Welcome to Grade 5 Math 2020-2021
As per the new 2020 curriculum documents, each unit this year has students work on social-emotional learning skills in the context of the math environment. Students work on social-emotional skills such as communication, perseverance, managing emotions, as well as thinking creatively and critically.
Students learn that math is a process and while we might struggle at some points to understand and figure out relationships between concepts and numbers, this struggle is natural and helps us grow as learners!
