Maths Builder resources supporting Year 5 of the Australian Mathematics Curriculum

Each ACARA content description below (shown in teal), is followed by the Maths Builder content, e-Text pages and worksheets, that relate to that content description.

Maths Builder content at Year 5 (e-Text 5) relates most closely to the Year 5 content descriptions.

Teachers should choose the worksheets appropriate to their students’ needs.
