Mathematics In Grade 5, students learn computational and problem solving skills they encounter in their everyday lives. Basic skills are practiced, mastered, and applied to solve related realistic problems. Manipulative, drill, cooperative learning, class discussions and writing are the methods used to enable students to succeed in Grade 5 math.

Reads and writes decimals through thousandths in standard and word from 4. Compares and orders whole numbers an decimals up to 4 numbers 5. Rounds decimals to the greatest place or greatest whole number 6. Explores addition, subtraction multiplication, and division of decimals using manipulatives 7. Estimates sums and difference of whole numbers and decimals by rounding 8. Adds and subtracts decimals to thousandths 9. Uses mental math to multiply decimals by 10, 100 and 1,000 with factors to thousandths 10. Estimates the product of a whole number and a decimal 11.
