Our Review

This Year 5 mathematics resource transforms homework into engaging family activities, offering ten distinct games that cover essential primary school math objectives from the refreshed curriculum framework. Each game features clear, easy-to-read instructions and helpful reference guides that allow parents to confidently guide their children through mathematical concepts without needing teaching expertise. The approach moves beyond traditional practice sheets by creating interactive learning experiences that make abstract mathematical ideas more accessible through hands-on play.

What distinguishes this resource is its thoughtful design for collaborative learning between children and their parents, turning math practice into quality bonding time rather than a solitary chore. The games effectively bridge classroom learning with home reinforcement while reducing the anxiety often associated with math homework. Families seeking to support their Year 5 children's mathematical development will find these activities build both skills and confidence through enjoyable, low-pressure interaction.
