Common Year 5 maths mistakes these topics target
These come from the mistakes BrightHop’s own Year 5 lessons are written to address. They describe what the lessons teach, not a measured result.
- Place value to 100 000: Gives a digit’s face value, not its place value.
- Decimals: tenths and hundredths: Swaps tenths and hundredths.
- Angles: right, acute and obtuse: Thinks longer arms make a bigger angle.
Year 5 maths test: questions parents ask
Is there a free Year 5 maths test online?
Yes. This Year 5 maths test is free during beta and needs no account or email address.
How long is the Year 5 maths test?
It has 10 questions and takes about 6 minutes. The questions are drawn from 45 Year 5 maths topics, including Place value to 100 000, Decimals: tenths and hundredths and Ordering numbers and decimals.
What does the result show?
It shows which skills your child answered confidently and which may need more practice, with a suggested next step. A few questions give a pointer, not a conclusion, so repeat it on another day before you decide.
Is this the NAPLAN test?
No. NAPLAN is the national test for Year 3, 5, 7 and 9 students, and this is a short BrightHop check, not a NAPLAN-style paper. It does not predict a NAPLAN result. Our NAPLAN Year 5 page explains what BrightHop does and does not offer for it.
Is it a formal assessment or a school grade?
No. It is a short, informal check made by BrightHop. It does not replace a teacher’s assessment and it does not give a school grade or a score against other children.
Can my child take it more than once?
Yes. The questions change each time, so the check can be retaken.
What should I do if my child finds it hard?
Look at the skills marked as needing practice, then try a shorter topic check on one of them. Ask your child to explain their answers out loud; the way they explain a mistake often shows what is missing.
