Grade 5 Common Core Math: Number and Operations

This pack covers the number and operations work of Common Core Grade 5, with the Grade 4 place value and fraction standards it builds on and an early look at Grade 6 percents and ratios. Each group of standards starts with a one-page poster with a worked example, followed by practice pages and word problems. Students read, regroup, compare and order numbers to 100,000. They build equivalent fractions, change between improper fractions and mixed numbers, and compare fractions to twelfths. They read and round decimal hundredths, and move between fractions, decimals and percents on a hundredths grid. Then come the operations: properties and checking, facts to 12 × 12, mental math with 0.1 and 0.01, estimating with decimals, adding and subtracting to 100,000 and to hundredths, adding fractions with like denominators, two-digit by two-digit multiplication and three-digit by two-digit division (area model and algorithm side by side), multiplying and dividing with unit fractions, and equivalent ratios and rates.

Several problems use real US figures, and each one gives its source on the page: July 2023 and April 2020 population estimates for American cities from the U.S. Census Bureau. The practice pages are generated and checked by computer, so every answer in the key has been worked out twice. Word problems, the check-in and the test have a hand-written key that shows the working and a check for each answer.

The teacher notes give a ten-week order, timing, materials, differentiation, the common mistakes for each standard, and a table that matches every Common Core standard to its pages. They also say plainly which Grade 5 standards the pack leaves out, such as fractions with unlike denominators and decimal multiplication and division. Everything prints in black and white, and nothing depends on color. The free sample is the teacher notes and the decimal hundredths comparison page.
