Mental and formal calculations are essential skills in the year 5 maths curriculum, as outlined by NCETM, focusing on developing fluency and accuracy in maths calculations, using a range of strategies and resources, including maths worksheets and online tools, to support pupil learning and progression, with an emphasis on mental maths and formal written methods, such as columnar addition and subtraction, to solve multiplication and division problems, and to develop problem-solving skills and reasoning, using real-life examples and scenarios, to make maths relevant and engaging, and to prepare pupils for future maths studies, with a focus on building confidence and competence in maths, and on developing a deep understanding of maths concepts and principles, to support future learning and success, and to meet the requirements of the maths curriculum, with a range of teaching resources and materials available to support teachers and pupils, including maths textbooks and online resources, to support maths learning and teaching, and to help pupils achieve their full potential in maths, with a focus on progress and achievement, and on developing a love of learning and a positive attitude towards maths, and on building a strong foundation in maths, to support future learning and success, and to prepare pupils for a wide range of careers and opportunities, and to help them become confident and competent maths learners, with a deep understanding of maths concepts and principles, and with the skills and knowledge needed to succeed in maths, and to make a positive contribution to society, and to achieve their full potential, and to become lifelong maths learners, with a love of learning and a positive attitude towards maths, and with the skills and knowledge needed to succeed in a wide range of contexts, and to make a positive impact on the world, and to become active and engaged members of society, with a deep understanding of maths concepts and principles, and with the skills and knowledge needed to succeed in maths, and to achieve their full potential, and to become confident and competent maths learners, with a love of learning and a positive attitude towards maths․

Tables and Calculations

In the year 5 maths curriculum, tables and calculations are a crucial aspect of maths learning, focusing on developing pupils’ ability to complete, read and interpret information in tables, including timetables, and to use maths to solve problems, with an emphasis on using numbers in context, including measurement, and on developing problem-solving skills and reasoning, using real-life examples and scenarios, to make maths relevant and engaging, and to prepare pupils for future maths studies, with a focus on building confidence and competence in maths, and on developing a deep understanding of maths concepts and principles, to support future learning and success, and to meet the requirements of the maths curriculum, with a range of teaching resources and materials available to support teachers and pupils, including maths worksheets and online tools, to support maths learning and teaching, and to help pupils achieve their full potential in maths, with tables and calculations playing a key role in this process, and with pupils learning to use maths to make sense of the world around them, and to become confident and competent maths learners, with a love of learning and a positive attitude towards maths, and with the skills and knowledge needed to succeed in maths, and to achieve their full potential, and to become lifelong maths learners, with a deep understanding of maths concepts and principles, and with the skills and knowledge needed to succeed in a wide range of contexts, and to make a positive impact on the world, and to become active and engaged members of society, with a focus on progress and achievement, and on developing a love of learning and a positive attitude towards maths, and on building a strong foundation in maths, to support future learning and success, and to prepare pupils for a wide range of careers and opportunities, and to help them become confident and competent maths learners, with a deep understanding of maths concepts and principles, and with the skills and knowledge needed to succeed in maths․

Geometry and Statistics

Geometry and statistics introduce pupils to shape, position, and data interpretation, using tables and graphs, with a focus on maths in context, and real-life applications, and problem-solving skills, and maths concepts․

Shape and Position

The year 5 maths curriculum includes the study of shape and position, where pupils learn to distinguish between regular and irregular polygons based on equal sides and angles, and identify properties of shapes․

Pupils also learn to describe positions on a grid, using coordinates and language, such as left, right, up, and down, and to identify and describe the properties of 2D and 3D shapes, including symmetry and tessellations․

Additionally, pupils learn to use mathematical vocabulary to describe shape and position, including terms such as ‘vertex’, ‘edge’, and ‘face’, and to apply their knowledge of shape and position to solve problems and complete challenges․

Overall, the study of shape and position in year 5 maths helps pupils to develop their spatial awareness, problem-solving skills, and mathematical vocabulary, and prepares them for more advanced maths concepts in later years․

Interpreting Data

Pupils in year 5 learn to interpret and understand data presented in various forms, including tables, charts, and graphs, and to identify patterns and trends in the data․

They learn to complete and read information in tables, including timetables, and to solve problems involving data, such as finding the mode, median, and range․

Pupils also learn to interpret and understand data presented in pictograms, bar charts, and line graphs, and to use mathematical vocabulary to describe the data, including terms such as ‘highest’, ‘lowest’, and ‘average’․

The study of interpreting data in year 5 maths helps pupils to develop their analytical and problem-solving skills, and to apply their knowledge of maths to real-life situations, such as understanding statistics and making informed decisions based on data․
