Year 5 worksheets

Deeper reasoning and writing. Maths and English practice for this year.

Year 5 stretches number into decimals and percentages and asks writers to control more complex grammar. These worksheets are paced for thoughtful practice rather than endless drills.

What children typically practise in Year 5

Maths typically includes decimals and percentages, efficient multiplication and division methods, adding and subtracting fractions, and properties of shapes. English often includes relative clauses, modal verbs, persuasive writing, and inference supported by evidence.

Maths topics

  • Decimals and percentages
  • Multiplication and division methods
  • Fractions: add and subtract
  • Properties of shapes

English topics

  • Relative clauses
  • Modal verbs
  • Persuasive writing
  • Reading: inference with evidence

Revision ideas

  • Convert a short set of percentages to decimals and compare them.
  • Expand five simple sentences with relative clauses.
  • Find one piece of evidence in a paragraph to support an inference.

How parents use worksheets

Encourage your child to check answers with a second representation โ€” for example a percentage bar alongside a decimal. Talk through mistakes calmly.

How tutors use worksheets

Use Year 5 packs for spaced retrieval. Revisit decimals a week later with a shorter mixed set rather than one long sitting.

Year 5 FAQ

Is percentage work suitable for Year 5?
Yes โ€” as parts per hundred linked to decimals and fractions. We keep contexts grounded and avoid advanced GCSE-style percentage change.
How do tutors use the skills lists?
Each product lists skills and objectives so you can map a sheet to an IEP-style target or scheme of work without guessing.
