Fifth Grade
Welcome to the interactive learning page for fifth grade students! On this page, you will find website resources for reading, writing, math, science, social studies, English Learners, and the arts. Kids can spend time learning with these sites to build fluency in all areas!
Math
In 5th grade, your child will be developing fluency in addition and subtraction of fractions, exploring multiplication and division situations with fractions, developing an understanding of the relationship between fractions and decimals and applying that understanding to operations with decimals, and exploring the concept of volume. The online resources below offer an opportunity for your child to build on and reinforce ideas presented in the classroom.
Fifth graders should spend 30-40 minutes a day practicing math.
