GRADE 5: EXPLANATION OF STANDARDS
MATHEMATICS – The student will…
Number Sense
•
recognize and describe decimals and fractions as parts of a whole unit
•
read, write, identify, and compare decimals through thousandths
•
identify, model, compare, and order rational numbers (decimals, fractions, and mixed numbers)
•
recognize and describe the relationship between common fractions and their equivalent decimal form
Computation and Estimation
•
use understanding of relationships of whole number operations and decimal operations to create and solve
addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division problems
•
interpret the meaning of a remainder in the context of a division problem
•
estimate and find the product of two decimals through thousandths
•
find the quotient of dividends expressed as thousandths and a single-digit divisor
•
add and subtract fractions and mixed numbers (e.g., 3/4+ 2 1/8) and express answers in simplest form
Measurement
•
describe and determine the perimeter of a polygon and the area of a square, rectangle, and right triangle
•
identify and describe the relationship between the diameter, radius, chord, and circumference of a circle
•
explain the difference between perimeter, area, and volume (while identifying the appropriate measure)
•
estimate and measure weight and mass in customary/metric units
•
identify equivalent measurements between customary and metric (length, mass, weight, volume)
Geometry
•
use knowledge of relationships among angles to classify angles and triangles as right, acute, or obtuse
•
analyze properties of 2-D figures and 3-D geometric solids
•
identify and describe congruent, non-congruent, and similar figures
•
investigate and accurately describe the results of combining and subdividing shapes
•
recognize/describe the images of figures resulting from transformations (translation, reflection, rotation)
Statistics and Probability
•
predict/test probability of outcomes of simple experiments and represent measurements from 0 to 1
•
solve problems by constructing a sample space using a tree diagram, list or chart to represent outcomes
•
collect, organize, and display data in a variety of forms (e.g. bar graph, stem & leaf plots, line plots)
•
analyze, make predictions, and draw conclusions using data (find mean, median, mode, and range)
Patterns, Functions & Algebra
•
analyze the structure of numerical and geometric patterns and express relationships using words, tables,
graphs or a numerical sentence
•
investigate and describe the concept of a variable
•
use a variable expression to represent a given quantitative expression involving one operation
•
write an open sentence (b + 4=12) to represent a given mathematical relationship with a variable
•
create a problem situation based on a given open sentence with a single variable
