Focused preparation · Year 5 numeracy

Read the display. Explain the answer.

Learn how to read and compare column graphs, line graphs and two-way tables. Then work through 20 original, untimed questions using four clear data displays.

This path covers only data displays within Year 5 numeracy. It does not cover the full NAPLAN test or predict a result.

A learner saves the data-display goal and needs current learning access to open the lessons and questions.

Read the data before making a claim

Books borrowed from a class library on Friday · Number of books by type

Mystery was borrowed most often: 12 books. To compare Mystery with Science, read both values and subtract: 12 − 6 = 6 books.

How the route works

  1. 1. Check the display. Read the title, labels and scale before using a value.
  2. 2. Work with support. Follow worked examples, guided steps and hints in the linked lessons.
  3. 3. Apply the idea. Answer original questions about a graph or table, then read the worked feedback.
  4. 4. Revisit the gap. Each question links back to its lesson. Your usual lesson progress stays in your account.

The route in the learning tree

The saved plan includes 9 lessons in its full prerequisite route. These two are directly used in the questions. The earlier foundations stay available in the learning platform when a learner needs them.

  2. Target conceptInterprets line graphs and two-way tablesYears 5–6

What this covers

The official Year 5 proficiency descriptions include interpreting and comparing data in tables and graphs. These descriptions report typical skills, not a list of questions for one student.

The numeracy test spans six mathematics strands and uses multiple-choice, text-entry and interactive items. This practice covers one strand and one response format.
