Mathematics — Grade 5

A complete, CAPS-aligned Grade 5 maths journey — from big whole numbers, factors and multiples, through fractions and decimals, into measurement, perimeter, shapes, transformations and bar graphs. Every idea comes twice: a precise Theory explanation and an intuition-first Visual picture, with worked examples rooted in everyday South African life and dozens of practice problems that guide with hints and full solutions.

What you'll learn

  • Read, write, compare, order and round whole numbers up to millions, and find factors, multiples and prime numbers
  • Add and subtract fractions with the same denominator, recognise equivalent fractions, and read, write and compare decimals to hundredths
  • Choose and convert everyday units of length, mass and capacity, and calculate the perimeter of squares and rectangles
  • Identify and describe 2D shapes and 3D objects, and recognise lines of symmetry, translations, reflections and rotations
  • Read, draw and interpret bar graphs and find the mode of a set of data

Before you start

  • Grade 4 number sense: place value to at least thousands, and addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of whole numbers
  • Grade 4 fractions and shapes: naming unit fractions of a whole and recognising basic 2D shapes
