What’s in the Class 5 Maths NCERT Book (2026-27 Edition)
Parts and Wholes and Tenths and Hundredths introduce fractions and decimals properly; Be My Multiple, I’ll Be Your Factor and Can You See the Pattern build number-relationship thinking; Area and its Boundary and Boxes and Sketches introduce measurement and 3D shape concepts ahead of Class 6’s formal geometry.
Study Tip
Tenths and Hundredths is this book’s introduction to decimals — get comfortable converting between fractions and decimals here, since Class 6 assumes this without re-teaching it.
