What Students Learn in Grade 5

Grade 5 math covers 5 domains — building foundational skills for higher-level learning.

Algebra

  • Analyzing Patterns and Relationships (CCSS.MATH.5.OA.B.3)

    Generate two numerical patterns using given rules, and identify the relationship between the corresponding terms in the two patterns.

  • Order of Operations with Parentheses (CCSS.MATH.5.OA.A.1)

    Evaluate expressions using the order of operations, including parentheses, to solve problems.

  • Writing Expressions (CCSS.MATH.5.OA.A.2)

    Write simple expressions that record calculations with numbers and interpret numerical expressions without calculating, e.g., 3 × (17 + 8) without calculating, to represent a problem.

Arithmetic

  • Adding and Subtracting Decimals (CCSS.MATH.5.NBT.B.7)

    Add and subtract decimals to the hundredths place, using concrete models or drawings and strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction.

  • Adding and Subtracting Fractions with Unlike Denominators (CCSS.MATH.5.NF.A.1)

    Add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators by replacing given fractions with equivalent fractions in such a way as to produce an equivalent sum or difference of fractions with like denominators.

  • Dividing Decimals (CCSS.MATH.5.NBT.B.7)

    Divide decimals up to two decimal places, using concrete models or drawings and strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between multiplication and division.

  • Dividing Whole Numbers (CCSS.MATH.5.NBT.B.6)

    Divide whole numbers with up to four-digit dividends and two-digit divisors, using strategies based on place value and the properties of operations.

  • Division of Fractions by Whole Numbers (CCSS.MATH.5.NF.B.7)

    Interpret division of a unit fraction by a non-zero whole number and compute such quotients. Solve real-world problems by dividing a unit fraction by a whole number.

  • Division of Whole Numbers by Unit Fractions (CCSS.MATH.5.NF.B.7)

    Interpret division of a whole number by a unit fraction, and compute such quotients. Solve real-world problems by dividing a whole number by a unit fraction.

  • Fractions as Division (CCSS.MATH.5.NF.B.3)

    Interpret a fraction as division of the numerator by the denominator (a/b = a ÷ b), solving word problems involving division of whole numbers leading to fractional answers.

  • Multiplication of Fractions (CCSS.MATH.5.NF.B.4)

    Solve word problems involving multiplication of a fraction by a whole number and by a fraction, using visual fraction models and equations to represent the problem.

  • Multiplying Decimals (CCSS.MATH.5.NBT.B.7)

    Multiply decimals up to two decimal places, using concrete models or drawings and strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between multiplication and division.

  • Multiplying Whole Numbers (CCSS.MATH.5.NBT.B.5)

    Multiply multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm, understanding the properties of multiplication.

  • Place Value and Decimal Fractions (CCSS.MATH.5.NBT.A.1)

    Understand the relationship between place value and decimal fractions, extending the concept of whole number place value to tenths, hundredths, and thousandths.

  • Reading, Writing, and Comparing Decimals (CCSS.MATH.5.NBT.A.3)

    Read, write, and compare decimals up to the thousandths place, using both standard and expanded forms.

  • Rounding Decimals (CCSS.MATH.5.NBT.A.4)

    Round decimals to any place value, including tenths, hundredths, and thousandths, using the rounding rules.

General

  • Applying Volume Formulas (CCSS.MATH.5.MD.C.5)

    Apply the formulas V = l × w × h and V = B × h for the volume of a right rectangular prism to solve real-world and mathematical problems.

  • Converting Units of Measurement (Customary) (CCSS.MATH.5.MD.A.1)

    Convert among different-sized standard measurement units within a given measurement system (e.g., convert ft to in, qt to gal).

  • Converting Units of Measurement (Metric) (CCSS.MATH.5.MD.A.1)

    Convert among different-sized standard measurement units within a given measurement system (e.g., convert cm to m, mL to L).

  • Interpreting Numerical Expressions (CCSS.MATH.5.OA.A.2)

    Interpret numerical expressions without calculating them, understanding the role of parentheses and the order of operations in defining the value of the expression.

  • Solving Word Problems with Fractions (CCSS.MATH.5.NF.A.2)

    Solve word problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions referring to the same whole, including cases of unlike denominators, e.g., by using visual fraction models or equations to represent the problem.

  • Solving Word Problems with Whole Numbers (CCSS.MATH.5.OA.A.1)

    Solve word problems involving the four arithmetic operations, including problems involving fractions or decimals, and problems with constraints on the order of operations.

  • Understanding Place Value for Powers of 10 (CCSS.MATH.5.NBT.A.2)

    Explain patterns in the number of zeros of the product when multiplying a whole number by powers of 10, and explain patterns in the placement of the decimal point when a whole number is multiplied or divided by a power of 10.

Geometry

  • Calculating Volume of Rectangular Prisms (CCSS.MATH.5.MD.C.5)

    Find the volume of a right rectangular prism with whole-number side lengths by packing it with unit cubes, and show that this is the same as would be found by multiplying the edge lengths, equivalently using the formula V = l × w × h.

  • Classifying Two-Dimensional Figures (CCSS.MATH.5.G.B.3)

    Classify quadrilaterals based on their properties, understanding the hierarchy of quadrilaterals (e.g., squares are rhombuses, rectangles, and quadrilaterals).

  • Graphing on a Coordinate Plane (CCSS.MATH.5.G.A.1)

    Use a coordinate system to represent mathematical and real-world problems, drawing polygons in the first quadrant given the coordinates of the vertices.

  • Understanding the Coordinate Plane (CCSS.MATH.5.G.A.2)

    Understand a coordinate system where the x-axis and y-axis and the origin are defined. Plot points in the first quadrant based on given ordered pairs.

  • Volume of Rectangular Prisms (CCSS.MATH.5.MD.C.3)

    Understand that volume can be measured by counting unit cubes. Measure volumes by counting unit cubes, using cubic cm, cubic in, cubic ft, and cubic in.

  • Volume with Fractional Edge Lengths (CCSS.MATH.5.MD.C.5)

    Find the volume of a right rectangular prism with fractional edge lengths by packing it with unit cubes of the appropriate unit fraction, and show that this is the same as would be found by multiplying the edge lengths.

Statistics

  • Interpreting Data on a Line Plot (CCSS.MATH.5.MD.B.2)

    Make a line plot to display a data set of measurements in fractions of a unit (e.g. halves, fourths, eighths). Use the line plot to solve problems involving fractions.
