Year 5 Maths — AC v9
All 24 content descriptions for Year 5 Maths in the Australian Curriculum Version 9, grouped by strand — each one links to its own page, and TeachKoala can turn any of them into a complete lesson (your first is free).
Achievement standard (what coverage means)
- •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.
- •Students identify the mode and interpret the shape of distributions of data in context.
- •Students create and use algorithms to identify and explain patterns in the factors and multiples of numbers.
- •They express natural numbers as products of factors and identify multiples.
- •They plan and conduct statistical investigations that collect nominal and ordinal categorical and discrete numerical data using digital tools.
- •They apply properties of numbers and operations to find unknown values in numerical equations involving multiplication and division.
- •Students use grid coordinates to locate and move positions.
- •Students conduct repeated chance experiments, list the possible outcomes, estimate likelihoods and make comparisons between those with and without equally likely outcomes.
- •Students use their proficiency with multiplication facts and efficient calculation strategies to multiply large numbers by one- and two-digit numbers and divide by single-digit numbers.
- •Students use mathematical modelling to solve financial and other practical problems, formulating and solving problems, choosing arithmetic operations and interpreting results in terms of the situation.
- •They connect objects to their two-dimensional nets.
- •Students order and represent, add and subtract fractions with the same or related denominators.
- •They interpret and compare data represented in line graphs.
- •They check the reasonableness of their calculations using estimation.
- AC9M5M01choose appropriate metric units when measuring the length, mass and capacity of objects; use smaller units or a combination of units to obtain a more accurate measure
- AC9M5M02solve practical problems involving the perimeter and area of regular and irregular shapes using appropriate metric units
- AC9M5M03compare 12- and 24-hour time systems and solve practical problems involving the conversion between them
- AC9M5M04estimate, construct and measure angles in degrees, using appropriate tools including a protractor, and relate these measures to angle names
- AC9M5N01interpret, compare and order numbers with more than 2 decimal places, including numbers greater than one, using place value understanding; represent these on a number line
- AC9M5N010create and use algorithms involving a sequence of steps and decisions and digital tools to experiment with factors, multiples and divisibility; identify, interpret and describe emerging patterns
- AC9M5N02express natural numbers as products of their factors, recognise multiples and determine if one number is divisible by another
- AC9M5N03compare and order fractions with the same and related denominators including mixed numerals, applying knowledge of factors and multiples; represent these fractions on a number line
- AC9M5N04recognise that 100% represents the complete whole and use percentages to describe, represent and compare relative size; connect familiar percentages to their decimal and fraction equivalents
- AC9M5N05solve problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions with the same or related denominators, using different strategies
- AC9M5N06solve problems involving multiplication of larger numbers by one- or two-digit numbers, choosing efficient calculation strategies and using digital tools where appropriate; check the reasonableness of answers
- AC9M5N07solve problems involving division, choosing efficient strategies and using digital tools where appropriate; interpret any remainder according to the context and express results as a whole number, decimal or fraction
- AC9M5N08check and explain the reasonableness of solutions to problems including financial contexts using estimation strategies appropriate to the context
- AC9M5N09use mathematical modelling to solve practical problems involving additive and multiplicative situations including financial contexts; formulate the problems, choosing operations and efficient calculation strategies, using digital tools where appropriate; interpret and communicate solutions in terms of the situation
- AC9M5P01list the possible outcomes of chance experiments involving equally likely outcomes and compare to those which are not equally likely
- AC9M5P02conduct repeated chance experiments including those with and without equally likely outcomes, observe and record the results; use frequency to compare outcomes and estimate their likelihoods
- AC9M5SP01connect objects to their nets and build objects from their nets using spatial and geometric reasoning
- AC9M5SP02construct a grid coordinate system that uses coordinates to locate positions within a space; use coordinates and directional language to describe position and movement
- AC9M5SP03describe and perform translations, reflections and rotations of shapes, using dynamic geometric software where appropriate; recognise what changes and what remains the same, and identify any symmetries
- AC9M5ST01acquire, validate and represent data for nominal and ordinal categorical and discrete numerical variables, to address a question of interest or purpose using software including spreadsheets; discuss and report on data distributions in terms of highest frequency (mode) and shape, in the context of the data
- AC9M5ST02interpret line graphs representing change over time; discuss the relationships that are represented and conclusions that can be made
- AC9M5ST03plan and conduct statistical investigations by posing questions or identifying a problem and collecting relevant data; choose appropriate displays and interpret the data; communicate findings within the context of the investigation
