ESSENTIAL STANDARDS
5TH GRADE MUST-HAVES
NUMBERS & OPERATIONS IN BASE 10
TARGET 1
Read, write, and compare decimals to thousandths (5. NBT.3)
WORKING WITH DECIMALS
TARGET 2
Fluently multiply multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm (5.NBT.5)
MULTI-DIGIT MULTIPLICATION
FRACTIONS
TARGET 3
Add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators (including mixed numbers) by replacing given fractions with equivalent fractions in such a way as to produce an equivalent sum or difference of fractions with like denominators. (5.NF.1)
ADD & SUBTRACT FRACTIONS
TARGET 4
Solve word problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions referring to the same whole, including cases with unlike denominators, e.g., by using visual fraction models or equations to represent the problems. Use benchmark fractions and number sense of fractions to estimate mentally and assess the reasonableness of answers. (5.NF.2)
FRACTION WORD PROBLEMS
TARGET 5
Interpret a fraction as division of the numerator by the denominator ab =ab . Solve word problems involving division of whole numbers leading to answers in the form of fractions or mixed numbers, e.g., by using visual fraction models or equations to represent the problem. (5.NF.3)
SEEING FRACTIONS AS DIVISION PROBLEMS
TARGET 6
Solve real-world problems involving multiplication of fractions and mixed numbers, e.g., by using visual fraction models or equations to represent the problem. (5.NF.6)
MULTIPLYING FRACTIONS
