Our students use the updated Everyday Math 4 a program to meet the Common Core State Standards for 5th Grade. Throughout the year, students will learn how to think critically and apply math skills in everyday situations.
Common Core State Standards for Grade 5
Operations and Algebraic Thinking
Write and interpret numerical expressions.
Analyze patterns and relationships.
Number and Operations in Base Ten
Understand the place value system.
Perform operations with multi-digit whole numbers and with decimals to hundredths.
Number and Operations—Fractions
Use equivalent fractions as a strategy to add and subtract fractions.
Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division to multiply and divide fractions.
Measurement and Data
Convert like measurement units within a given measurement system.
Represent and interpret data.
Geometric measurement: understand concepts of volume and relate volume to multiplication and to addition.
Geometry
Graph points on the coordinate plane to solve real-world and mathematical problems.
Classify two-dimensional figures into categories based on their properties.
Mathematical Practices
Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
Model with mathematics.
Use appropriate tools strategically.
Attend to precision.
Look for and make use of structure.
Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.
Check out the Everyday Math Parents Homeroom for in-depth information on the program, as well as the extensive research and development that was used to create the program.
Students can visit the Everyday Math Students Homeroom for math games, a museum of student work, and additional practice. Students can also access Math Games online with their personal log-in and password.
Homework assignments for Everyday Math are called "Study Links." Students are usually assigned one Study Link each night, which should be completed by the following day. Homework plays a critical role in the reinforcement of skills and ideas learned in class. If your child is having trouble with their homework, please encourage them to do their best and to use their Student Reference Book.

- Forget your Home Links at school? On this website you can print out most on your homework pages.
It is also extremely important that all fifth grade students have mastered all their math facts through the 12 times tables. If students need to practice their facts, they should use the triangle cards that we cut out in the beginning of the year. They're great because they reinforce fact families. Remind your children that they only need to practice the facts that they have difficulty instantly recalling. There are also many interactive games on the internet that they can use to reinforce their facts.
