Year 5 Maths Practice Statement trackers
A simple tracker for your class. Practice Statements down the left, ten student-name spaces across the top, and blank cells to use your way.
Choose a strand below. Write in the names, then add your own ticks, dates, codes or notes. For a class of 25, print three copies of the tracker.
Choose a tracker by strand
Each preview shows the first page of that PDF. Longer strands continue over several pages, with space for the same ten names on every page.
Prefer to work online? Choose Copy to Google Sheets to make your own editable copy in your Google account. The original is view-only. Add student names and notes to your own copy, and add more student columns if needed.
In the Number PDF, each curriculum subcategory starts on a new page. Longer subcategories continue under the same heading.
Practice Statements included
These trackers cover all 66 stored Year 5 Maths Practice Statements, organised into their curriculum strands and skill groups.

- Dividing up to four-digit whole numbers by a one-digit divisor, with a remainder (e.g. 278 ÷ 4 = 69 remainder 2)
Rational numbers
- Reading, writing, and representing tenths and hundredths as fractions and decimals

- Adding and subtracting fractions with the same denominator or when one denominator is a multiple of the other, including improper fractions (e.g. 2/3 + 1/9 = 7/9)
- Adding and subtracting decimals to two decimal places (e.g. 1.31 + 0.22 = 1.53)
- Finding a non-unit fraction of a whole number, using multiplication and division facts and where the answer is a whole number (e.g. 2/3 of 24)
- Finding a whole set from a fractional part of the set (e.g. if 8 is 2/5 of a set, what is the whole set?)
- Finding common percentages (10%, 25%, 50%) of whole numbers
- Finding the whole (100%) when given 25% or 50%
Probability
Experimental probability
- Conducting repeated chance experiments or games, identifying the outcomes, and describing differences between them using likelihood vocabulary
- Identifying the likelihood of an everyday event as being impossible, unlikely, even-chance, likely, or certain (e.g. the event 'the sun will rise tomorrow' is certain)
- Placing everyday events on a number line according to their likelihood (e.g. placing the event 'you will eat something later today' between 1/2 and 1 as 'likely' or 'very likely')
Statistics
Developing knowledge from data
- Collecting continuous numerical data by taking measurements, and then applying specified rounding rules
