Follow and create algorithms: Year 5 – planning tool

This planning resource for Year 5 is for the topic of Follow and create algorithms. Students create, follow, and modify algorithms involving a sequence of steps and decisions to experiment with multiplication and division, factors and multiples, and the relationship of these to divisibility. Students use digital tools such as spreadsheets and calculators to apply algorithms for divisibility and describe and explain any emerging number patterns.
