Years 5 and 6 are the upper years of your learner’s Key Stage 2 journey. During these years students will be developing their ability to work more independently and apply all the maths skills they’ve developed so far!

Thankfully, there are no formal maths assessments in Year 5, so the pressure is off this year! Learners will still be assessed informally throughout the year by their teacher to make sure they’re on track with their learning.
With so much to cover, helping your child with their Year 5 maths can be a super helpful way to help them get the most out of this important year! If you’re not sure where to start, this list of 26 maths word problems is a great way to figure out where your learner needs some support.
Our amazing maths app is another amazing option that will have your kids excited to practice their maths skills! The app creates a personalised programme of learning for each user, ensuring that your learner is working on the skills they need!
By the end of Year 5, students should have a really good grasp of all concepts of number. That includes using the four operations across all areas of maths and understanding the relationship between decimals, fractions and percentages.
As our learners approach the end of their primary school journey, there are a lot of targets that they’ll need to meet by the end of the year.
