Grade 5

Quarter 2

Welcome to the Grade 5 Family Focus Page Quarter 2

Below are listed the I Can statements for each unit in Quarter 2. These help guide teachers in our planning as we prepare lessons knowing what students need to be doing by the end of the unit. This gives you an idea of things that you can work on at home or talk about.

We have a GREAT resource coming that will be linked at the bottom of each list of I Can statements. This will be coming soon.

Unit 4:

What students are expected to do:

  • I can show that in a multi-digit number each place value is 10 times less than the one to its left and 10 times greater than the one to its right.

  • I can compare the value of digits based on their placement in a given number.

  • I can express powers of ten using exponential notation.

  • I can explain the pattern of the zeros when multiplying whole numbers and decimal numbers by powers of 10.

  • I can explain the standard algorithm for multiplication of multi-digit numbers.

  • I can multiply a multi-digit number by a 2 digit number using the standard algorithm.

  • I can add, subtract, and multiply decimals to hundredths using concrete models, drawings, and place value methods.

  • I can describe place value patterns when multiplying decimals (ex: when I multiply tenths by tenths, the product is in the hundredths)

  • I can estimate an answer, and explain the placement of the decimal point, when adding, subtracting, and multiplying with decimals.

  • I can connect models such as area models to an algorithm, including finding partial products.

  • I can divide whole numbers with up to 2-digit divisors using place value strategies, including rectangle models and partial quotients.

  • I can use rounding and estimation to divide by any two-digit number.

  • I can explain my computation when solving problems that include various division situations.

  • I can solve problems involving division of whole numbers that lead to answers in the form of fractions.

  • I can solve a variety of division problems and determine what to do with the remainder.

  • I can convert from one unit of measure to another in the metric system.

  • I can solve problems that require me to convert metric measurement units.

  • I can explain the standard algorithm for multiplication of multi-digit numbers.

  • I can use the standard algorithm for multiplication.

  • I can divide whole numbers with up to 2-digit divisors using place value strategies, including rectangle models and partial quotients.

  • I can explain my computation.
