Number
- Plan this
AC9M5N01
interpret, 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
- Plan this
AC9M5N02
express natural numbers as products of their factors, recognise multiples and determine if one number is divisible by another
- Plan this
AC9M5N03
compare 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
- Plan this
AC9M5N04
recognise 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
- Plan this
AC9M5N05
solve problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions with the same or related denominators, using different strategies
- Plan this
AC9M5N06
solve 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
- Plan this
AC9M5N07
solve 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
- Plan this
AC9M5N08
check and explain the reasonableness of solutions to problems including financial contexts using estimation strategies appropriate to the context
- Plan this
AC9M5N09
use 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
- Plan this
AC9M5N10
create 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
Algebra
- Plan this
AC9M5A01
recognise and explain the connection between multiplication and division as inverse operations and use this to develop families of number facts
- Plan this
AC9M5A02
find unknown values in numerical equations involving multiplication and division using the properties of numbers and operations
Measurement
- Plan this
AC9M5M01
choose 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
- Plan this
AC9M5M02
solve practical problems involving the perimeter and area of regular and irregular shapes using appropriate metric units
- Plan this
AC9M5M03
compare 12- and 24-hour time systems and solve practical problems involving the conversion between them
- Plan this
AC9M5M04
estimate, construct and measure angles in degrees, using appropriate tools including a protractor, and relate these measures to angle names
Space
- Plan this
AC9M5SP01
connect objects to their nets and build objects from their nets using spatial and geometric reasoning
- Plan this
AC9M5SP02
construct a grid coordinate system that uses coordinates to locate positions within a space; use coordinates and directional language to describe position and movement
- Plan this
AC9M5SP03
describe 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
Statistics
- Plan this
AC9M5ST01
acquire, 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
- Plan this
AC9M5ST02
interpret line graphs representing change over time; discuss the relationships that are represented and conclusions that can be made
- Plan this
AC9M5ST03
plan 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
Probability
- Plan this
AC9M5P01
list the possible outcomes of chance experiments involving equally likely outcomes and compare to those which are not equally likely
- Plan this
AC9M5P02
conduct 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

Questions teachers ask
- What do students learn in Year 5 Mathematics?
- The Australian Curriculum v9 has 24 Mathematics content descriptions for Year 5. They are listed on this page with their codes.
- How do I plan a Year 5 Mathematics lesson for a content description?
- Choose "Plan this" next to the content description. Heapso opens a lesson plan set to Year 5 Mathematics with that code linked, so the plan is built around it. You can change anything before Pip writes.
