Parents Guide
NAPLAN Year 5 Numeracy is the first standardised test that follows Australian students into high-school streaming. Here's how to prep in six weeks without burning your child out. 1. **Week 1** — Diagnostic — take a full ACARA sample test to identify the weakest strand. 2. **Week 2** — Number & Algebra — daily 15-minute drills on fractions, decimals and simple patterns. 3. **Week 3** — Measurement & Geometry — perimeter, area, volume and angle basics with hands-on practice. 4. **Week 4** — Statistics & Probability — reading tables, column graphs and simple chance questions. 5. **Week 5** — Problem-solving — mixed word problems with a 45-second-per-question pace. 6. **Week 6** — Full timed mock, review errors, and revisit the weakest strand for two focused sessions.
