For specifics about 5th grade math, be sure to check the, "About 5th Grade Math" page on this website.
The 5th Grade Math Curriculum consists of 6 learning modules, or Units. Module 1: Place Value and Decimal Fractions Module 2: Multi-Digit Whole Number and Decimal Fraction Operations Module 3: Addition and Subtraction with Fractions Module 4: Multiplication and Division of Fractions and Decimal Fractions Module 5: Addition and Multiplication with Volume and Area Module 6: Problem-Solving and the Coordinate Plane The goal for all students is to reach mastery of each of the skills in these 6 Modules. Each day in class students will complete assignments that allow them to master a daily learning objective. Students will complete math problems that build from conceptual understanding, to procedural skill and fluency, and on to application. Near the end of each lesson, students will complete an "Exit Ticket" (a short assessment to determine how well they have mastered the material they worked on during the day). For homework, students will have a homework packet with additional math problems that are very similar to the ones they have already completed during math class. There will be Mid-Module and End-of-Module Assessments (Tests) for each of these learning units. Students will track their progress in their personal data binder. During each learning unit, students will keep their daily problem sets in their math folder, which they can use for review and study. Students will keep records of their performance in their data binders. Students who do not attain mastery of learning skills will receive re-teaching, and additional opportunities to demonstrate mastery of the content. Once again, the ultimate goal is to reach mastery of the 5th grade skills. There will be five short math projects throughout the year. These projects align with the learning goals, and allow students to demonstrate how their learning is integrated into the surrounding world.
