Year 5 - Western Australian Curriculum v8.1: Mathematics - Eden Hill Primary School
Year level description The proficiency strands understanding, fluency, problem-solving and reasoning are an integral part of mathematics content across the three content strands: number and algebra,
measurement and geometry, and statistics and probability. The proficiencies reinforce the significance of working mathematically within the content and describe how the content is explored or
developed. They provide the language to build in the developmental aspects of the learning of mathematics. The achievement standards reflect the content and encompass the proficiencies.
understanding includes making connections between representations of numbers, using fractions to represent probabilities, comparing and ordering fractions and decimals and
representing them in various ways, describing transformations and identifying line and rotational symmetry
Western Australian Curriculum
fluency includes choosing appropriate units of measurement for calculation of perimeter and area, using estimation to check the reasonableness of answers to calculations and using
instruments to measure angles
problem-solving includes formulating and solving authentic problems using whole numbers and measurements and creating financial plans
reasoning includes investigating strategies to perform calculations efficiently, continuing patterns involving fractions and decimals, interpreting results of chance experiments, posing
appropriate questions for data investigations and interpreting data sets.
Achievement standard By the end of Year 5, students solve simple problems involving the four operations using a range of strategies. They check the reasonableness of answers using estimation and rounding.
Students identify and describe factors and multiples. They identify and explain strategies for finding unknown quantities in number sentences involving the four operations. They explain plans for
simple budgets. Students connect three-dimensional objects with their two-dimensional representations. They describe transformations of two-dimensional shapes and identify line and rotational
symmetry. Students interpret different data sets.
Students order decimals and unit fractions and locate them on number lines. They add and subtract fractions with the same denominator. Students continue patterns by adding and subtracting
fractions and decimals. They use appropriate units of measurement for length, area, volume, capacity and mass, and calculate perimeter and area of rectangles. They convert between 12- and
24-hour time. Students use a grid reference system to locate landmarks. They measure and construct different angles. Students list outcomes of chance experiments with equally likely outcomes
and assign probabilities between 0 and 1. Students pose questions to gather data, and construct data displays appropriate for the data.

Aboriginal and Torres Mathematics provides opportunities for children to strengthen their appreciation and understanding of Aboriginal peoples and Torres Strait Islander peoples and their living cultures. Specific
Strait Islander perspectives content and skills within relevant sections of the curriculum can be drawn upon to encourage engagement with:
Cross Curriculum Priorities
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander frameworks of knowing and ways of learning
Social, historical and cultural contexts associated with different uses of mathematical concepts in Australian Indigenous societies
Aboriginal peoples’ and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ contributions to Australian society and cultures.
Mathematics provides opportunities to explore aspects of Australian Indigenous knowing in connection to, and with guidance from, the communities who own them. Using a respectful inquiry
approach, children have the opportunity to explore mathematical concepts in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander lifestyles including knowledge of number, space, measurement and time.
Through these experiences, children have opportunities to learn that Aboriginal peoples and Torres Strait Islander peoples have sophisticated applications of mathematical concepts which may be
applied in other peoples’ ways of knowing.
Key to general capabilities and
Provide opportunities to engage with: Literacy Numeracy ICT capability Critical and creative thinking Ethical behaviour Personal and social capability Intercultural

Specific EHPS Teaching Strategies
Focus of journal entries should be: an entry at the beginning of a new concept being taught
an entry or entries during the teaching of the concept and
an entry on conclusion of the concept being taught
Maths journals allow students to reflect on their own learning and understanding and permit the teacher to gain a valuable insight into the students’ level of understanding. Journal entries should receive
teacher feedback through a comment, tick or other method. It is acceptable that when giving feedback on a student’s journal entry, not all other work carried out on that page may be marked. Teachers
are responsible for ensuring that an adequate level of feedback is being provided to the students.
Year 5 Assessment The assessment tasks underlined below are those that are to be collected and placed into the students Evidence For Reporting Files (EFRF). The EFR tasks will vary from year to year. These tasks are
to be decided and agreed upon within the cells.
The tasks listed under moderation are to be moderated within cells before being placed into EFRF. During moderation teachers should form a consensus on the grades allocated to the samples used.
SAER All students identified through Student Profiling as SAER must have an IEP/GEP
Week 6 of each Term - IEP’s / GEP’s to be reviewed and updated and submitted to School Services Coordinator
All Aboriginal Students and student under the care of DCP must have a documented education plan.
