    Year 5 Maths Curriculum
    Children will be taught all strands of Maths, Number and Place Value, Addition and Subtraction, Multiplication and Division, Fractions, Measurement, Properties of Shape, Position and Direction. Within this, they will be taught a range of mathematical skills with a specific focus on decimal fractions and reviewing the quick recall of the times tables. Children will be taught real life maths and investigative maths where they apply their mathematical learning in a Project Based Learning approach, for example using scale factors to support the understanding of the size of the planets.
     

    Number and Place Value

    • Interpret negative numbers in context, count forwards and backwards with positive and negative whole numbers, including through zero
    • Count forwards or backwards in steps of powers of 10 for any given number up to 1 000 000
    • Read, write, order and compare numbers to at least 1 000 000 and determine the value of each digit (appears also in Reading and Writing Numbers)
    • Read Roman numerals to 1 000 (M) and recognise years written in Roman numerals.
    • Read, write, order and compare numbers to at least 1 000 000 and determine the value of each digit (appears also in Reading and Writing Numbers)
    • Recognise and use thousandths and relate them to tenths, hundredths and decimal equivalents (copied from Fractions)
    • Round any number up to 1 000 000 to the nearest 10, 100, 1 000, 10 000 and 100 000
    • Round decimals with two decimal places to the nearest whole number and to one decimal place (copied from Fractions)
    • Solve number problems and practical problems that involve all of the above
     

    Addition and Subtraction

    • Add and subtract numbers mentally with increasingly large numbers
    • Add and subtract whole numbers with more than 4 digits, including using formal written methods (columnar addition and subtraction)
    • Use rounding to check answers to calculations and determine, in the context of a problem, levels of accuracy
    • Solve addition and subtraction multi-step problems in contexts, deciding which operations and methods to use and why
     

    Multiplication and Division

    • Count forwards or backwards in steps of powers of 10 for any given number up to 1 000 000 (copied from Number and Place Value)
    • Multiply and divide numbers mentally drawing upon known facts
    • Multiply and divide whole numbers and those involving decimals by 10, 100 and 1000
    • Multiply numbers up to 4 digits by a one- or two-digit number using a formal written method, including long multiplication for two-digit numbers
    • Divide numbers up to 4 digits by a one-digit number using the formal written method of short division and interpret remainders appropriately for the context
    • Identify multiples and factors, including finding all factor pairs of a number, and common factors of two numbers.
    • Know and use the vocabulary of prime numbers, prime factors and composite (non-prime) numbers
    • Establish whether a number up to 100 is prime and recall prime numbers up to 19
    • Recognise and use square numbers and cube numbers, and the notation for squared (2) and cubed (3)
    • Solve problems involving multiplication and division including using their knowledge of factors and multiples, squares and cubes
    • Solve problems involving addition, subtraction, multiplication and division and a combination of these, including understanding the meaning of the equals sign
    • Solve problems involving multiplication and division, including scaling by simple fractions and problems involving simple rates
     

    Fractions (including Decimals and Percentages)

    • Recognise and use thousandths and relate them to tenths, hundredths and decimal equivalents (appears also in Equivalence)
    • Compare and order fractions whose denominators are all multiples of the same number
    • Read, write, order and compare numbers with up to three decimal places
    • Round decimals with two decimal places to the nearest whole number and to one decimal place
    • Identify, name and write equivalent fractions of a given fraction, represented visually, including tenths and hundredths
    • Read and write decimal numbers as fractions (e.g. 0.71 = 71/100)
    • Recognise and use thousandths and relate them to tenths, hundredths and decimal equivalents
    • Recognise the per cent symbol (%) and understand that per cent relates to “number of parts per hundred”, and write percentages as a fraction with denominator 100 as a decimal fraction
    • Add and subtract fractions with the same denominator and multiples of the same number
    • Recognise mixed numbers and improper fractions and convert from one form to the other and write mathematical statements > 1 as a mixed number (e.g. 2/5 + 4/5 = 6/5 = 11/5)
    • Multiply proper fractions and mixed numbers by whole numbers, supported by materials and diagrams
    • Solve problems involving numbers up to three decimal places
    • Solve problems which require knowing percentage and decimal equivalents of 1/2, 1/4, 1/5, 2/5, 4/5 and those with a denominator of a multiple of 10 or 25.
     

    Algebra

    • Use the properties of rectangles to deduce related facts and find missing lengths and angles(copied from Geometry: Properties of Shapes)
     

    Measurement

    • Calculate and compare the area of squares and rectangles including using standard units, square centimetres (cm2) and square metres (m2) and estimate the area of irregular shapes (also included in measuring)
    • Estimate volume (e.g. using 1 cm3 blocks to build cubes and cuboids) and capacity (e.g. using water)
    • Use all four operations to solve problems involving measure (e.g. length, mass, volume, money) using decimal notation including scaling.
