Workbook: 5A
Chapter: 3 Multiplication and Division
Lesson:5 Finding Prime Numbers and 6 Finding Square and Cube Numbers

Printer-friendly version: Friday Maths blog June 5

Good morning Year 5,

Today we will be consolidating our learning by continuing to find prime numbers and finding square and cube numbers.

To revisit prime numbers, please have a look at yesterday’s maths blog.

SQUARE NUMBERS

A square number is the result of multiplying an integer (not a fraction) by itself.

Example: 4 × 4 = 16, so 16 is a square number.

Here are the first few square numbers:
0 (=0×0)
1 (=1×1)
4 (=2×2)
9 (=3×3)
16 (=4×4)
25 (=5×5)

CUBE NUMBERS

A cube number is the result of using a whole number in a multiplication three times.

Example: 3 × 3 × 3 = 27, so 27 is a cube number.

Here are the first few cube numbers:
1 (=1×1×1)
8 (=2×2×2)
27 (=3×3×3)
64 (=4×4×4)
125 (=5×5×5)
… etc

How do cube numbers get their name?

If you have completed the MNP (please do it again even if you have done it in school – blank worksheets can be found online), then you can try the extension: square numbers extension

Please ask for help in the comments if you need it.

Good luck!
