Here you’ll find all our Year 5 maths worksheets, and Year 5 maths tests that are suitable for use during classroom lessons and as homework.

• What to expect from our Year 5 Maths worksheets

These KS2 maths worksheets cover every part of the Year 5 primary maths curriculum, to help your children practise and gain confidence in their understanding ahead of Year 6 and the KS2 SATs . Their focus is on retrieval practice – going over topics that children should already have covered and helping them strengthen their knowledge and understanding. 

Most of our worksheets come in pdf format, and all of them are printable. But if you’re running out of printer ink, they can be viewed online too. 

Every Year 5 maths test or worksheet comes with its own answer sheet, and guidance from the National Curriculum is included wherever it might be needed (for example, if there might be more than one correct answer for a question). Some worksheets also include model answers to help children break down the best way to solve a problem. 

Note: The National Curriculum does not specify any place value teaching for Year 5. However this is often a good time to begin revising the topic (among others) in preparation for the KS2 SATs. Have a look at these place value worksheets as part of your revision.

Similarly, addition and subtraction work is largely an extension of what was covered in previous years. Take a look at our collection of addition and subtraction worksheets for practice materials for these topics.

20+ creative alternative homework ideas for teachers

When giving homework, it must always be based on learning goals your students have to reach, just like in your lessons. But it’s sad to see that lots of teachers are using homework as extra lesson time. Of course, as a teacher, you’re on a clock. But that doesn’t mean your students have to suffer from it and keep working on those boring textbooks and worksheets at home.

Consider goals like attitudes, real-life experiences, and practice, physical exercise, social encounters, creative solutions, and philanthropy as crucial as your lesson goals. These are things students don’t just pick up in your classroom. These are things they pick up in life.

In this blog post, I’ll give you some innovative homework ideas that will engage your students more. These alternatives to traditional homework will thereby also teach your students new things that can’t be taught in the classroom. You will find a variety of homework ideas: online and offline.

I will mention homework alternatives for primary school and high school. Some of these ideas can be changed a little bit, so they are the perfect fit for the right audience.

20 Creative homework ideas

You can divide homework tasks into the following themes or categories:

• Crafts & arts
• Outdoor activities & outings
• Games and activities
• Physical activities
• Digital or computer activities
• Philanthropy & social work

💡 Good to know : all the ready-to-use homework activities are created with BookWidgets .

To engage their lifestyles even harder, you can additionally give them the assignment to create a TikTok in which they are jumping and singing.

The main purpose of this Mathematics Homework is to make your life, as a teacher or parent of Year 5 pupils, as easy as possible. All of the homework activities are based on the renewed Primary Framework for mathematics; however, as they assess specific learning objectives they can be used in conjunction with other planned teaching schemes.

Each homework activity sheet addresses a whole, or part of, a learning objective. The questions are written to test the understanding of your pupils once they have worked on a topic in the lesson.

With a full set of answers included you can be confident that your students are getting regular, relevant homework that tests their understanding across the Year 5 objectives and all seven core strands.

The Year 6 curriculum is structured into five blocks, reflecting the same structure as the other primary year groups. Each block is made up of three units, and each unit represents two or three weeks of teaching. The blocks are:

• Block A: Counting, partitioning and calculating • Block B: Securing number facts, understanding shape • Block C: Handling data and measures • Block D: Calculating, measuring and understanding shape • Block E: Securing number facts, relationships and calculating

Creative Homework Ideas

How can you create homework assignments that build on the day’s lessons and encourage creative, student-led learning? It’s a challenge for most teachers, especially as motivating pupils to complete homework can add a whole extra layer to your lesson plans. But it’s essential to bridge the gap between teacher and student learning –  the skills gained through independent study reinforces knowledge from your class, as well as a host of other benefits:

• Extended learning time – outside of the constraints of the school day, students are free to learn at their own pace and in their own environment.
• Independent learning – vital skills for exam preparation and higher education
• Teaches students to be resourceful and to overcome challenges independently.
• Gives students the freedom to be creative in their learning, gain valuable problem-solving skills and confidence in their own abilities.

Tips For Setting Creative Homework

• Plan independent learning both in and out of the classroom – you can monitor students effectiveness and address issues that may arise in the classroom before they become problematic for pupils at home.
• Don’t leave homework assignment to the end of the lesson, rushing through the task might leave some students confused which inevitably leads to a lower homework completion rate. Write plenty of time for explaining homework assignments into your lesson planning – read our Beginner’s Guide To Lesson Planning here
• Homework should to not too easy nor not too hard, offering pupils a challenge that reinforced the topics learnt during the day
• Give room for creative expression – allowing students to add their own diagrams, decorations or chose their own project topics from a selection. 
• Try using peer or self-assessment to mark homework – a double whammy of reducing your workload and allowing pupils to take control of their own learning.
• Include timings and explicit steps for completing more complicated assignments, especially for pupils that you anticipate might struggle. Comprehension of the task is the biggest hurdle in getting pupils to work on an independent basis.
• Self-driven projects, posters, creative tasks and research are more exciting than standard comprehension tasks and might encourage pupils that find sitting and writing dull or hard to complete the homework set – give students the freedom to learn and be creative in their home study.
• Provide specific instructions and internet safety reminders for research-led assignments. It’s very easy for children to find research overwhelming with a vast amount of information available online. Provide suggested websites and links in your homework to keep things on track!
• Don’t introduce a new topic for homework – keep it to topics that you’ve already covered in class
• Taking note of the subjects that excite and engage your class and set homework accordingly – try keeping dryer topics and  for the classroom so that you can monitor engagement
• Mark work promptly – essential to keep students motivated to complete work in their own time!
• Offering students the opportunity to select the homework that they would like to do from a selection guarantees a higher rate of completion. We’ve seen some teachers create grids or sheets of homework assignments for the pupils to select, or offer baskets of activities for younger children to take home and complete with an adult.

Creative Homework Ideas For Your Students

Setting appropriate homework tasks is a big part of your teaching role. Setting homework is an opportunity to ensure that your students have absorbed the lesson and can apply what they've learnt to individual study. Homework allows students to reflect on your teachings and broaden their understanding of a particular subject or topic.

However, motivating your class to view homework this way might be something of a challenge! Most young people find settling down to complete homework outside of school hours challenging. If the task feels overwhelming or difficult or seems monotonous, they might just go through the motions of getting it done rather than giving it their full energy and attention and completing it the best they can.

So how can you ensure students' love of learning continues outside the classroom and that they not only give their all to completing homework but actually enjoy it too?

By getting creative with the work you set and thinking about how you can engage and motivate students to complete their homework, you will undoubtedly see better results.

Here are some excellent homework ideas to help encourage creative, student-led learning.

Exciting, engaging homework ideas to keep your students paying attention

Write their own lesson plan.

If you want to give your students a chance to step into your shoes for the day, why don't you ask them to create their own lesson plan around a topic they've learnt about or are about to learn? This will give them a chance to showcase their knowledge, do research and think creatively. You'll also learn more about how your students like to work and what would make a good lesson from their perspective, which could help inform how you shape your lessons in the future.

Write a speech or story from a different perspective

If your students are learning about a famous historical figure or studying a classic text, why not get them to think about different perspectives? You could ask them to embody someone influential from a particular period or a character from a play or story and write a speech or story from that person's point of view.

Create a board game

Gamification is always a fun idea to try to inject energy into the classroom, and getting your students to create their very own board game is a fantastic way to keep things fun while also getting them engaged in their learning. Games could centre around a particular topic; they could be quiz-based, matching games, or number games - let them get as creative as they like. You can then have fun in class playing the best ones too.

Go on a treasure hunt

As a fun homework task that will get your students out and about, ask them to go on a treasure or scavenger hunt, finding certain things that are related to your topic. For younger children, this could be as simple as collecting leaves, flowers, or twigs they might find in their local park, or particular shapes or colours, but older children can benefit from this kind of task too by setting more complicated challenges.

Create a collage

Creating collages can be a fun and interesting way for students to demonstrate their learning, improve their research skills and use their creativity and imagination and can be based on a variety of different topics so they work well across lots of subjects. Encourage them to stick cutouts, fabrics, tickets, photographs, and any other relevant materials to make up their collages, and then they can take turns presenting these in class.

Film a video

If your students are older and have mobile phones, you could set a video-making task for them to do at home. This could involve interviewing friends and relatives about a topic or filming themselves talking about a specific subject, or answering a particular question. Students could share their videos in class and will love being able to use their phones in school for once!

Create a crossword

Get your students to think creatively about questions and answers by asking them to create their very own crossword puzzle, using the material you've taught them in class as a basis. You can ask them to bring all their crossword puzzles into class and then swap them with each other to see if other students can fit the answers in correctly.

Find fun facts

Almost every subject has weird and wonderful facts surrounding it. Did you know, for example, that the word 'hundred' derives from an old Norse term 'hundrath,' which actually means 120?! Or that water can both boil and freeze simultaneously? Encourage your students to find the most obscure or interesting facts about the subjects you are teaching them, and then you can all share your findings in class.

How to grab a last-minute Isa before the April 5 deadline

With just days to go it’s best to act now, do your homework and don’t panic

Don’t delay

The end of the tax year on 5 April is rapidly approaching, and, with it, the deadline to use this year’s £20,000 Isa allowance.

An Isa enables you to save, or invest, money without having to pay tax on what you make. You do not pay tax on interest on the cash in an Isa, or on income, or capital gains from investments held in one.

These advantages could be particularly valuable this year for cash and stocks and shares Isas .

Basic-rate taxpayers can earn up to £1,000 interest tax free outside an Isa, while higher-rate taxpayers can earn £500 under the personal savings allowance. With many savings rates now above 5%, the interest on £25,000 will often breach the £1,000 allowance.

Sarah Coles, head of personal finance at investment platform Hargreaves Lansdown, says: “Savers don’t need a huge pile of cash before needing to worry about a tax bill. With interest rate cuts on the horizon, you might think this is a short-term worry. However, even if rates fall in the short term, money in a cash Isa is protected from income tax for ever – regardless of what happens to rates, savings allowances and tax.”

Meanwhile, the cuts to the dividend tax and capital gains tax allowances in the current tax year, and the next one, make stocks and shares Isas even more appealing. “By protecting your money in a stocks and shares Isa, you don’t have to worry about either tax,” says Coles.

Know the rules

First, check if you have already used some of this year’s allowance. If you manage your Isa through an online account, your provider will typically display your remaining allowance when you log in.

Alice Haine, personal finance analyst at investment platform Bestinvest, says: “If you haven’t paid into your Isa in the previous tax year, you may need to reactivate it before you can contribute. This is a relatively straightforward process that can often be done on the phone.”

Some Isas are flexible, so you can take money out, and then put it back in during the same tax year without reducing your current year’s allowance. Your provider can confirm if your Isa is flexible.

The two most popular Isa types are cash, and stocks and shares. However, you can’t pay into more than one of the same type this tax year.

Coles says: “So if, for example, you pay into a stocks and shares Isa at the start of the tax year, you can’t take out another one with a second provider later in the tax year – unless you’ve arranged a transfer.”

From April this year, the rules are changing. You can open and pay into different Isas of the same type in a single tax year, such as two cash Isas.

Cash, or stocks and shares?

Your savings goals should determine which you should choose. If you are saving for a goal at least five years away, ideally longer, investing is likely your best option. But if you are saving for something like a new car in a couple of years or so, stick to cash.

When it comes to returns, stocks and shares win over the long term. According to investment firm AJ Bell, £1,000 invested in a global tracker fund 20 years ago would be worth £7,145 today. The average cash Isa would have returned £1,269 over the same period.

Cash Isa rates are now relatively high. At the time of writing, according to financial data site Moneyfacts.co.uk, there were a number of easy-access cash Isa providers paying more than 5%, including Moneybox (5.16%), Plum (5.15%), Virgin Money (5.06%) and Charter Savings Bank (5.03%).

Meanwhile, Kent Reliance building society was offering 5.07% on its one-year fixed-rate cash Isa.

However, Laura Suter, head of personal finance at AJ Bell, says that while cash is enjoying a heyday at the moment as interest rates have risen, “over the long term, cash rates tend to be low, with cash Isas returning 1.2% a year over the past 13 years, according to the Bank of England”.

For stocks and shares, watch out for fees. Investment company Vanguard offers a cheap option with its ready-made LifeStrategy funds holding global investments. It boasts on its website about its “low fees and clear costs” and is a Which? “recommended provider” for investment platforms.

Last-minute deals

Now may be a good time to move existing cash Isas to higher-paying providers, as well as use this year’s allowance. Providers often launch new deals to attract last-minute Isa contributions, and may offer cashback for transferring to their platform.

For example, Hargreaves Lansdown is offering £25 cashback to new cash Isa clients who pay £10,000 or more into the savings products within its platform.

But with investment Isas, consider ongoing costs over temporary offers.

Suter says: “When you’re picking your investment Isa provider, you want to make sure you’re getting the right one for you. There is a huge range of options, with different levels of support, different investment options and varying charges, so you should do your research to work out which is best for you.”

She adds that some questions to ask yourself include “do you need a full range of investment options, or will a pared-down list work? How much will it cost for your portfolio size compared with rivals, and would you prefer one that’s app-based or website-based (or both)?”

Invest at your own pace

If you are reluctant to dive into the stock market, that’s not a reason to delay. You can hold cash within a stocks and shares Isa until you are ready.

Haine says: “Provided the cash is loaded into the Isa before the tax year end, it is considered part of the current tax year’s allowance. The saver can then make investment decisions on their timeline – even if that happens in the next tax year.”

She adds: “If someone is opening an Isa in the final few minutes of the tax year, the last thing they need is to get into a panic trying to decide on an investment strategy that aligns with their attitude to risk and long-term financial goals.”

Some investment platforms provide interest payments on cash balances, so your money will continue to earn interest. Bestinvest pays 4.45% on cash balances in its stocks and shares Isa.

Beware delays

Most people open, or top up, their Isa online. The process is straightforward, requiring only a debit card or bank details, and your national insurance number.

However, if you leave it until the last minute, and the transaction isn’t completed by midnight on 5 April, you will have missed the deadline for this tax year.

If you fail identity checks, the provider may request documents, such as utility bills, or proof of address by post. Providers have varying deadlines for postal, online and telephone applications.

Typically, providers extend their helpline hours, often remaining open until midnight on 5 April to accommodate last-minute requests.
