- 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.
