Grade 5 Math

Course Description

In this course, students will deepen their understanding of mathematical concepts through hands-on activities and real-world applications. Emphasizing problem-solving and critical thinking, the course covers:

  • Place Value: Students explore the concept of place value and how it relates to magnitudes of ten, which is important for understanding decimals and fractions. 
  • Operations with Whole Numbers, Decimals, and Fractions: Students will perform addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division with whole numbers, decimals, and fractions, applying these skills to solve real-world problems.
  • Geometry: Learners will classify two-dimensional figures based on their properties and calculate the volume of right rectangular prisms.
  • Measurement and Data: The course includes solving problems involving conversions within a given measurement system and interpreting data using appropriate scales
  • Numerical Expressions and Patterns: Students will write, evaluate, and compare numerical expressions, and analyze patterns and relationships using two rules.

Course Big Ideas

  • Understanding place value relationships is a foundational skill in identifying numbers and performing estimation and computation with whole numbers.
  • Patterns and rules help us make sense of complex problems.
  • The ability to perform operations with whole numbers, fractions, and decimals is necessary for everyday activities such as cooking, baking, measuring, and financial literacy.
  • Unit conversions are used in life to help you change measurements so things make sense when you cook, build, travel, or shop.
  • Coordinate planes can be used in the real world to find and describe exact locations, for example, reading maps, planning buildings, designing video games, or graphing data in math and science.
  • Knowing the difference between quadrilaterals can help you recognize and use the right shapes when building, designing, solving problems, or understanding how things fit together in real life.
     

Course Essential Questions

  • How can we use math to solve real-world problems and make sense of the world around us?
  • How can understanding numbers and their relationships help us make informed decisions?
  • How do patterns and rules help us predict what comes next in math?
     

Course Competencies

  • Accurately perform addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division with whole numbers, decimals, and fractions, and apply these skills to solve real-world problems.
  • Identify, classify, and measure two- and three-dimensional shapes, and use their properties to solve problems.
  • Use visual models to represent mathematical situations.
  • Reflect on learning and develop a persevering mindset.
