About Grade 5 Technology
Grade 5 technology (5th grade, ages 10β11) is 40 lessons in 5 units: Unit 1 β Using Digital Tools Effectively (lessons 1β8), Unit 2 β Understanding & Evaluating AI Tools (lessons 9β16), Unit 3 β Creation & Media (lessons 17β24), Unit 4 β Coding & Logic (lessons 25β32), and finally Unit 5 β Evaluating Technology & Its Impact (lessons 33β40), project work that brings the year together. Along the way, children learn to explain what a prompt is and why clear prompts matter, identify common video-editing actions and what each one does and design a simple mini-game with a clear goal and rules.
Start here: Lesson 1: Digital Citizenship & Safety 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 β about 45 minutes at the table. The next day, a 10-minute screen review of the same lesson.
