5th Grade Math Standards

Focus on Standards Mindset & Culture Thinking Classroom

Big Ideas
Review and Revisit major standards, Dig deep Relationships, Play & Discourse Productive struggle for all

Grade 5 Critical Focus Areas

1. developing fluency with addition and subtraction of fractions, and developing understanding of
the multiplication of fractions and of division of fractions in limited cases (unit fraction by
whole numbers and whole numbers by unit fractions)
2. extending division to 2-digit divisors, integrating decimal fractions into the place value system
and developing understanding of operations with decimals to hundredths, and developing
fluency with whole number and decimal operations based on the meaning of base-ten numerals
3. developing understanding of volume and coordinate systems

Fifth Grade Math Standards

***Supporting and additional standards are back, they are color coded purple. Spend 80% of your time on green major clusters and the other 20% on the
purple. The following is a recommendation of sequence, feel free to place the “purple” standards throughout the year as you see fit. Additional and supporting
standards are meant to be taught as a support to the major standards, so play around with them throughout the year.
