The 5th grade Math course consists of three main ideas that students need to master at this level:
1. Fluency with Whole Numbers and Decimals
2. Operations with Fractions
3.Geometry and Measurement
Topics that students will focus on will be:
Place value, Multiplication and Expressions of Whole Numbers
Division of Whole Numbers
Operations with Decimals
Add and Subtract Fractions
Multiply and Divide Fractions
Patterns and Graphing
Convert Units of Measurements- we connect this with Science
Geometry and Volume
Format of the Class- direct instruction with guided and independent practice, application to real world situations using word problems and hands on activities and STEM Projects
I use Sunshine Math, a problem solving program with various degrees of difficulties to help with word problems, and Math IXL a computer based program that students use to develop and practice fluency , and target problem areas. The program is tailored for each student and can be done at school and at home.
