Fifth Grade Online Math Curriculum
Math is a very crucial component of a fifth grade education. Whether you homeschool or not, helping your child achieve the necessary fifth grade math objectives allows them to be prepared, confident and knowledgeable as they head into middle school and beyond. Without a solid understanding of the basics, learning more advanced math in the future will prove increasingly difficult.
What Math Should a Fifth Grader Know?
In fifth grade math students predict the relative size of solutions in addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of whole numbers, addition, subtraction, and multiplication of fractions, decimals, and mixed numbers. Additionally, they should have achieved mastery in numeration, rounding, money, and the customary and metric system, just to name a few.
Below are some concepts a fifth grader should know.
- Rounding numbers to the nearest ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand and hundred thousand
- Using partial products and mental multiplication
- Dividing with two-digit divisors
- Ordering and comparing fractions
- Comparing perimeter and area
