Three critical areas of instruction in Fifth Grade are:

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 two-digit divisors, integrating decimal fractions into the place-value system, developing understanding of operations with decimals to hundredths, and developing fluency with whole-number and decimal operations

3. Developing understanding of volume

Fifth Grade students also fluently multiply multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm.
