Very in-depth for the age group needed. I like the idea of glossary terms at the back if they don't understand. Would recommend.

If your Year 5 child needs to sharpen their problem-solving and reasoning skills in maths, the Problem Solving & Reasoning Maths Activity Book for Ages 9-10 (Year 5) from CGP offers clear, focused practice across the full range of topics they're learning this year. Covering fractions, decimals, times tables, mental arithmetic, geometry, and statistics, this workbook builds the logical thinking and step-by-step approach your child needs to tackle trickier questions with confidence.

Each activity is designed to move beyond simple recall, encouraging your child to read carefully, choose the right method, and explain their reasoning. The questions mirror the style and depth found in National Curriculum assessments, so pupils gain familiarity with multi-step problems and worded challenges. CGP's clear layout and friendly illustrations keep pages approachable, while progressive difficulty helps build skills without overwhelming.
