Year 5 Maths
The numbers skills of students in Year 5 should allow them to apply place value in digits of any number and demonstrate a more sophisticated understanding of number patterns and fractions. They are dealing with more challenging multiplication problems, including using the formal algorithm, and calculating amounts of money using percentages. Their appreciation of space and time is becoming more subtle and abstract.

Karen Chugg
Love the progress reports and regular feedback
“Good service, follow up reports and recording of tutoring sessions means you can recap at any time. I forward my son's year 3 English and Maths detailed comments from his tutor each session (we are lucky enough to have the same tutor, Tessa, who is brilliantly matched with our son) to my son's teachers and everyone knows what is he is learning and whether he has been successful or not. He loves the one-on-one learning”View on Facebook
