In Fifth Grade, students are expected to have a higher level of “operational fluency” with much higher math knowledge.
Your Fifth Grader should be able to:
- Write and evaluate numerical expressions with parentheses
- Identify mistakes involving the order of operations
- Complete a table for a two-variable relationship and graph it
- Understand place value
- Multiply and divide by a power of ten with decimals
- Read, write, and compare decimals to thousandths
- Use place value understanding to round decimals to any place
- Fluently multiply multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm
- Divide 4-digit numbers by 2-digit numbers
- Add, subtract, multiply, and divide decimals to hundredths
- Add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators (including mixed numbers)
- Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division to multiply and divide fractions
- Solve word problems involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division of whole numbers leading to answers in the form of fractions or mixed numbers
- Interpret multiplication as scaling (resizing)
- Convert like measurement units within a given measurement system
- Make a line plot to display a data set of measurements in fractions of a unit (1/2, 1/4, 1/8)
- Understand concepts of volume and relate volume to multiplication and to addition
- Measure volumes by counting unit cubes, using cubic centimeters, cubic inches, cubic feet, and improvised units
- Relate volume to the operations of multiplication and addition and solve real-world and mathematical problems involving volume
- Graph points on the coordinate plane to solve real-world and mathematical problems
- Classify two-dimensional figures based on their properties
