GRADE 5 MATH
In fifth grade, students focus on adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing whole numbers, fractions, and decimals. Your kid will become fluent with computing these types of numbers and understanding the relationship between them. Students should also be able to use these numbers in real-world scenarios.
Grade 5 math instruction focuses on four critical areas:
(1) developing fluency with addition and subtraction of fractions, and developing understanding of the multiplication of fractions and of division of fractions in limited cases (unit fractions divided by whole numbers and whole numbers divided by unit fractions);
(2) extending division to 2-digit divisors, integrating decimal fractions into the place value system and developing understanding of operations with decimals to hundredths, and developing fluency with whole number and decimal operations; and
(3) developing understanding of measurement systems and determining volumes to solve problems; and
(4) solving problems using the coordinate plane.
