Although catalogued for Year 5, the visible directions identify the task as a return to Year 4 skills. Learners repeatedly find a partner, exchange papers, solve one item, discuss any difference, and initial after agreeing. Across two rounds, the prompts draw from earlier operations, number reasoning, measurement, and word-problem work. Two completed reference pages support later correction, while the active routine can help a teacher observe which prerequisite skills need renewed instruction.

About this resource

Year 5 - Find Someone Who | Back to School Maths Review This back to school maths review activity gets Year 5 students engaged with their new classmates while reviewing key skills from the previous year. Students are given a worksheet with 16 mixed maths questions spanning skills like measurement, fractions, geometry, multiplication, and more. They must find a classmate who can solve each problem correctly, then have them initial the worksheet to confirm. With two versions included, students can swap sheets halfway through for even more variety. This collaborative game format makes assessment feel more like fun than a test, while enabling teachers to informally gauge which concepts need review as the year kicks off. Use it as a whole class icebreaker, station rotation, or even homework assignment for summer review. The answer key allows students to self-check their work, building accountability.
