Week	Strand	Sub-Strand	Specific Learning Outcomes	Key Inquiry Questions	Suggested Learning Experiences	Learning Resources	Assessment Methods
1	Numbers	Place value	Read, write and operate on numbers up to 1 000 000.	How does place value help us compute with large numbers?	Use number cards and algorithms for operations.	Textbook, realia and locally available materials; digital content where accessible.	Teacher observation, oral questions, checklists, peer and self-assessment, projects.
2	Numbers	operations on whole numbers	Read, write and operate on numbers up to 1 000 000.	How does place value help us compute with large numbers?	Use number cards and algorithms for operations.	Textbook, realia and locally available materials; digital content where accessible.	Teacher observation, oral questions, checklists, peer and self-assessment, projects.
3	Geometry	Plane and solid shapes	Identify and construct plane and solid shapes.	Where do we see shapes in the environment?	Make models using cards and measuring instruments.	Textbook, realia and locally available materials; digital content where accessible.	Teacher observation, oral questions, checklists, peer and self-assessment, projects.

Questions about this scheme of work

Does this page cover all the terms?

It carries Term 1 of 2027 — every term published for Grade 5 Mathematics so far. Each term has its own week-by-week table and free preview, and a new term joins this same page when it goes live.

How do I download a whole term as a PDF?

The first 5 weeks of each term are free to read on this page. Open the term you need, pay KES 30 by M-Pesa, then use Print / Save PDF — the sheet is laid out for A4 landscape.

Can I adapt it for my own school calendar?

Every scheme is generated from the curriculum taxonomy, so you can rebuild it with your own week count, strands and pacing on the Generate screen and keep the result as your own document.
