Fifth grade is a period of change. They continue developing strategies for multi-digit addition and subtraction problems. into the millions. They continue to learn the patterns multiplication facts and have hopefully memorized their facts to 12.

They continue the study of geometry, negative numbers, calculator skills, telling time, geometry, and most importantly algebra/functions. Practical application of measurement skills includes linear, weight, and capacity with customary and metric units. Students perform probability experiments that provide information for analyzing data and predicting outcomes. Fifth graders will have problem solving homework on a regular basis. Harcourt Brace has a wonderful online glossary to look up words. Click on the bar graph icon below to access it.  Oceanside Unified School district has adopted Everyday Mathematics for their K-5 math program. It provides students with a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts. This is done by using multiple methods and strategies for problem solving, continuous review and practice, concrete modeling as a way to get to abstract understanding. There is much collaborative learning in partner and small group activities. What the students like the most is game time!
