1. Grade 5 · Analyze Data and Interpret Results: Students will analyze the data and interpret the results.

Line graphs (age 10+): Interpret and construct pie charts and line graphs; use these to solve problems

2. Grade 5 · Area and Volume: Students will extend area problems for rectangles to include fractions and build meaning for measuring volume.

Estimating answers (age 10+): Find the volume of right rectangular prisms by packing with unit cubes and show it equals l × w × h (or base area × height); apply V = l × w × h and V = B × h to solve real-world problems; calculate, estimate, and compare volumes of cubes and cuboids in standard units (cm³, m³)
Volume as additive: Recognise volume as additive; find volumes of composite solid figures made of two or more non-overlapping right rectangular prisms
Angles in triangles (age 11+): Derive and apply formulae for the area of triangles, parallelograms, and trapezia, and for the volume of cuboids and other prisms (including cylinders), connecting each formula to its geometric reasoning
Area with Fractions: Find the area of a rectangle with fractional side lengths by tiling with unit-fraction squares; show that the area equals the product of the side lengths

3. Grade 5 · Measurement: Generate conversions within the customary and metric systems of measurement to solve authentic problems.

Measurement Conversions: Solve problems involving the calculation and conversion of units of measure, using decimal notation and multi-step reasoning in real-world contexts

4. Grade 5 · Coordinate Geometry: Graph points on the coordinate plane to solve authentic problems.

Numbers on a number line: Understand a coordinate system defined by two perpendicular number lines (axes) with an origin at (0,0); know that an ordered pair (x, y) specifies a unique point where the first number gives horizontal distance and the second gives vertical distance from the origin
Plotting points in the first quadrant: Plot and read ordered pairs in the first quadrant of the coordinate plane; represent real-world and mathematical problems by graphing points and interpreting coordinate values in context

5. Grade 5 · Shapes and Their Attributes: Students will classify two-dimensional figures into categories based on their properties.

Classifying shapes by properties: Compare and classify geometric shapes based on their properties and sizes; understand that attributes belonging to a category also belong to all subcategories; classify two-dimensional figures in a hierarchy based on properties
Measuring length (age 10+): Recognise volume as an attribute of solid figures; understand that a unit cube (side length 1 unit) has 'one cubic unit' of volume and can be used to measure volume; a solid packed with n unit cubes has volume n cubic units

6. Grade 5 · Operations and Algebraic Thinking: Students will extend understanding of division and apply operational properties to solve problems involving order of operations.

Order of operations (age 10+): Look for and use mathematical structure: exploit the hierarchy of 2-D shapes to deduce properties; use order of operations and algebraic structure to simplify expressions; connect fraction–decimal–percentage equivalences; use ratio structure to solve proportion problems efficiently
Division with remainders (age 10+): Divide numbers up to 4 digits by a two-digit divisor using formal written long division, interpreting remainders as whole numbers, fractions, or by rounding as appropriate

7. Grade 5 · Operations with Fractions and Decimals: Students will apply and extend previous understandings of whole number operations to add, subtract, multiply and divide fractions and decimals.

Multiplying fractions: Understand a/b as a multiple of 1/b; multiply proper fractions and mixed numbers by whole numbers, supported by visual models (e.g. 3 × 2/5 = 6/5 = 1 1/5)
Fractions of a whole (age 10+): Interpret a fraction as division of the numerator by the denominator (a/b = a ÷ b); solve word problems involving division of whole numbers leading to fractional or mixed-number answers
Dividing fractions (unit fractions): Interpret and compute division of a unit fraction by a non-zero whole number (e.g. 1/3 ÷ 4 = 1/12); use visual models and the relationship between multiplication and division to explain the result
Mixed & Improper Fractions: Use the four operations with formal written methods applied to integers, decimals, proper and improper fractions, and mixed numbers, all both positive and negative
Fraction Addition Concepts: Understand addition and subtraction of fractions as joining and separating parts; decompose a fraction into a sum of fractions with the same denominator in more than one way
Adding and subtracting mixed numbers: Add and subtract mixed numbers with like denominators, including by converting to improper fractions or using properties of operations
Adding fractions (different denominators): Add and subtract fractions with denominators that are multiples of the same number by finding a common denominator
Dividing by Fractions: Interpret and compute division of a whole number by a unit fraction (e.g. 4 ÷ 1/5 = 20); use visual models and the relationship between multiplication and division to explain why the quotient is larger than the dividend
Multiplying fractions (age 11+): Interpret fractions and percentages as operators — find a fraction or percentage of an amount by multiplying, understanding that 'of' means multiply (e.g., 3/4 of 200 = 3/4 × 200 = 150)

8. Grade 5 · Fractions and Decimals: Students will extend understanding of fraction and decimal equivalence and ordering.

Decimals and fractions (age 10+): Associate a fraction with division and calculate decimal fraction equivalents for simple fractions (e.g. 3/8 = 0.375); recall and use equivalences between simple fractions, decimals, and percentages in different contexts
Fractions on a number line: Understand and use place value for decimals, measures, and integers of any size; extend the number system to include all positive and negative integers, decimals, and fractions on a single number line
Fractions on a number line (age 11+): Order positive and negative integers, decimals, and fractions on a number line; use the symbols =, ≠, <, >, ≤, ≥ to compare values including negative numbers and mixed representations

9. Grade 5 · Numeric Relationships: Students will understand the place value system.

Place Value × 10 and ÷ 10: Recognise that in a multi-digit number, a digit in one place represents 10 times as much as in the place to its right and 1/10 of what it represents in the place to its left
Patterns with Powers of Ten: Explain patterns in zeros when multiplying by powers of 10 and in decimal-point placement when multiplying/dividing by a power of 10; use whole-number exponents to denote powers of 10 (e.g. 10³ = 1000)
Reading Decimal Places: Identify the value of each digit in numbers given to three decimal places (e.g. in 4.378, the 7 represents 7 hundredths)
