MathsBites: Real maths help built for real families.

~ Year 5 ~

Confident, accurate maths support starts here

Let’s re-cap: What is MathsBites?

MathsBites is a parent-friendly online resource offering short, easy-to-understand videos that explain every concept in the NSW K–6 maths syllabus. Created by Penny, an experienced educator, MathsBites bridges the gap between classroom teaching and home support, helping adults understand the strategies children use in school.

  • Aligned with the NSW Mathematics K–10 Syllabus (2022)

  • Designed for busy parents, carers, and grandparents

  • Lock in lifetime access, currently at $99/year per child. (This price is guaranteed for future years — but only if you join before January 1, 2026, when prices increase.)

What your child learns in Stage 3, Part A

Stage 3 (Years 5–6) introduces abstract thinking, flexible strategies, and real-world applications.

Part A focuses on:

  • Number & Algebra: Understanding place value to millions, using efficient strategies for all four operations, and solving problems with number patterns and algebraic reasoning.

  • Fractions, Decimals & Percentages: Comparing and converting between fractions, decimals, and percentages; solving problems involving mixed numbers and improper fractions.

  • Measurement: Calculating perimeter, area, and volume; converting between metric units; using formulas for rectangles and prisms.

  • Geometry: Classifying angles and triangles; exploring symmetry, transformations, and properties of 2D shapes and 3D objects.

…and this is just the start.
