Challenges and Investigations Maths Worksheets For Year 5 (age 9-10)
Expectations are high for the end of Year 5! All four number operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division are used to solve one-step and two-step problems involving money, measurement and time. Further work is carried out on exploring patterns and investigating general statements.
12 to 15 square
Place the digits in the rows and columns to make the total shown in the middle.
Choose the Correct Strategy
Not so much the correct answer needed; more choosing the method and an explanation of how to solve the problem.
Solve Single Step 'Real Life' Problems
Some of the questions are quite long, but they can be answered with a single step operation.
Solve Multi Step Word Problems
Much trickier questions as they all need more than one step to reach the right answer.
Solve Problems Involving Money
Money, money, money! Lots of money questions which will need a lot of working out!
Solve Problems Involving Measurement
Questions all on the theme of measurement, including length, capacity and weight.
Solve Problems Involving Time
Hours, minutes seconds are all found in these questions on time.
More on Odd and Even Numbers
More on odd and even numbers, plus a little bit on multiples.
Tests of Divisibility
Some tests of divisibility are easy, such as divisible by 2, 5 or 10. Others, such as divisible by 6 or 8 are much harder.
Use Binary Trees to Solve Problems
Binary trees are often used in science, but here we use them to sort numbers.
More Problem Solving
Some great ideas for children to use as starting points to investigate further.
Make and Investigate General Statements
Find examples to back up general statements about numbers, shape etc.
