What the test checks
Marks by strand: Number 22, Space 3, Probability 3 (of 28). Questions worth 2 marks need two steps or some working, so give a mark for a correct method with a slip in the final answer.
| Code | Strand | What it asks for | Practised by |
|---|---|---|---|
| AC9M5N02 | Number | Factors, multiples and divisibility. Write whole numbers as products of their factors, recognise multiples and decide whether one number divides evenly into another. | Factors |
| AC9M5N03 | Number | Compare fractions on a line. Compare and order fractions with the same and related denominators, including mixed numerals, using factors and multiples, and place them on a number line. | Comparing Fractions |
| AC9M5N07 | Number | Division and remainders. Solve division problems with efficient strategies, interpreting any remainder in context and giving the result as a whole number, decimal or fraction. | Division |
| AC9M5N08 | Number | Check reasonableness. Use estimation strategies suited to the context to check and explain whether answers are reasonable, including money problems. | Rounding |
| AC9M5SP02 | Space | Grid coordinate systems. Build a grid coordinate system and use coordinates and direction words to describe position and movement. | Coordinates |
| AC9M5P01 | Probability | Equally likely outcomes. List the outcomes of chance experiments with equally likely outcomes and compare them with experiments whose outcomes are not equally likely. | Probability |
What to check alongside it
A written test cannot hold every Year 5 skill. These strands need a graph, a picture, a clock face or a drawn shape, so assess them with a worksheet or a hands-on task instead:
- Algebra (AC9M5A01, AC9M5A02): Year 5 multiplication worksheets, Year 5 division worksheets
- Measurement (AC9M5M01, AC9M5M02, AC9M5M03, AC9M5M04): Year 5 measurement worksheets, Year 5 geometry worksheets, Year 5 12 & 24 hour time worksheets, Year 5 elapsed time worksheets
- Statistics (AC9M5ST01, AC9M5ST02, AC9M5ST03): Year 5 statistical investigations worksheets
Using the results
- Record the score by section, not just the total. A student with full marks on number but none on elapsed time needs different help from one who lost a mark in every section.
- Sections where most of the class dropped marks are the topics to revisit in the last weeks of term or to pass on to next year's teacher, with the AC9 code attached.
- Give Version A as a pre-test in Term 3 and Version B at the end of Term 4 to see growth on the same skills without students remembering the questions.
Revise before the test
- Year 5 daily maths review: a term of mixed warm-ups on the same content descriptions.
- Year 5 maths worksheets for any topic the test shows needs more practice.
- Test builder to make a shorter topic test with its own marking key.
Frequently asked questions
What does the Year 5 end-of-year maths test cover?
6 sections and 21 questions worth 28 marks, drawn from 6 Year 5 content descriptions in the Australian Curriculum (v9). Each section heading shows its AC9 code, so you can see exactly what each part checks.
Is the marking key correct?
Yes. Every question is generated in code and its answer is computed from the same numbers, so the marking key cannot contain a guessed or mistyped answer. Mark totals are added up in code too.
Why are there three versions?
Versions A, B and C use the same sections, question types and marks with different numbers. Use one as a pre-test and another at the end of the year, or give a different version to a student sitting it late.
Does it cover every strand?
It covers Number, Space, Probability. Algebra and Measurement and Statistics questions need a graph, a picture or a drawn shape, which a plain text test cannot hold, so check those with the matching Year 5 worksheets listed on this page.
Can I change the questions?
Yes. Open the test in the test builder to change topics, the number of questions or the marks for each section, then print your own version with its own marking key.
