What Year 5 Maths students should achieve
Coverage is judged against the achievement standard — not by ticking every content description. These are the official Year 5 Maths standard sentences this code builds towards:
- They choose and use appropriate metric units to measure the attributes of length, mass and capacity, and to solve problems involving perimeter and area.
- They represent common percentages and connect them to their fraction and decimal equivalents.
- They estimate, construct and measure angles in degrees.
- Students perform and describe the results of transformations and identify any symmetries.
- Students convert between 12- and 24-hour time.
- By the end of Year 5, students use place value to write and order decimals including decimals greater than one.
The Algebra progression either side of AC9M5A01
A class can only meet this descriptor if they were taught the one before it. If yours hasn't, that's where the lesson starts — not here.
Taught before · Year 4
- AC9M4A01find unknown values in numerical equations involving addition and subtraction, using the properties of numbers and operations
- AC9M4A02recall and demonstrate proficiency with multiplication facts up to 10 x 10 and related division facts; extend and apply facts to develop efficient mental strategies for computation with larger numbers without a calculator
Builds towards · Year 6
- AC9M6A01recognise and use rules that generate visually growing patterns and number patterns involving rational numbers
- AC9M6A02find unknown values in numerical equations involving brackets and combinations of arithmetic operations, using the properties of numbers and operations
- AC9M6A03create and use algorithms involving a sequence of steps and decisions that use rules to generate sets of numbers; identify, interpret and explain emerging patterns
