Types of task for grade 5
Each type of task has its own page with an example and matching worksheets.
Calculating
- Quick calculationsGrades 1 to 6Lots of short calculations with plus, minus, times and divided by – for quick practice.
- Your own calculationsGrades 1 to 6Type in your own calculations, also with a gap – the Rechenkiste works out the answers.
- Column + −Grades 3 to 6Plus and minus written in columns in squares, with carrying – also with decimals.
- Long × and ÷Grades 3 to 5Multiplying and dividing written in columns in squares – from grade 5 also with three-digit factors and two-digit divisors.
- Order of operationsGrades 4 and 5Work out expressions with times and divide before plus and minus, and with brackets, e.g. (12 + 8) · 3.
- Calculating with decimalsGrades 5 and 6Add, subtract and multiply decimals and divide them by whole numbers.
- Square numbers & powersGrades 5 and 6Work out square numbers up to 20², powers of two, three and ten, write numbers as powers and find the exponent.
- EstimatingGrades 4 and 5First estimate with rounded numbers, then calculate exactly – or use the estimate to see which answer can be right.
- Mistake detectiveGrades 2 to 6Check other children's calculations: find typical mistakes – a forgotten carry, plus before times, a decimal comma as a separator –, say what went wrong and calculate it correctly.
- Expressions & equationsGrades 5 and 6Calculate with the variable x: find an expression for a situation, recognise equivalent expressions, find x on a balance and solve equations – with a check.
Understanding numbers
- Place value chartGrades 2 to 5Split numbers into hundreds, tens and ones – and back, from grade 5 up to a billion.
- Factors & multiplesGrades 5 and 6Find factors and multiples, use divisibility rules, split numbers into prime factors, find the HCF and LCM.
- Fractions of shapesGrades 4 to 6Read fractions of strips, circles and rectangles and colour them in – in grade 4 with pictures as a start.
- DecimalsGrades 5 and 6Change fractions into decimals and back, compare decimals, multiply and divide them by 10, 100, 1000.
- Rounding & estimatingGrades 3 to 5Round numbers and estimate answers.
- Roman numeralsGrade 5Read and write Roman numerals – with IV, IX, XL and the other symbols that are subtracted.
Measures
- Time spansGrades 3 to 5How long does something take? Work out the start, the length and the end.
- Lengths & weightsGrades 2 to 6Convert lengths, weights, capacities and, from grade 5, units of area, e.g. 1 m = 100 cm or 1 m² = 100 dm².
- ScaleGrades 5 and 6Use the scale to calculate from the map to real life and back – and work out the scale yourself.
Shape & space
- ReflectionGrades 1 to 5Reflect a shape in a mirror line on squared paper.
- Cube netsGrades 3 to 5Find out whether six squares can be folded into a cube.
- Area & perimeterGrades 3 to 5Work out the area and perimeter of shapes on squared paper.
- AnglesGrades 5 and 6Recognise types of angles, measure angles with a set square and draw them – printed true to scale.
- CoordinatesGrades 5 and 6Read and plot points on a coordinate grid, join them and name the shape.
- Volume & cuboidsGrades 5 and 6Count the cubes in a cuboid, work out the volume and convert units of volume (cm³, dm³, m³, l, ml).
Data & chance
Word problems
- Word problemsGrades 1 to 6Short stories with a question that is answered with a calculation – from grade 4 also with quantities and decimals.
- ProportionGrades 5 and 6Proportional relationships: complete tables of values, calculate via one item, compare offers by the price per item and check whether a relationship is proportional.
