Grade 5

Grade Level Expectations

In Grade 5, instructional time should focus on three areas:

(1) developing fluency with addition and subtraction of fractions, and developing an understanding of the multiplication of fractions and of the division of fractions in limited cases (unit fractions divided by whole numbers and whole numbers divided by unit fractions);

(2) extending division to 2-digit divisors, integrating decimals into the place value system and developing an understanding of operations with decimals to hundredths, and developing fluency with whole number and decimal operations; and

(3) developing an understanding of volume.

Please note that while every standard/topic in the grade level has not been included in this overview, all standards should be included in the instruction.

Below are the module overviews that include: standards, what the students should know and be able to do, assessments, and weekly planners.
