For help with numbers, try our revision guide on factors and multiples. Before work starts though, time for some completely random facts about numbers and animals!
ONE: Apparently this is the average number of poos sloths have each week. They can lose up to 1/3 of their body weight each time they go. It is also the number of centimetres each hair grows in a month on average.
FOUR: Slugs have four noses. That would not be pleasant if they catch a cold!
FORTY: Tapeworms can grow up to forty feet long, and have 3000 segments. You would not want one of those living inside you.
FIFTY: Some ants can carry objects up to fifty times their own weight – imagine lifting a hippopotamus!
NINETY FIVE: A jellyfish is around 95% water
ONE HUNDRED: Cats can make over one hundred different sounds, unlike dogs which can only make around 10
TWO THOUSAND: Humming birds keep very busy, they can visit up to 2000 flowers a day to get nectar.
“How to work with Factors and Multiples” explains what factors, prime factors and multiples are. It includes explanations of how to find factors and multiples, and how to complete a Prime Factor Tree. Included, as always, are questions to try, and answers to check your understanding.
