What your child will be learning in fifth-grade mathematics
In grade five, students will build their understanding of the place value system by working with decimals up to the hundredths place. Students will also add, subtract, and multiply fractions, including fractions with unlike denominators. They will continue to expand their geometry and measurement skills, learning the concept of volume and measuring the volume of a solid figure. See the unit information below to learn more about how math will unfold across the year.

Partnering with your child's teacher
Partnering with your child's teacher
Getting to know your child's teacher is important and communication with them throughout the year will support your child's individual growth while learning mathematics. Don’t be afraid to reach out to them—you are an important part of your child’s education. Ask to see a sample of your child’s work or bring a sample with you. Ask the teacher questions like:
Is my child at the level where he/she should be at this point of the school year?
Where is my child excelling?
What do you think is giving my child the most trouble? How can I help my child improve in this area?
