Write four equations that equal 5.
(10 X 5)/5 = 5
1 + 2 + 2 = 5
12 - 7 = 5
(2 X 2) + 1 = 5


Write four expressions that are equivalent to 5.

2.5 + 2.5
(25 - (4 X 5))
3 X 5 + 10




What do you notice about the coordinate grid above?
The line does not extend far on the x axis, but it goes to the top of the existing y axis. It’s a steep diagonal.



Enrichment
Complete the boxes that define this number. If you’re not sure look it up.   (see notes at bottom of page)
integer: Why?
All whole numbers are integers so 5 is an integer.
natural number: Why?
All whole numbers greater than 0 are natural numbers so 5 is a natural number.

What is the additive inverse of 5 :  -5


List properties and facts about the number 5.
5 is the third prime number when moving up the number line from 0. The primes 2 and 3 precede 5.
5 is the only prime number to end in the number 5.
Multiples of 5 end in 5 or 0.
5 squared = 25
5 is one half of 10.
a polygon with 5 sides and 5 angles is a pentagon.
(+5) + (-5) = 5
The absolute value of 5 and - 5 = 5
  • A rational number is any number that can be written as a simple fraction. Example 2 is a rational number because it can be written as 4/2.
  • An integer is a number, positive or negative, with no fractional parts. 4 is an integer, but 4.25 or 4 ¼ is not.
  • A natural number is a whole number from 1 upwards. (Whole numbers are positive integers.)
