What is 5th Grade Math?

Fifth grade (called Grade 5 in some regions) is a year of education in many nations, and some other regions call it Year 5. In the United States, the fifth grade is the fifth and last school year of elementary school in most schools. in other schools, it may be the first year of middle school. Students are usually 10–11 years old unless the child has been held back or skipped a grade. In England and Wales, the equivalent is Year 6. In Ireland, the equivalent is 5th class. In the US, a 5th grader is considered a senior if they are going to another school. In Scotland a 10-11 year old is usually in primary, not year 6.

In the United States, 41 states have implemented Common Core standards for 5th grade curriculum in English Language Arts/Mathematics.

Key Mathematics Common Core standards for 5th grade students include writing and interpreting numerical expressions in operations and algebraic thinking; adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing fractions; converting like measurement units; understanding volume as an attribute of three-dimensional space; graphing points in the first quadrant of the coordinate plane; and classifying two-dimensional figures into categories based on their properties.

Developed by a teacher from one of the top private schools in the country, the goal from the beginning was to create a world-class 5th Grade Math curriculum “in a bottle.” As a result, our program is ideal for homeschool students and is a natural fit for any parent who would like to offer their child the equivalent of a $20,000-a-year private school 5th Grade Math education for a tiny fraction of the cost.

The program is packed with everything that you need in a stand-alone 5th Grade Math course. In addition to the one on one instruction, the course features a comprehensive grade report that automatically records student scores; background lessons to build the student’s foundation in math; diagnostic quizzes before each lesson; cumulative review; and printable extra problems, notes, and chapter tests / keys.
