of the problem-solving investigations into each unit of study. Find out more about the advantages of Hamilton's short blocks.

Children explore patterns in six-digit numbers using a ‘trick’ based on reduced numbers (casting out nines).
Children explore the facts that Arabic numbers use a base of 10, we can write numbers using a base of 3, and Roman numbers have no base.
Children work systematically to find equivalent percentages of different amounts. They look at patterns in percentage amounts.
Children use a knowledge of angles to draw lines of incidence and reflection on billiard tables of differing proportions. They identify patterns and make predictions.
Children use Durer’s Magic Square and create two- or three-digit numbers and find the difference between different pairs. They identify patterns.
Children create a triangle of odd numbers and identify the patterns when rows are summed or their end numbers are averaged.
Children find the product of a pair of two-digit numbers then reverse the digits of both numbers and find an identical product.
Children apply their knowledge of time to solve a multi-step problem involving dates and organised reasoning. They explain their ideas and justify reasoning.
Children work out the capacity of their classroom. They also convert from cm3 to ml and then to litres.
Children find the answers to a sequence of fraction multiplications and look for patterns in the answers.
Children divide 1234, 2345, 3456 by 3, 4, 5 etc and look for patterns in the remainders.
