Year 5 Maths Lesson Plans
5 free Year 5 Maths lesson plans for KS2. Each includes learning objectives, key vocabulary, a timed lesson structure and common misconceptions, and downloads as an editable Word document.
In Year 5, pupils extend their knowledge and skills across all areas of mathematics. Place value is extended to numbers up to 1,000,000, and pupils develop formal written methods for all four operations including long multiplication and short division. Fractions, decimals and percentages are increasingly connected, and pupils develop fluency in moving between them.
Fractions
Pupils develop their understanding of percentages as parts of a whole, building on prior knowledge of fractions and decimals.
Pupils learn to add and subtract fractions with the same denominator and with related denominators (where one is a multiple of the other).
