About Grade 5 Math
Grade 5 math (5th grade, ages 10–11) is 40 lessons in 5 units: Unit 1 — Number & Operations (lessons 1–8), Unit 2 — Fractions & Decimals (lessons 9–16), Unit 3 — Measurement & Data (lessons 17–24), Unit 4 — Geometry & Patterns (lessons 25–32), and finally Unit 5 — Projects & Applications (lessons 33–40), project work that brings the year together. Along the way, children learn to identify a mixed number and an improper fraction by their parts, compute the mean of a small data set by summing values and dividing by the count and identify lines of symmetry in two-dimensional shapes.
Start here: Lesson 1: Place Value to Millions is free to open and print. Every other lesson has a free preview of its mini lesson and vocabulary.
Paper first: each lesson is printed before you call your child. You read it once and talk it through, your child does the exercises on paper, and you correct together with the Parent checklist — about 45 minutes at the table. The next day, a 10-minute screen review of the same lesson.
