Year 5 Maths Key Performance Indicators

  • Read, write, order and compare numbers to at least 1,000,000 and determine the value of each digit
  • Interpret negative numbers in context
  • Count forwards and backwards with positive and negative whole numbers, including through zero
  • Round any number up to 1,000,000 to the nearest 10, 100, 1,000, 10,000 and 100,000
  • Add whole numbers with more than 4 digits, including using formal written methods (columnar addition)
  • Subtract whole numbers with more than 4 digits, including using formal written methods (columnar subtraction)
  • Add and subtract numbers mentally with increasingly large numbers
  • Identify multiples and fractions, including finding all factors pairs of a number, and common factors of two numbers
  • Multiply numbers up to 4 digits by a one or two-digit number using a formal written method, including long multiplication for two-digit numbers
  • Divide numbers up to 4 digits by a one-digit number using a formal written method of short division and interpret remainders appropriately for the context
  • Multiply and divide whole numbers and those involving decimals by 10, 100 and 1,000
  • Solve problems involving multiplication and division including using their knowledge of factors and multiples, squares and cubes
  • Solve problems involving multiplication and division including scaling by simple fractions and problems involving simple rates
  • Compare and order fractions where denominators are all multiples of the same number
  • Add and subtract fractions with the same denominator and denominators that are multiples of the same number
  • Multiply proper fractions and mixed number by whole numbers, supported by materials and diagrams
  • Read and write decimal numbers as fractions (e.g. 0.71 = 71/100)
  • Round decimals with two decimal places to the nearest whole number and to one decimal place
  • Read, write, order and compare numbers with up to 3 decimal places
  • Recognise the % symbol and understand that per cent relates to ‘no of parts per 100’ and write percentages as a fraction with denominator 100 and as a decimal
  • Solves problems which require knowing percentage and decimal equivalents of 1/2, 1/4, 1/5, 2/5, 4/5 and those with a denominator of a multiple of 10 or 25
  • Convert between different units of metric measures (for example, kilometre and metre; centimetre and metre; centimetre and millimetre; gram and kilogram; litre and millilitre)
  • Measure and calculate the perimeter of composite rectilinear shapes in centimetres and metres
  • Calculate and compare the area of rectangles (including squares) and including using standard units, square centimetres (cm2) and square metres (m2) and estimate the area of irregular shapes
  • Use all four operations to solve problems involving measure (for example length, mass, volume, money) using decimal notation, including scaling
  • Draw given angles, and measure them in degrees (o)
  • Distinguish between regular and irregular polygons based on reasoning about equal sides and angles
  • Complete, read and interpret information in tables, including timetables
