In 5th Grade, students will practice and refine their multiplication and division strategies,Β attaining fluency in multiplication with whole numbers by the end of the year. Number and Operations in Base Ten is covered this year as students generalize their understanding of the base-ten system to include decimals.Β Fractions are also an integral concept our 5th graders.Β The 5th grade standards include developing conceptual understanding of volume as an attribute of solid figures. This is a new concept for 5th grade and provides an engaging context that supports problem solving throughout the remainder of the year.
Big ideas in fifth grade:
(1) developing fluency with addition and subtraction of fractions, and developing understanding of the multiplication of fractions and of 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 decimal fractions into the place value system and developing understanding of operations with decimals to hundredths, and developing fluency with whole number and decimal operations
(3) developing understanding of volume.

You will find that content in our curriculum maps have been given a priority designation; however, lower priority is not meant to imply exclusion. These priorities are meant to help guide the focus of teachers as they allocate their limited time for planning and instruction. Teachers should always use their best judgment for what works for them and their students.
π© Major content identifies those areas where students should spend the large majority (65-85%) of instructional time and focus on the major work of the grade.
π· Supporting content is designed to strengthen the areas of major emphasis, as these pieces are closely connected to the major clusters of the grade.
π‘ Additional content covers material that does not connect tightly or explicitly to the major work of the grade, but still engages students in grade-level conceptual learning.
Growth Mindset Lessons, Activities and Videos to use as you lay the groundwork for a Mathematical Mindset connected to The 8 Standards for Mathematical Practice. Β Good Group Work-setting norms
