Note to Teachers
This learning material serves as a workbook specifically designed for grade 5 students. It is
intended to be a helpful resource, assisting young learners in navigating their academic
journey with confidence. The questions in this workbook are focused on essential concepts
and learning outcomes that have been assessed in previous NAS (National Achievement
Survey) examinations. These questions have been thoughtfully crafted to align with the
curriculum and learning objectives, encouraging students to apply their knowledge, solve
problems, and enhance critical thinking skills.
It is important to note that the questions in this learning material are purely for practice
purposes and do not imply that identical questions will appear in the actual NAS
examinations. The NAS does not disclose its previous question papers, and this material has
been developed based on the assessment framework followed by NAS.
Before presenting this Learning Material to students, teachers should be aware that its
benefits will be maximized if students possess a solid understanding of the concepts covered
and are familiar with the topics related to these concepts. The learning material aims to
complement their existing knowledge and reinforce their learning experience.
