5th grade

Click the link on the Unit below to find detailed information about each unit, including tips on how to help your child at home.

In grade 5 math, your child will:

use models and strategies to divide 2- and 3-digit numbers by 2-digit numbers, with and without remainders. (Students are not expected to use the standard long division algorithm until sixth grade.)
add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators
multiply fractions and divide fractions in simple cases
measure volume
explain patterns in the number of zeros and the placement of the decimal point in the answer when multiplying or dividing by powers of 10
read, write, round, compare, add & subtract, multiply & divide decimals
multiply multi-digit whole numbers
locate and graph points on a coordinate plane

Just as in K-4, teachers in 5th grade will use the Bridges Unit pre-assessments to guide differentiation and ensure students are properly challenged.
