Math
Mr. Jennings, Ms. Plaza, Ms. Erdman, and Ms. Mahmood teach the 5th grade math curriculum.
The 5th grade math curriculum follows the Common Core Math standards for the 5th Grade. Different than previous years, the Everyday Math is not our curriculum and instead is viewed as one resource that we can use to teach the Common Core Math Standards.
By the end of 5th grade, your child should be proficient in the following standards. This is also the Profile of Progress that will be attached to your child's math report card grade, which can be accessed on the Home Access Website.
RUBRIC
Beginning (B): Your child cannot yet complete the task independently and shows little understanding of the concept or skill.
Developing (D): Your child shows some understanding of concepts and skills. However, errors or misunderstandings still occur. Reminders, hints, or suggestions are needed to complete the task.
Secure (S): Your child demonstrates firm understanding of the concept/skills and can apply these concepts/skills accurately and independently.
All concepts and skills listed above are considered most essential to master at this grade level. Concepts and skills are taught throughout the school year and are expected to be mastered, or secured, by the end of the school year.
*Shaded boxes indicate the concept/skill has not yet been introduced into the grade level curriculum. A blank box (with no letter designation) indicates the concept/skill was not formally evaluated in the quarter. Please see further comment regarding this in the “teacher comment’ section of the report card.
