What Grade 5 coversDecimals, fractions you can multiply and divide, and volume you can work out rather than guess.
What they learnGrade 5
Year five ties the number system together. Place value runs both ways from the decimal point, fractions get multiplied and divided rather than only added, and shapes are measured in three dimensions for the first time.
