About this class
About Basic 5 mathematics
In Basic 5 (B5), learners following the Standards-Based Curriculum work with numbers to a million, factors, multiples and primes, add and subtract fractions, convert between fractions, decimals and percentages, and measure angles. It is part of upper primary (B4–B6). Boldungu breaks each topic into short sets of interactive questions so children can practise one skill at a time and come back to anything that needs more work.
