Year 5 Syllabus
Year Level Description
The proficiency strands understanding, fluency, problem-solving and reasoning are an integral part of mathematics content across the three content strands: number and algebra, measurement and geometry, and statistics and probability. The proficiencies reinforce the significance of working mathematically within the content and describe how the content is explored or developed. They provide the language to build in the developmental aspects of the learning of mathematics. The achievement standards reflect the content and encompass the proficiencies.
At this year level:
- understanding includes making connections between representations of numbers, using fractions to represent probabilities, comparing and ordering fractions and decimals and representing them in various ways, describing transformations and identifying line and rotational symmetry
- fluency includes choosing appropriate units of measurement for calculation of perimeter and area, using estimation to check the reasonableness of answers to calculations and using instruments to measure angles
- problem-solving includes formulating and solving authentic problems using whole numbers and measurements and creating financial plans
- reasoning includes investigating strategies to perform calculations efficiently, continuing patterns involving fractions and decimals, interpreting results of chance experiments, posing appropriate questions for data investigations and interpreting data sets.

Measurement and Geometry
Using units of measurement
Choose appropriate units of measurement for length, area, volume, capacity and mass (ACMMG108)
Calculate perimeter and area of rectangles using familiar metric units (ACMMG109)
Compare 12- and 24-hour time systems and convert between them (ACMMG110)
Shape
Connect three-dimensional objects with their nets and other two-dimensional representations (ACMMG111)
Location and transformation
Use a grid reference system to describe locations. Describe routes using landmarks and directional language (ACMMG113)
Describe translations, reflections and rotations of two-dimensional shapes. Identify line and rotational symmetries (ACMMG114)
Apply the enlargement transformation to familiar two dimensional shapes and explore the properties of the resulting image compared with the original (ACMMG115)
Geometric reasoning
Estimate, measure and compare angles using degrees. Construct angles using a protractor (ACMMG112)
Statistics and Probability
Chance
List outcomes of chance experiments involving equally likely outcomes and represent probabilities of those outcomes using fractions (ACMSP116)
Recognise that probabilities range from 0 to 1 (ACMSP117)
Data representation and interpretation
Pose questions and collect categorical or numerical data by observation or survey (ACMSP118)
Construct displays, including column graphs, dot plots and tables, appropriate for data type, with and without the use of digital technologies (ACMSP119)
Describe and interpret different data sets in context (ACMSP120)
Year 5 Achievement Standard
Number and Algebra
At Standard, students identify and describe factors and multiples. They solve simple problems involving the four operations using a range of strategies. Students check the reasonableness of answers using estimation and rounding. They order decimals and unit fractions and locate them on number lines. Students add and subtract fractions with the same denominator. They explain plans for simple budgets. Students continue patterns by adding and subtracting fractions and decimals. They identify and explain strategies for finding unknown quantities in number sentences involving the four operations.
Measurement and Geometry
Students use appropriate units of measurement for length, area, volume, capacity and mass, and calculate perimeter and area of rectangles. They convert between 12 and 24 hour time. Students connect three-dimensional objects with their two-dimensional representations. They describe transformations of two-dimensional shapes and identify line and rotational symmetry. Students use a grid reference system to locate landmarks. They measure and construct different angles.
Statistics and Probability
Students interpret different data sets. They list outcomes of chance experiments with equally likely outcomes and assign probabilities between 0 and 1. Students pose questions to gather data, and construct data displays appropriate for the data.
