What Year 5 fractions actually covers

By the end of Year 5 (Australian/Victorian curriculum), most children are working on:

Where kids commonly get stuck

The most common sticking point is comparing fractions — children try to compare the top numbers and miss that the bottom numbers matter. Close behind is equivalent fractions. These aren’t signs a child “can’t do maths” — they’re normal, and they’re very fixable with the right short practice.

The fastest way to know for sure

Rather than guessing, the free 5-minute Skills Check pinpoints exactly which of the skills above your child has, and which need a little more time — then gives you a 10-minute kitchen-table activity for tonight.
