  1. Million-Number MastersPupils explore place value up to 1,000,000, learning to read, write, order, and compare large numbers, round to any degree of accuracy, and work with negative numbers in real-life contexts such as temperature and sea depth.
  2. Primes, Squares, and CubesExplore prime numbers, square numbers, and cube numbers through clear explanations, visual models, and hands-on activities. Learn the special notation ² and ³, discover why primes are the building blocks of all numbers, and practise finding factor pairs and common factors.
  3. Multiply and Divide Like a ProLearn long multiplication with up to four-digit numbers and short division with remainders, understanding when to round up, round down, or write a fraction depending on the real-life context.
  4. Fractions, Decimals, and PercentagesA complete Year 5 lesson on fractions, decimals, and percentages — covering adding and subtracting fractions with related denominators, converting between improper fractions and mixed numbers, and switching fluently between fractions, decimals, and percentages.
  5. Area, Perimeter, and VolumeStudents explore area, perimeter, and volume through real-world contexts, learning to calculate perimeter of composite rectilinear shapes, find the area of rectangles using cm² and m², and estimate volume by counting unit cubes — discovering that different-looking shapes can share the same volume.
  6. Angles, Shapes, and MovementExplore angles, 2D and 3D shapes, and movement on a coordinate grid. Learn to measure and classify angles, identify regular and irregular polygons, describe 3D shapes, and translate and reflect shapes across all four quadrants.
