Gravity Lab: Calculating Distance in Space
In this lab, students start by measuring how far they can jump on Earth, and then calculate how far they could jump on the different planets and Earth's moon, based on the amount of gravity present on each body. This was a great way to demonstrate the effects of gravity, while also reinforcing the 6th grade math concept of division of decimals. All steps of the scientific method are included, along with a full rubric to assess students' learning.

Importance of learning math in 5th grade
Since math forms the basis for many other subjects — like science, engineering, and technology — it's essential that kids develop strong math skills starting in elementary school, as it makes them more likely to succeed in the more challenging middle and high school courses.
Benefits of learning math in 5th grade
Learning math in 5th grade has many benefits. It helps students:
- Develop problem-solving, logical reasoning, and critical-thinking skills
- Prepare for more complex mathematical concepts in higher grades
- Understand how math is used in real-life situations
By ensuring that 5th graders have a solid understanding of math concepts, teachers can help set them up for future success
Key topics covered in 5th grade math
In 5th grade, students are introduced to more challenging mathematical concepts. They'll likely continue to build on their understanding of fractions and decimals, and explore new concepts like numerical expressions.
Decimals
Fifth graders will continue to build on their knowledge of decimals by learning how to read, write, and compare decimals to thousandths.
Operations with Fractions
Fifth grade math involves extending their understanding of how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide fractions with unlike numerators and denominators. Fifth graders will start learning how to simplify fractions, convert fractions to mixed numbers, and find common denominators.
Measurement
In 5th grade, measurement concepts become more complex, and involve learning about volume and capacity.
Algebraic Thinking
In 5th grade math, teachers will introduce the concept of algebraic thinking. This includes working on numerical expressions. They learn to solve simple one-step equations and use algebraic thinking to solve real-world problems.
Data
Fifth graders will learn about the coordinate system, along with how to create and interpret graphs and charts.
How to find math resources for 5th grade
Educators can save time preparing lessons by using math worksheets, activities, and other types of resources created by experienced Sellers on TPT. Simply search the TPT marketplace for "5th grade math," and filter by grade level, price, and/or resource type to find print and digital materials that've been proven to work in classrooms around the country.

What are 5th graders learning in math right now?
Fifth graders will learn decimal and fractional expressions and explore numerical expressions, volumes and diagrams.
How much math practice should my student do each day?
The amount of practice varies depending on your student's needs, but generally, 20-30 minutes of practice per day is recommended.
What if my student doesn't enjoy math?
Sprinkle a little fun into your math lessons by using games, videos, puzzles, and real-life scenarios. If a child in your class seems to find math boring or uninteresting, you can also try connecting it to their interests or hobbies.
