Welcome to the parent' area web pages. Here you will find links to end of year expectations for your child in mathematics.

Year 5 [Indigo]

• Solve one-step and two-step problems involving whole numbers and decimals and all four operations, choosing and using appropriate calculation strategies, including calculator use


• Represent a puzzle or problem by identifying and recording the information or calculations needed to solve it; find possible solutions and confirm them in the context of the problem


• Plan and pursue an enquiry; present evidence by collecting, organising and interpreting information; suggest extensions to the enquiry


• Explore patterns, properties and relationships and propose a general statement involving numbers or shapes; identify examples for which the statement is true or false


• Explain reasoning using diagrams, graphs and text; refine ways of recording using images and symbols


• Count from any given number in whole-number and decimal steps, extending beyond zero when counting backwards; relate the numbers to their position on a number line


• Explain what each digit represents in whole numbers and decimals with up to two places, and partition, round and order these numbers


• Express a smaller whole number as a fraction of a larger one (e.g. recognise that 5 out of 8 is 5/8); find equivalent fractions (e.g. 7/10 = 14/20, or 19/10 = 19/10); relate fractions to their decimal representations


• Understand percentage as the number of parts in every 100 and express tenths and hundredths as percentages


• Use sequences to scale numbers up or down; solve problems involving proportions of quantities (e.g. decrease quantities in a recipe designed to feed six people)


• Use knowledge of place value and addition and subtraction of two-digit numbers to derive sums and differences and doubles and halves of decimals (e.g. 6.5 ± 2.7, half of 5.6, double 0.34)


• Recall quickly multiplication facts up to 10 × 10 and use them to multiply pairs of multiples of 10 and 100; derive quickly corresponding division facts
• Identify pairs of factors of two-digit whole numbers and find common multiples (e.g. for 6 and 9)


• Use knowledge of rounding, place value, number facts and inverse operations to estimate and check calculations


• Extend mental methods for whole-number calculations, for example to multiply a two-digit by a one-digit number (e.g. 12 × 9), to multiply by 25 (e.g. 16 × 25), to subtract one near multiple of 1000 from another (e.g. 6070 – 4097)


• Use efficient written methods to add and subtract whole numbers and decimals with up to two places


• Use understanding of place value to multiply and divide whole numbers and decimals by 10, 100 or 1000


• Refine and use efficient written methods to multiply and divide HTU × U, TU × TU, U.t × U and HTU ÷ U


• Find fractions using division (e.g. 1/100 of 5 kg), and percentages of numbers and draw 2-D shapes, and to identify and draw nets of 3-D shapes


• Read and plot coordinates in the first quadrant; recognise parallel and perpendicular lines in grids and shapes; use a set-square and ruler to draw shapes with perpendicular or parallel sides


• Complete patterns with up to two lines of symmetry; draw the position of a shape after a reflection or translation


• Estimate, draw and measure acute and obtuse angles using an angle measurer or protractor to a suitable degree of accuracy; calculate angles in a straight line


• Read, choose, use and record standard metric units to estimate and measure length, weight and capacity to a suitable degree of accuracy (e.g. the nearest centimetre); convert larger to smaller units using decimals to one place (e.g. change 2.6 kg to 2600 g)


• Interpret a reading that lies between two unnumbered divisions on a scale


• Draw and measure lines to the nearest millimetre; measure and calculate the perimeter of regular and irregular polygons; use the formula for the area of a rectangle to calculate the rectangle’s area


• Read timetables and time using 24-hour clock notation; use a calendar to calculate time intervals


• Describe the occurrence of familiar events using the language of chance or likelihood


• Answer a set of related questions by collecting, selecting and organising relevant data; draw conclusions, using ICT to present features, and identify further questions to ask


• Construct frequency tables, pictograms and bar and line graphs to represent the frequencies of events and changes over time


• Find and interpret the mode of a set of data
