Curriculum Overview:
We will cover the following domains in Math this year:
Operations & Algebraic Thinking
>Write and interpret
numerical expressions
>Analyze patterns and relationships
Numbers and Operations in Base 10
>Understand the
place value system
>Perform operations with multi-digit whole numbers and with decimals
to hundredths
Numbers and Operations- Fractions
>Use equivalent fractions as a strategy to add and subtract fractions
> Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division to multiply and divide fractions
Measurement
>Convert
like measurement units within a given measurement system
>Represent
and interpret data
>Geometric
measurement-Understand concepts of volume and relate volume to multiplication
and to addition
Geometry
>Graph points on the coordinate plane to solve real world
mathematical problems
>Classify two-dimensional figures into categories based on their properties
"In Grade 5, instructional time should focus on three critical areas: (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; and
(3) developing understanding of volume."
