Year 5 maths worksheet: written addition

Rarely, if ever, will you find a SATs addition question which has been laid out already in the traditional, or standard method. This Year 5 maths worksheet on written addition is the second in a series which shows children clearly how addition should be laid out and also gives them the opportunity to re-write questions from a horizontal lay out to a vertical layout. The hardest part of this is to ensure the numbers line up under each other, starting with the units on the far right. Squares can help with this in the early stages, but children should also get used to laying them out correctly without squared paper.

This pager can be found in our Year 5 Calculating section. Similar pages, with more detailed instructions, can also be found in our Four Rules section.

Year 5: Relate fractions and division (pg 2)

y5-relate-division-and-fractions-pg2

This is a good example of the worksheets we have for year 5 on fractions and division. Only six questions on this worksheet, but plenty of important concepts, which children often find very tricky to understand.

Firstly, that division can be represented as a fraction, and, of course, a fraction can be thought of as a division.

Secondly, an improper fraction (where the top number is larger than the bottom number) can be shown as a mixed number (a whole number and a proper fraction). This can be done by dividing the numerator (top number) by the denominator (bottom number) to find the whole part with the remainder being the numerator of the new fraction. The denominator remains the same.

These, and similar pages can be found in our Year 5 Counting and Understand Number section.

Written method of addition

The Primary Framework for Mathematics uses a variety of methods to explain written addition in years 3 and 4, but by Year 5 it is expected that children know and understand how to use the standard method, which is exactly the same method that most parents learnt when they were at school.

The key to success is to line up the numbers to be added under each other so that the units line up, then the tens and then the hundreds. This will also apply when decimals are introduced. By keeping to 2 sets of 3-digit numbers this place value idea is re-inforced. It also really helps if children know, off by heart, all the answers to adding 2 single digits together – you would be surprised to know how many children are still using their fingers to add single digit numbers because they have never learnt them!

This is the second in our series of written addition pages. More worksheets can also be found in our Four Rules section.

Year 5 Maths Worksheets Counting and Understanding Number

Our Counting and Understanding Number section for year 5 is growing quickly and we now have about 40 well written pages on this section. There is help with reading and writing larger numbers, including partitioning 5 digit numbers and writing numbers up to millions, which always proves tricky for children.

There are also worksheets on rounding to the nearest 1 000, ordering negative numbers, multiplying and dividing by 10 and 100, ordering decimal fractions, equivalent fractions and square numbers, as well as much more. One of the harder topics for Year 5 is percentages and we also have several pages introducing this topic.

Year 5 maths worksheet: negative numbers

order_negative_numbers_1_large

Children are most likely to come across negative numbers when using a calculator and they are usually taught about them in a practical sense in the context of measuring temperature. Number lines are also very helpful as they show that numbers continue after zero when counting down.

Here we have a maths worksheet, suitable for Year 5 children which asks for a series of five numbers, both positive and negative, to be put in order, with the least first. Calculating with negative numbers comes a little later and can cause a great deal of confusion, even in High School!

Year 5 maths worksheet: addition

One of the things which children find quite hard to do is to set out a question in the best format. In the Key Stage 2 tests addition problems are rarely, if ever, set out in the standard form that children learn.

This page tries to help with the addition of two 3-digit numbers. The first 10 questions are set out in the standard way, but the next ten are written across the page. When faced with questions like this it is important to re-write the sum to have the best chance of success. Of course, it is important to keep the numbers in line (units under units, tens under tens etc) and squares have been provided to help with this.

A very useful page for those who are still uncertain about how to approach these questions.

Year 5 maths worksheet: written addition

By the end of year 5 children should be confident with written methods of addition. This worksheet is a stage in this process. Some of the questions are set out how they should be. The later questions need to be set out in the same way. It is important to make sure that units are lined up with units, tens with tens etc and squared paper can be a help with this.

Remind children that when adding three digits that they can be added in any order: look for pairs that make 10 or other combinations that they recognise instantly.

Year 5 Calculator game: Multiples of 9

The final game in our calculator series looking at tables and multiples. Once again the idea of the game is to get four counters in a row, this time on a multiples of 9 grid. Recognising multiples of 9 is relatively easy as the digits always add up to 9 or a multiple of 9. But knowing exactly which multiple is needed is much harder. Why not challenge your children?!!

Year 5 Calculator game: 9 times table

Here we have a calculator game for two players. As well as the calculator you need the printed grid and some counters. Take turns to choose a number on the grid. Enter a number on the calculator that you think will produce the number in the square when multiplied by 9. if correct place a counter on the covering that number. Then it is your opponents turn. The aim is to get a line of four counters in a row, either across, down or diagonally.

Year 5 Calculator game: Multiples of 8

This is the next in our series of calculation activities to encourage knowledge of tables. It concentrates on multiples of 8 and like the other games we have published the aim is to cover a row of four squares. Some of the answers are quite tricky to find, such as finding what number multiplied by 8 makes 112?

Remember that the calculator can probably be made into a ‘multiply by 8’ machine by pressing: 8 x x = 0, then all you need to type in is the number and = to find out what 8 times the number is.
