Fractions, order of operations, geometry and large numbers: assessments and mind maps for the upper primary years, instantly as a PDF.
In grades 5 and 6 maths becomes more abstract. Fractions are at the centre: recognising and calculating parts, showing fractions with models and on the number line, mixed numbers and unit fractions. Decimals and percentages follow, as well as the order of operations with brackets, rounding and estimating with large numbers and, in geometry, reflection symmetry, reflecting in a coordinate grid, point and rotational symmetry.
These years are also the foundation for moving on to lower secondary school and for gymnasium preparation. Gaps in fractions or the order of operations show up there straight away. The assessments below make such gaps visible early, and the mind maps sum up a topic on one page for revision.
The content follows the Swiss Lehrplan 21 curriculum. Exactly when a topic is covered depends on the canton, the school and the textbook.
11 pages of calculating, puzzling and revising: large numbers, written calculation, fractions, decimals, percentages, measures, areas and word problems. Ideal for 5th and 6th grade: the tasks refresh the basics and lead step by step to more demanding topics. With an answer section for self-correction.
An assessment all about parts of a whole: colour in parts on a dot field, write them as a fraction, calculate parts (3 levels: easy, medium, tricky), multiple choice, fraction detective, master tasks and a thinking task. 41 points.
A comprehensive assessment: name the parts of a fraction, read fraction models, place fractions on the number line, colour in and calculate parts, work with counters, plus a thinking task and fraction detective. 41 points.
Eight task blocks on brackets and the order of operations: from simple brackets through nested brackets to combined tasks with multiplication before addition. 64 points, with a separate answer sheet.
Two assessment pages on symmetry worth 30 points in total: explaining reflection symmetry in your own words, finding axes of symmetry, drawing mirror images on a grid, reflecting points using coordinates and one task on reasoning. With a self assessment at the end and two answer pages.
Two assessment pages worth 61 points: rounding to thousands, hundreds and tens, a table with all three place values, placing numbers on the number line and rounding them, estimating results before calculating, rounding country populations to millions and finally a puzzle on logical rounding.
Everything about fractions on a single sheet: numerator and denominator, proper and improper fractions, mixed numbers, unit fractions, fractions on the number line, calculating parts and a worked example. To hang up or file away.
Every kind of symmetry on a single sheet: reflection, point symmetry, rotational symmetry and mirror images, each with an example figure and the terms that go with it. Two boxes at the end for checking and remembering: fold, reflect, rotate or measure distances. To hang up or file away.
