Year 5 Maths

It is our aim that all children in Year 5 meet the following expectations:

Number

• Read, write, order and compare numbers to 1,000,000
• Know the value of each digit in numbers up to 1,000,000.
• Count forwards and backwards in steps of powers of 10 for any given number to 1,000,000.
• Round any number up to 1,000,000 to the nearest 10, 100, 1,000, 10,000 and 100,000.
• Count forward and backwards with positive and negative whole numbers through zero.
• Solve number problems and practical problems that involve all of the above.
• Read roman numerals to 1,000 (M) and recognise years written in Roman numerals.
• Continue and describe number sequences involving whole numbers, decimal numbers and fractions.
• Find factors and multiples of numbers including common factors of pairs of numbers.
• Find prime numbers to 100 and recall prime numbers to 19.
• Recognise and use square and cube numbers and use the notation for square ² and cubed ³.
• Solve problems involving addition, subtraction, multiplication and division and a combination of these.

Calculation

• Continue to develop use of column method for addition and subtraction using larger numbers.
• Solve addition and subtraction multi step problems using estimation to check their answer is sensible.
• Use a formal written method for multiplication of a four digit number by a one and two digit number – long multiplication.
• Divide numbers using short division of a four digit by one digit with remainders.
• Multiply and divide whole numbers including decimals by 10, 100 and 1,000.

Times tables

Children know times table facts to 12 x 12 and the associate division fact. They can use these to support calculations including using them to assist in larger calculations.

Fractions

• Compare and order fractions whose denominators are all multiples of the same number.
• Recognise equivalent fractions.
• Recognise and convert mixed and improper fractions.
• Add and subtract fractions where denominators are all multiples or factors of the same number.
• Multiply proper fractions and mixed numbers by whole numbers.
• Read and write decimal numbers as fractions
• Recognise and use thousandths.
• Round decimal numbers with two decimal places to the nearest whole number and tenth.
• Read, write order and compare numbers to three decimal places.
• Solve problems involving numbers up to three decimal places.
• Recognise the percent symbol and understand that percent relates to ‘number of parts per hundred’ and write percentages as a fraction and decimal number.
• Know the percentage equivalents for ½, ¼, 1/5, 2/5, 4/5.
• Count in decimal numbers and fractions including bridging zero.
• Add and subtract decimals number.
• Solve problems involving decimal numbers.

Measure

• Convert between different units of metric measure.
• Understand and use approximate equivalences for metric units and common imperial measurements e.g. inches, pounds and pints.
• Measure and calculate the perimeter of complex rectangular shapes.
• Calculate the area of rectangles using the formula height times the width.
• Estimate the volume using 1cm³ blocks to build cuboids.
• Solve problems converting between units of time.
• Use all four operations to solve problems involving measure and time.
• Find unknown lengths to find the area and perimeter.

Geometry

• Identify 3D shapes from a 2D representation.
• Use degrees to measure angles and estimate using their knowledge of acute, right angle and obtuse. Know what a reflex angle is and use this to support estimation of size of an angle.
• Draw and measure angles using a protractor.
• Use properties of shapes to support finding of missing lengths and angles.
• Reason about shapes and recognise regular and irregular shapes.
• Draw and measure lines accurately to the nearest mm.
• Use angle sum facts to find missing angles.
• Identify, describe and representation of a shape following a reflection or translation.

Statistics

• Solve comparison, sum and difference problems using information presented in a line graph.
• Complete, read and interpret information in tables including timetables.
• Decide the best way to present data and explain why.
