Mental calculation: all four operations

A Year 5 mental maths worksheet created by a primary school teacher to help children practise at home.

Can you work out the following in your head?

What are the four operations in Year 5 maths?

When teachers mention the four operations, they mean addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. In Year 5, children will practise adding and subtracting whole numbers with more than four digits using column methods. They'll also get better at mental maths, confidently handling larger numbers in their heads.

Children will learn to identify multiples, factors, and prime numbers. 

They'll use long multiplication to work with larger numbers up to four digits and short division for dividing numbers up to four digits. Plus, they'll tackle multi-step problems that involve all four operations, building their problem-solving skills.

How will this Year 5 mental maths worksheet help your child?

This worksheet was created by an experienced educator to help your child practise their mental maths skills and revise the four operations. They will need to work out the sums in their head and check their answers at the end. Parent tips are included to help you support your child as they complete the task.
