About 5th Grade Math Curriculum

The fifth grade Scott Foresman-Addison Wesley Math enVision2.0 Program focuses on helping students make sense of mathematics in meaningful ways.  Number sense is the driving force of the program.  Number sense includes estimation, mental math, and much more. Students who develop strong number sense become more proficient with computation and more powerful as problem solvers. Problem-solving strategies are analyzed in specific lessons, as well as thoroughly developed and practiced throughout.  Students become proficient problem solvers as they learn to apply their reading skills and the eight math practices.

Math Practices

1.Make sense of problems & persevere in solving them

2.Reason abstractly and quantitatively

3.Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others

4.Model with mathematics

5.Use appropriate tools strategically.

6.Attend to precision

7.Look for and make use of structure

8.Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.
