Common misconception
Children may not see 2-digit numbers as divisible by 5 if they are not in their 5 times tables.
Encourage children to apply the knowledge that a number is divisible by 5 when it has a ones digit of 0 or 5 Examples showing this idea can be explored and displayed to reference within the lesson.
Within this lesson, encourage children to identify numbers that are divisible by numbers previously covered, referring to the divisibility rules and why this is the case. This may help them to identify numbers that are not divisible by 5, which is as important as identifying those that are.
