🔢 Grade 5 Math: how to help at home

What each unit covers

1. 🔢Numbers to a Million

   Place value to 1 000 000: digit values, standard and expanded form, number words, rounding, ordering, and using benchmarks like 500 000 on a number line.

2. ➕Add & Subtract

   Adding and subtracting numbers up to 1 000 000 with regrouping (including across zeros), estimating by rounding, and mental math such as compensation (adding 4999 as 5000 − 1).

3. 🧠Mental Math Tricks

   Recalling multiplication and division facts to 9 × 9, and mental strategies such as adding zeros, halving and doubling, and breaking a number into friendly parts.

4. ✖️Multiply

   Multiplying 2- and 3-digit numbers using area models and partial products, patterns with 10, 100 and 1000, doubling and halving, and estimating products by rounding.

5. ➗Divide

   Dividing 2- and 3-digit numbers, finding remainders and deciding what they mean in a story (round up for buses, drop the extra for full bags), and estimating with friendly numbers.

6. 🍕Equivalent Fractions

   Making and recognizing equivalent fractions (2/3 = 8/12), simplifying, comparing and ordering fractions, and judging whether a fraction is close to 0, 1/2 or 1.

7. 🧮Decimals

   Reading, writing, comparing and rounding decimals to thousandths, linking decimals to fractions out of 10, 100 and 1000, and adding and subtracting decimals in real situations.

8. 🧩Patterns & Equations

   Describing growing and shrinking patterns with rules and expressions like 3n + 1, using input–output tables, and solving one-step equations such as n + 37 = 92 or 6 × n = 54.

9. 📐Area & Perimeter

   Finding the area and perimeter of squares and rectangles, working backwards to a missing side, and discovering that shapes with the same area can have different perimeters (and vice versa).

10. 📏Millimetres, Volume and Capacity

    Choosing units for length (mm), volume (cm³, m³) and capacity (mL, L), using everyday referents, and linking millilitres to litres.

11. 🔷Parallel Lines and Quadrilaterals

    Finding parallel and perpendicular edges and sides, and sorting quadrilaterals (rectangles, squares, trapezoids, parallelograms and rhombuses) by their sides and angles.

12. 🔺Prisms, Pyramids & Moves

    Naming and classifying prisms and pyramids by their bases, counting faces, edges and vertices, and describing single transformations: translations (slides), reflections (flips) and rotations (turns).

13. 📊Graphs & Chance

    Reading double bar graphs where each square stands for several items (many-to-one), comparing two sets of data, and describing the probability of single outcomes with spinners, marbles, dice and coins.
