Year 5 · Ages 10–11
Level 5 Mathematics
Level 5 extends computation to larger numbers and decimals, introduces percentage and factors, and develops stronger geometric reasoning. This is also a NAPLAN year, so fluency and problem solving are both in focus.
Number and Algebra
- Identify factors and multiples and recognise prime and composite numbers
- Use efficient written methods for all four operations with whole numbers
- Add, subtract and compare decimals to two places
- Find equivalent fractions and order fractions with unlike denominators
- Add and subtract fractions with the same denominator
- Understand percentage as parts out of 100 and link it to common fractions
- Describe and continue number patterns with growing differences
Measurement and Geometry
- Classify triangles and quadrilaterals by their sides and angles
- Measure, estimate and compare angles using a protractor
- Calculate perimeter and area of rectangles and use square centimetres and square metres
- Convert between metric units of length, mass and capacity (e.g., mm, cm, m)
- Find locations on a grid using coordinates and describe transformations
- Describe translations, reflections and rotations on a simple grid
Statistics and Probability
- Plan and carry out investigations by collecting and sorting data
- Construct and interpret dot plots, column graphs and tables
- Describe outcomes of simple chance experiments using fractions
- List possible outcomes and compare what was expected with what actually happened
