About Year 5 Resources
Year 5 teaching resources support Australian teachers as students enter the upper primary years and engage with increasingly complex and abstract curriculum content. Year 5 students are expected to read sophisticated texts with purpose and understanding, write persuasively and analytically, apply multi-digit operations with fluency, work with fractions, decimals, and percentages, and engage critically with Australian and world history, geography, and civics. High-quality resources help teachers plan the rigorous, engaging lessons that upper primary students deserve.
TeachBuySell's Year 5 collection includes resources across all curriculum areas, with a strong emphasis on higher-order thinking, extended writing, mathematical problem solving, and inquiry-based learning in science and HASS. Browse comprehension resources for challenging informational and literary texts, persuasive and analytical writing units, fractions and decimals resources, geometry and statistics activities, science investigation units, and HASS resources exploring Australian and world history.
Year 5 is also the year when many students begin to develop strong personal interests and preferences, making it a great time to offer student choice and voice in their learning. Many resources in our collection include open-ended tasks, student-led inquiry options, and creative projects that honour students' growing independence and intellectual maturity. Whether you are navigating the expanded complexity of the Year 5 curriculum or looking for ways to challenge and extend your most capable students, our collection has resources to support an ambitious and engaging Year 5 program.
