Autumn Term

In the autumn term Year 5 children will:

  • Read, write, order and compare numbers up 1 000 000 and determine the value of each digit

  • Count forwards or backwards in steps of powers of 10 for any given number up to 1 000 000

  • Add and subtract numbers mentally with increasingly large numbers

  • Round any number up to 1 000 000 to the nearest 10, 100, 10 000 and 100 000

  • Solve number problems and practical problems that involve ordering and comparing numbers to 1 000 000, count forwards or backwards in steps and round

  • Add and subtract whole numbers with more than 4 digits, including using formal written methods (columnar addition and subtraction)

  • Solve addition and subtraction multi-step problems in contexts, deciding which operations and methods to use and why

  • Identify multiples and factors, including finding all factor pairs of a number, and common factors of two numbers

  • Establish whether a number up to 100 is prime and recalls prime numbers up to 19

  • 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

  • Multiply and divide numbers mentally drawing upon known facts

  • Divide numbers up to 4 digits by a one-digit number using the formal written method of short division and interprets remainders appropriately for the context

  • Multiply and divide whole numbers by 10, 100 and 1000

  • 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 comparison, sum and difference problems using information presented in a line graph

  • Complete, read and interpret information in tables, including timetables

Spring Term

In the spring term Year 5 children will:

  • Compare and order fractions whose denominators are all multiples of the same number

  • Identify, name ad write equivalent fractions of a given fraction, represented visually, including tenths and hundredths

  • Recognise mixed numbers and improper fractions and convert from one form to the other and write mathematical statements > 1 as a mixed number

  • Add and subtract fractions with the same denominator and denominators that are multiples of the same number

  • Multiply proper fractions and mixed numbers by the whole numbers, supported by materials a d diagrams

  • Solve problems involving multiplication and division, including scaling by simple fractions and problems involving simple rates

  • Read and write decimal numbers as fractions

  • Recognise and use thousandths and relate them to tenths, hundredths and decimal equivalents

  • Round decimals with two decimal places to the nearest whole number and to one decimal place

  • Read, write, order and compare numbers with up to three decimal places

  • Solve problems involving numbers up to three decimal places

  • Multiply and divide decimals by 10, 100 and 1000

  • Recognise the percent symbol (%) and understand that percent relates to 'number of parts per hundred' and write percentages as a fraction with denominator 100 and as a decimal

  • Solve problems which require knowing percentage and decimal equivalents of 1/2, 1/4, 1/5, 2/5, 4/5 and those fractions with a denominator of a multiple if 10 or 25

  • Know angles are measured in degrees: estimates and compares acute, obtuse and reflex angles

  • Drawn given angles, and measure them in degrees

  • Identify angles at a point and one whole turn (total 360°) on a straight line and 1/2 a turn (total 180°)

  • Identify other multiples of 90°

  • Use the properties of rectangles to deduce related facts and find missing lengths and angles 

Summer Term

In the summer term Year 5 children will:

  • Identify, describe and represent the postion of a shape following a reflection

  • Use all four operations to solve problems involving length and mass, using decimal notion. including scaling

  • Interpret negative numbers in context, count forwards and backwards with positive and negative whole numbers, including through zero

  • Solve problems involving converting between units of time

  • Use all four operations to solve problems involving money using decimal notation, including scaling

  • Measure and calculate the perimeter of composite rectilinear shapes in centimetre and metres

  • Calculate and compare the area of rectangles (including squares) and including using standard, units, square centimetres (cm²) and square metres (m²) and estimate the area of irregular shapes

  • Estimate volume e.g using 1cm³ blocks to build cuboids (including cubes) and capacity e.g using water

  • Use all four operations to solve problems involving volume and capacity

  • Use all four operations to solve problems involving volume, using decimal notation, including scaling

  • Convert between different metric measurements (l to ml) and between metric and imperial units (l and pints)

  • Read Roman Numerals to 1000 (M) and recognise years written in Roman numerals
