Mathematics Learning in Year 5 - Parental Guide
There are many ways you can help your child in maths. Adults use lots of
maths at home, in everyday activities such as cooking, shopping and DIY. We use a range of maths while spending money, measuring, calculating, and so on. You can talk with your child about things like making a shopping list and estimating the cost. Using money is good for counting and doing maths in your head, and measuring is good for estimating.
On the back of this leaflet you will find a list of some of the things your child will be learning about numbers. In Year 5 the focus is on adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing large numbers. But maths also includes patterns, measuring, and shape and space. Your child will learn about all of these.
