Mathematics

The fifth grade mathematics program emphasizes the importance of using problem solving strategies to solve problems involving whole numbers, decimals, and fractions. Students will be given practice in order to refine skills with multiplication, division, fractions, and geometry. Customary and metric measurement will be used to make comparisons and perform operations on measurements within a system. Students will not be making conversions between systems.
