Matharoo’s Upper Primary (Years 5 & 6) Maths Worded Problem Sheets are curriculum-aligned and the perfect supplement to current maths lesson plans, providing weekly worded problem sheets to keep primary school-aged learners engaged and interactive when it comes to learning and applying maths and problem-solving skills. They are written freshly each week with scenarios based on last week’s current events, sports and pop culture news stories.

The Upper Primary Level Worded Maths Worksheets are specifically designed for children of the 10-12 age group. They include appropriately challenging questions that are still achievable by an “average student” at an upper-primary level. These questions allow students to enjoy their success at being able to solve maths problems, while still being challenged in a way they can confidently face. The worksheets primarily include meaningful and easy-to-follow mathematical problems created around special interests that children typically develop in the pre-teen years. Previous recent questions have included topics like computer games, Taylor Swift, cars and bikes, Harry Potter, Avengers, animals and wildlife, and a host of other current affairs topics. The worded  questions exercise maths skills sought by various Australian upper-primary maths curriculums, without seeming too complex for students’ comfort – and while being about topics they’re already interested in!

These sheets, freshly-written and emailed out to schools, teachers and parents each week, are restoring positive attitudes to maths and problem-solving skills in primary school classrooms across Australia and New Zealand. Think of it as a weekly positive maths stimulus for students to keep kids engaged and positive about maths!
