Year 5 Maths Worksheets and Teaching Resources

Either way, it’s all geared towards proving that every child can become a master of maths and sparking excitement about numeracy, and it’s made much easier with Master the Curriculum’s Year 5 White Rose Maths resources.

All of our resources are designed to be used for teaching maths mastery — they’re differentiated by complexity, not by number, allowing the whole class to progress through learning objectives at a similar pace. Plus, we offer various reasoning, problem-solving and fluency tasks to encourage deep learning.But our Year 5 maths worksheets and resources go far beyond simply facilitating a maths mastery approach. Each resource is designed to help children meet a specific learning objective that matches up to one of the White Rose Maths small steps. Our mission is to make it as easy as possible for you to embrace this popular approach to primary maths, with resources suitable for every step of a child’s journey.

Plus, because it’s important for children to stay engaged in education and get excited about learning as they grow older, especially as they enter upper Key Stage 2 and start tackling more challenging maths concepts, our Year 5 White Rose-style resources make maths fun, with creative contexts and engaging imagery.

Our resources also go above and beyond helping children understand maths problems — they engage little mathematicians and instil a love of learning because we know that when children enjoy maths, they find it easier to retain information and excel in this subject.

Number and Place Value — Year 5 maths lessons will build children’s confidence when working with larger numbers. They will learn to read, write, order and compare numbers up to at least 1,000,000. Year 5 number and place value lessons will also involve counting forwards and backwards in steps of 10, and working with negative numbers and roman numerals.
Addition and Subtraction — Children will learn to add and subtract numbers with more than four digits using both written maths and mental maths. Year 5 maths lessons will also help children develop their maths reasoning skills by presenting multi-step problems with different contexts — children will need to decide which methods to use and why.
Multiplication and Division — By the end of Year 5, children will be able to find all factor pairs of a number and common factors of two numbers. They’ll also build on their understanding of prime numbers and prime number vocabulary and learn to multiply four-digit numbers by one or two-digit numbers.
Fractions — As children work their way through Year 5, they’ll tackle increasingly challenging and complex fractions problems, which will involve recognising and converting mixed number fractions, multiplying proper fractions and mixed numbers by whole numbers, and writing decimal numbers and fractions. Children will also work with percentages and decimal equivalents.
Geometry — During Year 5, children will delve deeper into the topic of angles. They’ll learn to identify, measure and draw angles, and find missing lengths and angles using the properties of rectangles. Children will also learn to identify 3D shapes from 2D representations.
Measurement — Children will be taught to convert between metric units and use approximate equivalences between metric and imperial units. On the subject of conversion, they will also learn to convert between units of time. Measurement lessons will also teach children to calculate and compare perimeters, areas and volumes of shapes.
Statistics — Children will develop their understanding of data presentation by solving comparison, sum and difference problems using information presented in a line graph. They will also complete, read and interpret information in tables, including timetables.
