On June 11, 2025, FLPS students in Grades 5-7 will take the Math Skills Readiness Assessment, which covers major standards they learned during this school year. Performance on this assessment will support decisions regarding their math placement for the 2025-2026 School Year.
Below you will find grade-level resources that focus on the major content standards to help your child prepare thoroughly for the Math Skills Readiness Assessment in June.
By consistently practicing the key skills, lessons, and videos that are part of the math curriculum, families help set the stage for their child’s academic success. Practice is a vital part of the learning process—it’s the bridge between understanding and mastery!

✅ Strengthens Understanding
Repetition Leads to Mastery: The more your child practices, the more they internalize the concepts. Math is cumulative, and each lesson builds on the one before it. If your child practices regularly, they are more likely to retain and apply what they’ve learned.
Improves Problem-Solving Skills: Practice encourages critical thinking. By solving different types of problems, students develop strategies that they can use in more complex situations later on.
When children are given the opportunity to practice skills regularly, they become more confident in their ability to tackle problems. Confidence is crucial for students as it reduces anxiety, encourages perseverance, and helps them tackle new challenges with a positive attitude.
Consistent practice allows students to identify and address any gaps in their learning. If your child is struggling with a particular topic, regular practice can highlight areas that need extra attention and help them catch up before the next concept is introduced.
As students move through their education, math concepts get more complex. A strong grasp of 5th-grade math concepts like fractions, division, and basic geometry is essential for success in middle school and beyond. Practice now ensures a smoother transition to more advanced topics later on.
Set a Routine: Establish a regular practice time each day or week to review lessons, complete exercises, and watch instructional videos.
Practice Recommendation: 10 minutes/day until you reach ≥ 85% mastery on all skills
Engage in Conversations About Math: Ask your child about what they learned. Encourage them to explain concepts to you as if they were the teacher. This reinforces their understanding.
Use Online Resources and Videos: The videos recommended can be a fun and interactive way to engage with the content.
Praise Effort, Not Just Results: Encourage effort, perseverance, and a growth mindset. Celebrate small successes and improvement over time.
