Welcome to the 5th Grade Math Summer Site!

We created this page to give you a sneak peek at the upcoming school year and to provide helpful resources to support your child’s preparation.
Scroll down to explore activities and tips designed to get your child ready for success in class.

We’re excited to partner with you this fall—see you soon!

What We Value and What To Expect: 

Maintaining a growth mindset ourselves, we continually refine our approach in order to foster a deep mathematical understanding in our students. Beyond just finding the correct answer, this year, students will engage deeply with mathematical concepts, using and exemplifying those ideas through the Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract (CPA) framework. Throughout this year, students will model and explain concepts with manipulatives, drawings, and mathematical expressions, making connections along the way.

To help achieve these goals, we will use Eureka Math² as our main resource. Eureka Math² is an interactive and highly regarded program designed to build lasting math knowledge. Families, click HERE for more information about Eureka Math².

Preparing for Next Year:

Throughout the year, students will complete six modules (or chapters). To be best prepared, certain prerequisite skills should be understood. See below for practice pertaining to each of next year's modules. Modules will be followed in sequential order. 

Module 1 Prerequisite Skills

• Explain the relationship between a digit in a multi-digit whole number and the same digit in the place to the right.

• Read and write multi-digit whole numbers in unit, standard, word, and expanded form.

• Add and subtract multi-digit whole numbers by using the standard algorithm.

• Multiply whole numbers of up to four digits by one-digit whole numbers, and multiply 2 two-digit whole numbers.

• Solve word problems involving multiplicative comparison by using two-digit by one-digit multiplication or dividing tens and ones by one-digit numbers.

• Divide whole numbers of up to four digits by one-digit whole numbers.

Modules 2 and 3 Prerequisite Skills

• Creating and representing equivalent fractions

• Decomposing fractions into a sum of fractions with the same denominator in more than one way 

• Adding mixed numbers with like denominators 

• Subtracting mixed numbers with like denominators 

• Creating a line plot to display a data set of measurements in fractions of a unit 

• Representing a multiplication situation with a model and converting between several representations 

• Representing a fraction on a number line by partitioning the number line into intervals 

• Representing a division situation with a model and converting between several representations of division 

• Understanding of multiplying a fraction by a whole number 

• Representing and explaining division as an unknown factor 

Modules 4 and 5 Prerequisite Skills

• Modeling 10ths 

• Modeling 100ths  

• Representing 10ths and 100ths in fraction and decimal form 

• Comparing decimals and justifying that answer 

• Using attributes to classify 2-D shapes 

• Finding the area of a rectangle by tiling and relating this to multiplication 

• Calculating area of composite shapes 

• Solving area problems 

Module 6 Prerequisite Skills

• Represent a fraction on a number line by partitioning the number line into intervals of length , starting from .

• Create a pattern that follows a given rule and identify additional features of that pattern.

• Solve one- and two-step how many more and how many less word problems using information presented in a scaled bar graph.
