Year 5 - Counting and understanding number

Blue emphasised text signifies end-of-year (EOY) objectives within Mathematics and Early Learning Goals (ELG) within Foundation Stage. In Years 1 to 6, Literacy does not have end-of-year (EOY) objectives.

  • Count from any given number in whole-number and decimal steps, extending beyond zero when counting backwards; relate the numbers to their position on a number line
  • Explain what each digit represents in whole numbers and decimals with up to two places, and partition, round and order these numbers
  • Express a smaller whole number as a fraction of a larger one (e.g. recognise that 5 out of 8 is five eighths); find equivalent fractions (e.g. seven tenths = fourteen twentieths, or nineteen tenths = 1nine tenths); relate fractions to their decimal representations
  • Understand percentage as the number of parts in every 100 and express tenths and hundredths as percentages
  • Use sequences to scale numbers up or down; solve problems involving proportions of quantities (e.g. decrease quantities in a recipe designed to feed six people)
