Grade 5 math, live.

The year the foundation is set: number sense first, then twelve full weeks on fractions and decimals, then measurement and data. Built so math stops feeling like guessing.

36 weeks. Every idea in order.

Our own curriculum for each grade. Nothing comes before the idea it depends on, so nothing has to be memorized without being understood. It goes beyond the basic grade-level sequence, with more time for reasoning, connections and problem solving.

Term 1: Number sense that holds

Weeks 1 to 12

A child who struggles later is often not bad at math, just carrying a shaky idea of what a number actually is. We rebuild that first, until working with big numbers feels ordinary.

  • Reading, writing and comparing large numbers
  • The four operations, done fluently and checked
  • Estimation and order of operations
  • Factors, multiples, HCF and LCM

Term 2: Fractions, decimals and the first negative numbers

Weeks 13 to 24

This is the term that decides how the next four years go. Fractions are where confidence is usually lost, so we take twelve weeks over them rather than three.

  • Fractions from equivalence through to division
  • Decimals and how they connect back to fractions
  • Converting fluently between the two
  • Integers and the number line

Term 3: Seeing the math in the world

Weeks 25 to 36

Where math stops being marks on a page. By the end your child is measuring, drawing and calculating real things, and can explain why the method works.

  • Lines, angles, symmetry and solids
  • Metric measures in decimal notation
  • Perimeter, area and volume
  • Percentage and reading data

What your family gets each term

The full Grade 5 outline
  • A print-ready student book for every week
  • A homework set for each of the days between classes
  • An answer key, so a child can mark their own work honestly
  • Advanced challenge problems for students who finish early
  • Mastery checks before the program moves on
  • A teacher guide with every answer worked, so any instructor delivers the same lesson

No sign-up. Pick a grade and see the level we actually teach at.

From Grade 5: ratio and proportion

How the laps add up

No leaderboards and no class rankings. Four steps, every week, and the only time your child is racing is their own last one.

  1. Lane 1: Find the starting line

    A free 20-minute assessment gives you a clear first picture of where your child is today. It is optional, and it becomes the baseline every later result is measured against.

  2. Lane 2: Three live classes a week

    Small groups on Zoom with a carefully selected instructor, working through our own 36-week curriculum one idea at a time. Missed a class? The recording stays up for 30 days.

  3. Lane 3: Practice in between

    Short sets on the days between classes, marked the moment they are handed in, so a mistake gets fixed while the lesson is still fresh.

  4. Lane 4: A report every Friday

    What they handed in, what they can do now, and the one topic worth ten minutes this weekend. Straight to your inbox, no login.

Small group · Live

Small groups, so there's room to ask.

We keep each group small, so questions get answered live, by the teacher, and a stuck child can be noticed early, not months later.

Grade 5 questions

Is Grade 5 too early for something like this?

No. Grade 5 is where the foundation is set. The first term rebuilds number sense, and the second spends twelve weeks on fractions and decimals, because that is where most children lose confidence.

What if my child is already behind?

Start with the free assessment. It points to earlier ideas that may be missing, and the curriculum goes back for them before moving on.

How is this different from a tutor?

A tutor helps with tonight's homework. Our instructors teach our own 36-week curriculum in order, live, in small groups, three times a week, with practice on the days between.

How much practice is there, and is it checked?

A short set on each day between classes, marked the moment it is handed in, so mistakes get fixed while the lesson is fresh. You get a summary every Friday.

So, how far can your child go?

Twenty minutes and it's free. Their starting point is the only one that counts.
