Mathematics 5

Mathematics 5 focuses on developing students’ mathematics skills and problem-solving strategies. Problems and activities are designed to get students reasoning abstractly and quantitatively, constructing arguments, and modeling with mathematics. In this course, students add, subtract, and multiply fractions, divide fractions by whole numbers, and divide whole numbers by fractions. They perform multiple operations with decimals in addition to comparing, ordering, and rounding them. They use exponents to denote powers of 10. Students are introduced to volume and how to calculate it, and they learn to classify two-dimensional shapes into categories. They also graph data on a plot line and the coordinate plane, using graphs to solve real-world and mathematical problems. This course includes a printed Parent and Teacher Guide that will help you support your student’s learning.
