Primary 5 Mathematics Scheme of Work
In this academic session, students will learn how to perform division and multiplication with whole numbers containing more than four digits, as well as adding, dividing, and subtracting fractions. They will also learn how to solve problems involving squares and square roots.
The mathematics class is split into three sections Numbers and Algebra, Measurements and Geometry, and Statistics. Topics covered include Whole numbers, Roman numerals, multiplication and division of whole numbers, prime numbers, fractions, ratios, addition and subtraction of fractions, squares and square roots, estimation, percentages, algebraic processes
Teachers should teach students how to calculate by breaking down steps to the minimum and by encouraging the use of various strategies in solving math problems.
