What Mathematical Skills Are Mastered Through These Year 5 Activities

We've packed quite a lot into these worksheets! Students start with equivalent fractions (the foundation stuff) before moving on to mixed numbers, improper fractions, and decimal place value up to thousandths. The percentage work is particularly popular - students love the 100-square grids that make percentages visual and concrete. Each activity builds on previous learning whilst introducing new concepts at just the right pace.

Comparing Fractions, Decimals and Percentages: Why Year 5 Practice Matters

Here's something we've noticed after years of teaching: students who get regular, focused practice with fractions, decimals and percentages perform significantly better in their SATs and beyond. These worksheets provide exactly that targeted practice. They're perfect for homework, intervention groups, or those precious few minutes when you need engaging, meaningful work.

Key benefits that make the difference:

• Builds essential number sense for secondary school mathematics

• Develops problem-solving confidence through step-by-step progression

• Reinforces place value understanding with decimal work

• Connects abstract concepts to real-world situations

• Prepares students thoroughly for Year 6 SATs requirements
