5th Grade Math
In previous grades, students learned various strategies for multiplication and division and demonstrated fluency in addition and subtraction. They developed understanding of structure of the place value system, and applied understanding of operations with whole numbers to begin developing computational strategies with fractions, paying special attention to unit fractions as the building blocks of all fractions. Students gained understanding that geometric figures can be analyzed and classified based on their properties.
The Grade 5 year, as sequenced here, begins with developing conceptual understanding of volume as an attribute of solid figures. This is a new concept for Grade 5 and provides an engaging context that supports problem solving throughout the year. Students practice and refine their multiplication and division strategies, attaining fluency in multiplication with whole numbers by the end of the year. The domain of Number and Operations in Base Ten is finalized this year as students generalize their understanding of the base-‐ten system to include decimals.
This document reflects the Dana Institute’s current thinking related to the intent of the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSSM) and assumes 160 days for instruction, divided among 15 units. The number of days suggested for each unit assumes 45-‐minute class periods and is included to convey how instructional time should be balanced across the year. The units are sequenced in a way that we believe best develops and connects the mathematical content described in the CCSSM; however, the order of the standards included in any unit does not imply a sequence of content within that unit. Some standards may be revisited several times during the course; others may be only partially addressed in different units, depending on the focus of the unit. Strikethroughs in the text of the standards are used in some cases in an attempt to convey that focus, and comments are included throughout the document to clarify and provide additional background for each unit.
Throughout Grade 5, students should continue to develop proficiency with the Common Core's eight Standards for Mathematical Practice:
1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. S. Use appropriate tools strategically. 2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively. 6. Attend to precision. 3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. 7. Look for and make use of structure. 4. Model with mathematics. 8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.
These practices should become the natural way in which students come to understand and do mathematics. While, depending on the content to be understood or on the problem to be solved, any practice might be brought to bear, some practices may prove more useful than others. Opportunities for highlighting certain practices are indicated in different units in this document, but this highlighting should not be interpreted to mean that other practices should be neglected in those units.
When using this document to help in planning your district's instructional program, you will also need to refer to the CCSSM document, relevant progressions documents for the CCSSM, and the appropriate assessment consortium framework.
Unit 1: Understanding volume Suggested number of days: 8
Learning Targets Notes/Comments Unit Materials and Resources
Unit Overview:
Students expand their understanding of geometric measurement and spatial structuring to include volume as an attribute of three-‐dimensional space. In this unit, students develop this understanding using concrete models to discover strategies for finding volume, whereas in unit 9 students generalize this understanding in real-‐world problems and apply strategies and formulas. Volume is addressed in two units (unit 1 and unit 9) because it is a major emphasis in Grade 5. The connection to multiplication and addition provides an opportunity for students to start the year off by applying the multiplication and addition strategies they learned in previous grades in a new, interesting context. Common Core State Standards for Mathematical Content
Measurement and Data – 5.MD C. Geometric measurement: understand concepts of volume and relate volume to multiplication and to addition. 3. Recognize volume as an attribute of solid figures and understand concepts of volume measurement.
a. A cube with side length 1 unit, called a "unit cube," is said to have "one cubic unit" of volume, and can be used to measure volume.
b. A solid figure which can be packed without gaps or overlaps using n unit cubes is said to have a volume of n cubic units.
4. Measure volumes by counting unit cubes, using cubic cm, cubic in, cubic ft, and improvised units.
Common Core State Standards for Mathematical Practice
3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. 7. Look for and make use of structure.
5.MD.3a.1 Understand that unit cubes are used
to measure volume of solid figures.
5.MD.3b.1 Understand that unit cubes cannot have gaps or overlap.

Vocabulary Essential Questions
• Measurement • Unit • Unit Cubes • Volume
• What tools and units are used to measure the attributes of an object? • How are the units of measure within a standard system related? • How do you decide which unit of measurement to use? • How can I measure length, mass and capacity by using non-‐standard units? • How do I choose the appropriate tool and unit when measuring?
• How do I estimate and measure?
Formative Assessment Strategies
• Anecdotal Note Cards -‐ The teacher can create a file folder with 5" x 7" note cards for each student for helpful tips and hints to guide students to remembering a process or procedure.
• Labels or Sticky Notes -‐Teachers can carry a clipboard with a sheet of labels or a pad of sticky notes and make observations as they circulate throughout the classroom. After the class, the labels or sticky notes can be placed in the observation notebook in the appropriate student's section and use the data collected to adjust instruction to meet student needs.
• Questioning -‐ Asking questions that give students opportunity for deeper thinking and provide teachers with insight into the degree and depth of student understanding. Questions should go beyond the typical factual questions requiring recall of facts or numbers.
• Discussion -‐ Teacher presents students with an open-‐ended question that build knowledge and develop critical and creative thinking skills. The teacher can assess student understanding by listening to responses and taking anecdotal notes.
Unit 2: Developing multiplication and division strategies Suggested number of days: 12
Learning Targets Notes/Comments Unit Materials and Resources
Unit Overview: In this unit students build on their work from previous grade levels to refine their strategies for multiplication and division in order to reach fluency in multiplication by the end of the year. Students continue to develop more sophisticated strategies for division to become flexible and efficient with the standard algorithm in Grade 6. Students begin to find quotients with two-‐digit divisors early in the year to build strategies for accurate computations. Common Core State Standards for Mathematical Content
Number and Operations in Base Ten - 5.NBT B. Perform operations with multi-‐digit whole numbers and with decimals to hundredths. 5. Fluently multiply multi-‐digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm.
6. Find whole-‐number quotients of whole numbers with up to four-‐digit dividends and two-‐digit divisors, using strategies based on place value, the properties of operations, and/or the relationship between multiplication and division. Illustrate and explain the calculation by using equations, rectangular arrays, and/or area models.
Common Core State Standards for Mathematical Practice
1. Make sense of problem and persevere in solving them. 8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.
5.NBT.5.1 Fluently multiply multi-‐digit whole
numbers.

• The Mind Map -‐ requires that students use drawings, photos or pictures from a magazine to represent a specific concept. • Think/Pair/Share for Math Problem Solving -‐ Place problem on the board. Ask students to think about the steps they would use to solve the problem, but do not let them figure out
the actual answer. Without telling the answer to the problem, have students discuss their strategies for solving the problem. Then let them work out the problem individually and then compare answers.
• Math Center Fun-‐ Practicing how to read large numbers, learning how to round numbers to various places, reviewing place value, solving word problems (as described above), recalling basic geometric terms, discussing the steps of division, discussing how to rename a fraction to lowest terms.
Unit 3: Using equivalency to add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators Suggested number of days: 12
Learning Targets Notes/Comments Unit Materials and Resources
Unit Overview:
In this unit students use what they've learned in Grades 3 and 4 about equivalency in terms of visual models and benchmarks to extend understanding of adding and subtracting fractions, including mixed numbers. They reason about size of fractions to make sense of their answers-‐e.g. they understand that the sum of 1/2 and 2/3 will be greater than 1.
It is important to note that in some cases it may not be necessary to find least common denominator to add fractions with unlike denominators (any common denominator may apply). Students should be encouraged to use their conceptual understanding of fractions rather than just using the algorithm for adding fractions. In addition, there is no mathematical reason for students to write fractions in simplest form.
Common Core State Standards for Mathematical Content
Number and Operations-‐Fractions - 5.NF A. Use equivalent fractions as a strategy to add and subtract fractions. 1. Add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators (including mixed numbers) by replacing given fractions with equivalent fractions in such a way as to produce an equivalent sum or difference of fractions with like denominators. For example, 2/3 + 5/4 = 8/12 + 15/12 = 23/12. (In general, a/b + c/d = (ad + bc)/bd.)
5.NF.1.1 Rewrite fractions as equivalent fractions. 5.NF.1.2 Write my answer in simplest form. 5.NF.1.3 Add or subtract two fractions with unlike
denominators (2, 4, 5, or 10). 5.NF.1.4 Add or subtract two mixed numbers with
unlike denominators (2, 4, 5, or 10). 5.NF.1.5 Add and subtract two fractions with unlike
denominators (any denominator). 5.NF.1.6 Add and subtract two mixed numbers with
unlike denominators (any denominator). 5.NF.1.7 Add and subtract any number of fractions
with unlike denominators (any denominator).
5.NF.1.8 Add and subtract any number of mixed numbers with unlike denominators (any denominator).
5.NF.1.9 Add and subtract fractions within the same expression
In this unit, 5.NF.A.1 involves students using the same method from Grade 4 to generate equivalent fractions (4.NF.A.1). In unit 7 students will extend this understanding of equivalency to understand that multiplying by a fraction equivalent to 1 (e.g. 4/4) will result in an equivalent fraction
(5.NF.B.5b).4

2. Solve word problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions referring to the same whole, including cases of unlike denominators, e.g., by using visual fraction models or equations to represent the problem. Use benchmark fractions and number sense of fractions to estimate mentally and assess the reasonableness of answers. For example, recognize an incorrect result 2/5 + 1/2 = 3/7, by observing that 3/7 < 1/2.
Common Core State Standards for Mathematical Practice
2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively. 4. Model with mathematics.
5.NF.2.1 Use benchmark numbers (0, ¼, ½, ¾, 1) to estimate sums and differences of fractions.
5.NF.2.2 Relate estimation to my answers to see if they make sense.
5.NF.2.3 5.NF.2.4 5.NF.2.5
Create a visual fraction model to represent the fractions in a word problem. Create an equation to represent a word problem. Create a word problem involving addition and subtraction of fractions.
Students use visual models and equations to solve problems involving the addition and subtraction of fractions, moving flexibly between the abstract and concrete representations (MP.2, MP.4).

• How can you use a visual model to represent equivalent fractions? • How can you add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators? • In adding or subtracting fractions, when is it necessary to find a common
denominator? Give an example to support your answer. • How can you find a common denominator using equivalent fractions? • How can benchmark fractions be used to estimate an answer? Give an example to
support your thinking. • Given the following model/picture/visual representation (fractions of the same
whole with different denominator), what is a situation that could be represented by this model? Write and evaluate an expression to represent your situation.
Formative Assessment Strategies
• Summaries and Reflections -‐ Students stop and reflect, make sense of what they have heard or read, derive personal meaning from their learning experiences, and/or increase their metacognitive skills. These require that students use content-‐specific language.
• Lists, Charts, and Graphic Organizers -‐ Students will organize information, make connections, and note relationships through the use of various graphic organizers. • Visual Representations of Information -‐ Students will use both words and pictures to make connections and increase memory, facilitating retrieval of information later on. This “dual
coding” helps teachers address classroom diversity, preferences in learning style, and different ways of “knowing.” • Collaborative Activities -‐ Students have the opportunity to move and/or communicate with others as they develop and demonstrate their understanding of concepts. • Do’s and Don’ts -‐ List 3 Dos and 3 Don’ts when using/applying/relating to the content (e.g., 3 Dos and Don’ts for solving an equation). Example of Student Response: When adding
fractions, DO find a common denominator, DO add the numerators once you’ve found a common denominators, DON’T simply add the denominators • Three Most Common Misunderstandings -‐ List what you think might be the three most common misunderstandings of a given topic based on an audience of your peers. Example of
Student Response: In analyzing tone, most people probably confuse mood and tone, forget to look beyond the diction to the subtext as well, and to strongly consider the intended audience.
• Yes/No Chart -‐ List what you do and don’t understand about a given topic—what you do on the left, what you don’t on the right; overly-‐vague responses don’t count. Specificity matters!
Unit 4: Expanding understanding of place value to decimals Suggested number of days: 10
Learning Targets Notes/Comments Unit Materials and Resources
Unit Overview: In this unit students expand their previous understanding of place value to include decimal numbers. Grade 5 is the last grade in which the NBT domain appears in CCSSM. Later work in the base-‐ten system relies on the meanings and properties of operations. This also contributes to deepening students' understanding of computation and algorithms in the new domains that start in Grade 6. Common Core State Standards for Mathematical Content
Number and Operations in Base Ten – 5.NBT A. Understand the place value system. 1. Recognize that in a multi-‐digit number, a digit in one place represents 10 times as much as it represents in the place to its right and 1/10 of what it represents in the place to its left.
2. Explain patterns in the number of zeros of the product when multiplying a number by powers of 10, and explain patterns in the placement of the decimal point when a decimal is multiplied or divided by a power of 10. Use whole-‐number exponents to denote powers of 10.
5.NBT.1.1 Represent place values of whole
numbers through 100,000,000 and decimals to the thousandths with manipulatives or visual models.
5.NBT.1.2 Recognize that in a multi-‐digit number, the digit to the left is 10x larger and the right is 1/10 smaller.
5.NBT.2.1 Show repeated multiplication of tens as an exponent.
5.NBT.2.2 Use manipulatives to explain patterns in the number of zeros of the product when multiplying a number by powers of 10.
5.NBT.2.3 Explain patterns in the number of zeros of the product when multiplying a number by powers of 10.
5.NBT.2.4 Use manipulatives to explain patterns in the placement of the decimal point when a decimal is multiplied or divided by a power of 10.
5.NBT.2.5 Explain patterns in the placement of the decimal point when a decimal is multiplied or divided by a power of 10.
Powers of 10 is a fundamental aspect of the base-‐ten system, thus 5.NBT.A.2 can help students extend their understanding of place value to incorporate decimals to hundredths.6

3. Read, write, and compare decimals to thousandths. a. Read and write decimals to
thousandths using base-‐ten numerals, number names, and expanded form, e.g., 347.392 = 3 x 100 + 4 x 10 + 7 x 1 + 3 x (1/10) + 9 x (1/100) + 2 x (1/1000).
Common Core State Standards for Mathematical Practice
6. Attend to precision. 7. Look for and make use of structure.
5.NBT.3a.1 Read and write decimals to the tenths place using numerals, number names, and expanded form.
5.NBT.3a.2 Read and write decimals to the hundredth place using numerals, number names, and expanded form.
5.NBT.3a.3 Read and write decimals to any place using numerals, number names, and expanded form.
5.NBT.3a.1 Read and write decimals to the tenths place using numerals, number names, and expanded form.
[5.NBT.A.3a] Students will be reading and writing decimals in this unit. Comparing decimals (5.NBT.A.3b ) will be addressed in unit 6.
Students use their understanding of structure of whole numbers to generalize this understanding to decimals (MP.7) and explain the relationship between the numerals (MP.6).

Formative Assessment Strategies
• Numbered Heads Together -‐ Students sit in groups and each group member is given a number. The teacher poses a problem and all four students discuss. The teacher calls a number and that student is responsible for sharing for the group.
• Gallery Walk -‐ After teams have generated ideas on a topic using a piece of chart paper, they appoint a person to stay with their work. Teams rotate around examining other team’s ideas and ask questions of the person left at the paper. Teams then meet together to discuss and add to their information so the person there also can learn from other teams.
• Graffiti – Groups receive a large piece of paper and felt pens of different colors. Students generate ideas in the form of graffiti. Groups can move to other papers and discuss/add to the ideas.
• One Question and One Comment -‐Students are assigned a chapter or passage to read and create one question and one comment generated from the reading. In class, students will meet in either small or whole class groups for discussion. Each student shares at least one comment or question. As the discussion moves student by student around the room, the next person can answer a previous question posed by another student, respond to a comment, or share their own comments and questions. As the activity builds around the room, the conversation becomes in-‐depth with opportunity for all students to learn new perspectives on the text.

Formative Assessment Strategies
• Whip Around -‐ The teacher poses a question or a task. Students then individually respond on a scrap piece of paper listing at least 3 thoughts/responses/statements. When they have done so, students stand up. The teacher then randomly calls on a student to share one of his or her ideas from the paper. Students check off any items that are said by another student and sit down when all of their ideas have been shared with the group, whether or not they were the one to share them. The teacher continues to call on students until they are all seated. As the teacher listens to the ideas or information shared by the students, he or she can determine if there is a general level of understanding or if there are gaps in students’ thinking.”
• Word Sort -‐ Given a set of vocabulary terms, students sort in to given categories or create their own categories for sorting • Triangular Prism (Red/Green/Yellow)Students give feedback to teacher by displaying the color that corresponds to their level of understanding • Take and Pass -‐ Cooperative group activity used to share or collect information from each member of the group; students write a response, then pass to the right, add their
response to next paper, continue until they get their paper back, then group debriefs. • Student Data Notebooks -‐ A tool for students to track their learning: Where am I going? Where am I now? How will I get there? • Slap It -‐ Students are divided into two teams to identify correct answers to questions given by the teacher.

Interpret a fraction as division of the numerator by the denominator (a/b = a ÷ b). Solve word problems involving division of whole numbers leading to answers in the form of fractions or mixed numbers, e.g., by using visual fraction models or equations to represent the problem. For example, interpret 3/4 as the result of dividing 3 by 4, noting that 3/4 multiplied by 4 equals 3, and that when 3 wholes are shared equally among 4 people each person has a share of size 3/4. If 9 people want to share a 50-‐pound sack of rice equally by weight, how many pounds of rice should each person get? Between what two whole numbers does your answer lie?

sentence, then write one major question they want answered, then identify a thread or theme to connect this material to the course's major goal. • I have the Question, Who has the Answer? -‐The teacher makes two sets of cards. One set contains questions related to the unit of study. The second set contains the answers to
the questions. Distribute the answer cards to the students and either you or a student will read the question cards to the class. All students check their answer cards to see if they have the correct answer. A variation is to make cards into a chain activity: The student chosen to begin the chain will read the given card aloud and then wait for the next participant to read the only card that would correctly follow the progression. Play continues until all of the cards are read and the initial student is ready to read his card for the second time.

FIFTH GRADE CRITICAL AREAS OF FOCUS CRITICAL AREA OF FOCUS #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 fractions divided by whole numbers and whole numbers divided by unit fractions) Students apply their understanding of fractions and fraction models to represent the addition and subtraction of fractions with unlike denominators as equivalent calculations with like denominators. They develop fluency in calculating sums and differences of fractions, and make reasonable estimates of them. Students also use the meaning of fractions, of multiplication and division, and the relationship between multiplication and division to understand and explain why the procedures for multiplying and dividing fractions make sense. (Note: this is limited to the case of dividing unit fractions by whole numbers and whole numbers by unit fractions.)
Number and Operations - Fractions 5.NF Use equivalent fractions as a strategy to add and subtract fractions.
1. Add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators (including mixed numbers) by replacing given fractions with equivalent fractions in such a way as to produce an equivalent sum or difference of fractions with like denominators. For example, 2/3 + 5/4 = 8/12 + 15/12 = 23/12. (In general, a/b + c/d = (ad + bc)/bd.)
2. Solve word problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions referring to the same whole, including cases of unlike denominators, e.g., by using visual fraction models or equations to represent the problem. Use benchmark fractions and number sense of fractions to estimate mentally and assess the reasonableness of answers. For example, recognize an incorrect result
2/5 + 1/2 = 3/7, by observing that 3/7 < 1/2. Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division to multiply and divide fractions.
3. Interpret a fraction as division of the numerator by the denominator (a/b = a ÷ b). Solve word problems involving division of whole numbers leading to answers in the form of fractions or mixed numbers, e.g., by using visual fraction models or equations to represent the problem. For example, interpret 3/4 as the result of dividing 3 by 4, noting that 3/4 multiplied by 4 equals 3, and that when 3 wholes are shared equally among 4 people each person has a share of size 3/4. If 9 people want to share a 50-pound sack of rice equally by weight, how many pounds of rice should each person get? Between what two whole numbers does your answer lie?
4. Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication to multiply a fraction or whole number by a fraction. a. Interpret the product (a/b) × q as a parts of a partition of q into b equal parts; equivalently, as the
result of a sequence of operations a × q ÷ b. For example, use a visual fraction model to show (2/3) × 4 = 8/3, and create a story context for this equation. Do the same with (2/3) × (4/5) = 8/15. (In general, (a/b) × (c/d) = ac/bd.)
b. Find the area of a rectangle with fractional side lengths by tiling it with unit squares of the appropriate unit fraction side lengths, and show that the area is the same as would be found by multiplying the side lengths. Multiply fractional side lengths to find areas of rectangles, and represent fraction products as rectangular areas.
5. Interpret multiplication as scaling (resizing), by: a. Comparing the size of a product to the size of one factor on the basis of the size of the other
factor, without performing the indicated multiplication. b. Explaining why multiplying a given number by a fraction greater than 1 results in a product
greater than the given number (recognizing multiplication by whole numbers greater than 1 as a familiar case); explaining why multiplying a given number by a fraction less than 1

FIFTH GRADE CRITICAL AREAS OF FOCUS CRITICAL AREA OF FOCUS #1, CONTINUED
results in a product smaller than the given number; and relating the principle of fraction equivalence a/b = (n×a)/(n×b) to the effect of multiplying a/b by 1.
6. Solve real world problems involving multiplication of fractions and mixed numbers, e.g., by using visual fraction models or equations to represent the problem.
7. Apply and extend previous understandings of division to divide unit fractions by whole numbers and whole numbers by unit fractions. a. Interpret division of a unit fraction by a non-zero whole number, and compute such quotients.
For example, create a story context for (1/3) ÷ 4, and use a visual fraction model to show the quotient. Use the relationship between multiplication and division to explain that (1/3) ÷ 4 = 1/12 because (1/12) × 4 = 1/3.
b. Interpret division of a whole number by a unit fraction, and compute such quotients. For example, create a story context for 4 ÷ (1/5), and use a visual fraction model to show the quotient. Use the relationship between multiplication and division to explain that 4 ÷ (1/5) = 20 because 20 × (1/5) = 4.
c. Solve real world problems involving division of unit fractions by non-zero whole numbers and division of whole numbers by unit fractions, e.g., by using visual fraction models and equations to represent the problem. For example, how much chocolate will each person get if 3 people share 1/2 lb of chocolate equally? How many 1/3-cup servings are in 2 cups of raisins?
Measurement and Data 5.MD Represent and interpret data.
2. Make a line plot to display a data set of measurements in fractions of a unit (1/2, 1/4, 1/8). Use operations on fractions for this grade to solve problems involving information presented in line plots. For example, given different measurements of liquid in identical beakers, find the amount of liquid each beaker would contain if the total amount in all the beakers were redistributed equally.

FIFTH GRADE CRITICAL AREAS OF FOCUS CRITICAL AREA OF FOCUS #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 Students develop understanding of why division procedures work based on the meaning of base-ten numerals and properties of operations. They finalize fluency with multi-digit addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. They apply their understandings of models for decimals, decimal notation, and properties of operations to add and subtract decimals to hundredths. They develop fluency in these computations, and make reasonable estimates of their results. Students use the relationship between decimals and fractions, as well as the relationship between finite decimals and whole numbers (i.e., a finite decimal multiplied by an appropriate power of 10 is a whole number), to understand and explain why the procedures for multiplying and dividing finite decimals make sense. They compute products and quotients of decimals to hundredths efficiently and accurately.
Operations and Algebraic Thinking 5.O Write and interpret numerical expressions.
1. Use parentheses, brackets, or braces in numerical expressions, and evaluate expressions with these symbols.
2. Write simple expressions that record calculations with numbers, and interpret numerical expressions without evaluating them. For example, express the calculation “add 8 and 7, then multiply by 2” as 2 × (8 + 7). Recognize that 3 × (18932 + 921) is three times as large as 18932 + 921, without having to calculate the indicated sum or product.
Number and Operations in Base Ten 5.NBT Understand the place v alue system.
1. Recognize that in a multi-digit number, a digit in one place represents 10 times as much as it represents in the place to its right and 1/10 of what it represents in the place to its left.
2. Explain patterns in the number of zeros of the product when multiplying a number by powers of 10, and explain patterns in the placement of the decimal point when a decimal is multiplied or divided by a power of 10. Use whole-number exponents to denote powers of 10.
3. Read, write, and compare decimals to thousandths. a. Read and write decimals to thousandths using base-ten numerals, number names, and
expanded form, e.g., 347.392 = 3 × 100 + 4 × 10 + 7 × 1 + 3 × (1/10) + 9 × (1/100) + 2 × (1/1000).
b. Compare two decimals to thousandths based on meanings of the digits in each place, using >, =, and < symbols to record the results of comparisons.
4. Use place value understanding to round decimals to any place. Perform operations with multi-digit whole numbers and with decimals to hundredths.
5. Fluently multiply multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm. 6. Find whole-number quotients of whole numbers with up to four-digit dividends and two-digit
divisors, using strategies based on place value, the properties of operations, and/or the relationship between multiplication and division. Illustrate and explain the calculation by using equations, rectangular arrays, and/or area models.
7. Add, subtract, multiply, and divide decimals to hundredths, using concrete models or drawings and strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction; relate the strategy to a written method and explain the reasoning used.

FIFTH GRADE CRITICAL AREAS OF FOCUS
CRITICAL AREA OF FOCUS #3 Developing understanding of volume Students recognize volume as an attribute of three-dimensional space. They understand that volume can be measured by finding the total number of same-size units of volume required to fill the space without gaps or overlaps. They understand that a 1-unit by 1-unit by 1-unit cube is the standard unit for measuring volume. They select appropriate units, strategies, and tools for solving problems that involve estimating and measuring volume. They decompose three-dimensional shapes and find volumes of right rectangular prisms by viewing them as decomposed into layers of arrays of cubes. They measure necessary attributes of shapes in order to determine volumes to solve real world and mathematical problems.
Measurement and Data 5.MD Geometric measurement: understand concepts of volume and relate volume to multiplication and to addition.
3. Recognize volume as an attribute of solid figures and understand concepts of volume measurement. a. A cube with side length 1 unit, called a “unit cube,” is said to have “one cubic unit” of volume,
and can be used to measure volume. b. A solid figure which can be packed without gaps or overlaps using n unit cubes is said to
have a volume of n cubic units. 4. Measure volumes by counting unit cubes, using cubic cm, cubic in, cubic ft, and improvised units. 5. Relate volume to the operations of multiplication and addition and solve real world and
mathematical problems involving volume. a. Find the volume of a right rectangular prism with whole-number side lengths by packing it
with unit cubes, and show that the volume is the same as would be found by multiplying the edge lengths, equivalently by multiplying the height by the area of the base. Represent threefold whole-number products as volumes, e.g., to represent the associative property of multiplication.
b. Apply the formulas V = l × w × h and V = b × h for rectangular prisms to find volumes of right rectangular prisms with whole-number edge lengths in the context of solving real world and mathematical problems.
c. Recognize volume as additive. Find volumes of solid figures composed of two non- overlapping right rectangular prisms by adding the volumes of the non-overlapping parts, applying this technique to solve real world problems.
Number and Operations—Fractions 5.NF Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division to multiply and divide fractions.
4. Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication to multiply a fraction or whole number by a fraction. a. Interpret the product (a/b) × q as a parts of a partition of q into b equal parts; equivalently, as
the result of a sequence of operations a × q ÷ b. For example, use a visual fraction model to show (2/3) × 4 = 8/3, and create a story context for this equation. Do the same with (2/3) × (4/5) = 8/15. (In general, (a/b) × (c/d) = ac/bd.)
b. Find the area of a rectangle with fractional side lengths by tiling it with unit squares of the appropriate unit fraction side lengths, and show that the area is the same as would be found by multiplying the side lengths. Multiply fractional side lengths to find areas of rectangles, and represent fraction products as rectangular areas.
5. Interpret multiplication as scaling (resizing), by: a. Comparing the size of a product to the size of one factor on the basis of the size of the other
factor, without performing the indicated multiplication.

3. Understand that attributes belonging to a category of two dimensional figures also belong to all subcategories of that category. For example, all rectangles have four right angles and squares are rectangles, so all squares have four right angles.
4. Classify two-dimensional figures in a hierarchy based on properties.

FIFTH GRADE CRITICAL AREAS OF FOCUS STANDARDS AND CLUSTERS BEYOND THE CRITICAL AREAS OF FOCUS Modeling numerical relationships with the coordinate plane Based on previous work with measurement and number lines, students develop understanding of the coordinate plane as a tool to model numerical relationships. These initial understandings provide the foundation for work with negative numbers, and ratios and proportional relationships in Grade Six and functional relationships in further grades.
Operations and Algebraic Thinking 5.OA Analyze patterns and relationships.
3. Generate two numerical patterns using two given rules. Identify apparent relationships between corresponding terms. Form ordered pairs consisting of corresponding terms from the two patterns, and graph the ordered pairs on a coordinate plane. For example, given the rule “Add 3” and the starting number 0, and given the rule “Add 6” and the starting number 0, generate terms in the resulting sequences, and observe that the terms in one sequence are twice the corresponding terms in the other sequence. Explain informally why this is so.
Geometry 5.G Graph points on the coordinate plane to solv e real-world and mathematical problems.
1. Use a pair of perpendicular number lines, called axes, to define a coordinate system, with the intersection of the lines (the origin) arranged to coincide with the 0 on each line and a given point in the plane located by using an ordered pair of numbers, called its coordinates. Understand that the first number indicates how far to travel from the origin in the direction of one axis, and the second number indicates how far to travel in the direction of the second axis, with the convention that the names of the two axes and the coordinates correspond (e.g., x-axis and x-coordinate, y- axis and y-coordinate).
2. Represent real world and mathematical problems by graphing points in the first quadrant of the coordinate plane, and interpret coordinate values of points in the context of the situation.

Numbers and Operations–Fractions (NF)
5.NF.1. Add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators (including mixed numbers) by replacing given fractions with equivalent fractions in such a way as to produce an equivalent sum or difference of fractions with like denominators.

Use a pair of perpendicular number lines, called axes, to define a coordinate system, with the intersection of the lines (the origin) arranged to coincide with the 0 on each line and a given point in the plane located by using an ordered pair of numbers, called its coordinates. Understand that the first number indicates how far to travel from the origin in the direction of one axis, and the second number indicates how far to travel in the direction of the second axis, with the convention that the names of the two axes and the coordinates correspond (e.g., x-axis and x-coordinate, y-axis and y-coordinate).

5.G.4.4 Use appropriate tools to determine similarities and differences between categories and subcategories.
Common Core “Shifts” in Mathematics There are six shifts in Mathematics that the Common Core requires of us if we are to be truly
aligned with it in terms of curricular materials and classroom instruction. Shift 1 - Focus Teachers use the power of the eraser and significantly narrow and deepen the scope of how time and energy is spent in the math classroom. They do so in order to focus deeply on only the concepts that are prioritized in the standards so that students reach strong foundational knowledge and deep conceptual understanding and are able to transfer mathematical skills and understanding across concepts and grades. Shift 2 - Coherence Principals and teachers carefully connect the learning within and across grades so that, for example, fractions or multiplication spiral across grade levels and students can build new understanding onto foundations built in previous years. Teachers can begin to count on deep conceptual understanding of core content and build on it. Each standard is not a new event, but an extension of previous learning. Shift 3 - Fluency Students are expected to have speed and accuracy with simple calculations; teachers structure class time and/or homework time for students to memorize, through repetition, core functions (found in the attached list of fluencies) such as multiplication tables so that they are more able to understand and manipulate more complex concepts. Shift 4 - Deep Understanding Teachers teach more than “how to get the answer” and instead support students’ ability to access concepts from a number of perspectives so that students are able to see math as more than a set of mnemonics or discrete procedures. Students demonstrate deep conceptual understanding of core math concepts by applying them to new situations, as well as writing and speaking about their understanding. Shift 5 – Application Students are expected to use math and choose the appropriate concept for application even when they are not prompted to do so. Teachers provide opportunities at all grade levels for students to apply math concepts in “real world” situations. Teachers in content areas outside of math, particularly science, ensure that students are using math – at all grade levels – to make meaning of and access content. Shift 6 - Dual Intensity Students are practicing and understanding. There is more than a balance between these two things in the classroom – both are occurring with intensity. Teachers create opportunities for students to participate in “drills” and make use of those skills through extended application of math concepts. The amount of time and energy spent practicing and understanding learning environments is driven by the specific mathematical concept and therefore, varies throughout the given school year.
Standards for Mathematical Practice

The Standards for Mathematical Practice describe varieties of expertise that mathematics educators at all levels should seek to develop in their students. These practices rest on important “processes and proficiencies” with longstanding importance in mathematics education. The first of these are the NCTM process standards of problem solving, reasoning and proof, communication, representation, and connections. The second are the strands of mathematical proficiency specified in the National Research Council’s report Adding It Up: adaptive reasoning, strategic competence, conceptual understanding (comprehension of mathematical concepts, operations and relations), procedural fluency (skill in carrying out procedures flexibly, accurately, efficiently and appropriately), and productive disposition (habitual inclination to see mathematics as sensible, useful, and worthwhile, coupled with a belief in diligence and one’s own efficacy).
The Standards: 1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
4. Model with mathematics.
5. Use appropriate tools strategically.
6. Attend to precision.
7. Look for and make use of structure.
8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.
1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. Mathematically proficient students start by explaining to themselves the meaning of a problem and looking for entry points to its solution. They analyze givens, constraints, relationships, and goals. They make conjectures about the form and meaning of the solution and plan a solution pathway rather than simply jumping into a solution attempt. They consider analogous problems, and try special cases and simpler forms of the original problem in order to gain insight into its solution. They monitor and evaluate their progress and change course if necessary. Older students might, depending on the context of the problem, transform algebraic expressions or change the viewing window on their graphing calculator to get the information they need. Mathematically proficient students can explain correspondences between equations, verbal descriptions, tables, and graphs or draw diagrams of important features and relationships, graph data, and search for regularity or trends. Younger students might rely on using concrete objects or pictures to help conceptualize and solve a problem. Mathematically proficient students check their answers to problems using a different method, and they continually ask themselves, “Does this make sense?” They can understand the approaches of others to solving complex problems and identify correspondences between different approaches.
2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively. Mathematically proficient students make sense of quantities and their relationships in problem situations. They bring two complementary abilities to bear on problems involving quantitative relationships: the ability to decontextualize—to abstract a given situation and represent it symbolically and manipulate the representing symbols as if they have a life of their own, without necessarily attending to their referents—and the ability to contextualize, to pause as needed during the manipulation process in order to probe into the referents for the symbols involved. Quantitative reasoning entails habits of creating a coherent representation of the problem at hand; considering the units involved; attending to the meaning of quantities, not just how to compute them; and knowing and flexibly using different properties of operations and objects.
3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. Mathematically proficient students understand and use stated assumptions, definitions, and previously established results in constructing arguments. They make conjectures and build a logical progression of statements to explore the truth of their conjectures. They are able to analyze situations by breaking them into cases, and can recognize and use counterexamples. They justify their conclusions, communicate them to others, and respond to the arguments of others. They reason inductively about data, making plausible arguments that take into account the context from which the data arose. Mathematically proficient students are also able to compare the effectiveness of two plausible arguments, distinguish correct logic or reasoning from that which is flawed, and—if there is a flaw in an argument—explain what it is. Elementary students can construct arguments using concrete referents such as objects,

drawings, diagrams, and actions. Such arguments can make sense and be correct, even though they are not generalized or made formal until later grades. Later, students learn to determine domains to which an argument applies. Students at all grades can listen or read the arguments of others, decide whether they make sense, and ask useful questions to clarify or improve the arguments.
4. Model with mathematics. Mathematically proficient students can apply the mathematics they know to solve problems arising in everyday life, society, and the workplace. In early grades, this might be as simple as writing an addition equation to describe a situation. In middle grades, a student might apply proportional reasoning to plan a school event or analyze a problem in the community. By high school, a student might use geometry to solve a design problem or use a function to describe how one quantity of interest depends on another. Mathematically proficient students who can apply what they know are comfortable making assumptions and approximations to simplify a complicated situation, realizing that these may need revision later. They are able to identify important quantities in a practical situation and map their relationships using such tools as diagrams, two-way tables, graphs, flowcharts and formulas. They can analyze those relationships mathematically to draw conclusions. They routinely interpret their mathematical results in the context of the situation and reflect on whether the results make sense, possibly improving the model if it has not served its purpose.
5. Use appropriate tools strategically. Mathematically proficient students consider the available tools when solving a mathematical problem. These tools might include pencil and paper, concrete models, a ruler, a protractor, a calculator, a spreadsheet, a computer algebra system, a statistical package, or dynamic geometry software. Proficient students are sufficiently familiar with tools appropriate for their grade or course to make sound decisions about when each of these tools might be helpful, recognizing both the insight to be gained and their limitations. For example, mathematically proficient high school students analyze graphs of functions and solutions generated using a graphing calculator. They detect possible errors by strategically using estimation and other mathematical knowledge. When making mathematical models, they know that technology can enable them to visualize the results of varying assumptions, explore consequences, and compare predictions with data. Mathematically proficient students at various grade levels are able to identify relevant external mathematical resources, such as digital content located on a website, and use them to pose or solve problems. They are able to use technological tools to explore and deepen their understanding of concepts.
6. Attend to precision. Mathematically proficient students try to communicate precisely to others. They try to use clear definitions in discussion with others and in their own reasoning. They state the meaning of the symbols they choose, including using the equal sign consistently and appropriately. They are careful about specifying units of measure, and labeling axes to clarify the correspondence with quantities in a problem. They calculate accurately and efficiently, express numerical answers with a degree of precision appropriate for the problem context. In the elementary grades, students give carefully formulated explanations to each other. By the time they reach high school they have learned to examine claims and make explicit use of definitions.
7. Look for and make use of structure. Mathematically proficient students look closely to discern a pattern or structure. Young students, for example, might notice that three and seven more is the same amount as seven and three more, or they may sort a collection of shapes according to how many sides the shapes have. Later, students will see 7 x 8 equals the well-remembered 7 x 5 + 7 x 3, in preparation for learning about the distributive property. In the expression x2 + 9x + 14, older students can see the 14 as 2 x 7 and the 9 as 2 + 7. They recognize the significance of an existing line in a geometric figure and can use the strategy of drawing an auxiliary line for solving problems. They also can step back for an overview and shift perspective. They can see complicated things, such as some algebraic expressions, as single objects or as being composed of several objects. For example, they can see 5 – 3(x – y)2 as 5 minus a positive number times a square and use that to realize that its value cannot be more than 5 for any real numbers x and y.
8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning. Mathematically proficient students notice if calculations are repeated, and look both for general methods and for shortcuts. Upper elementary students might notice when dividing 25 by 11 that they are repeating the same calculations over and over again, and conclude they have a repeating decimal. By paying attention to the calculation of slope as they repeatedly check whether points are on the line through (1, 2) with slope 3, middle school students might abstract the equation (y – 2)/(x – 1) = 3. Noticing the regularity in the way terms cancel when expanding (x – 1)(x + 1), (x – 1)(x2 + x + 1), and (x – 1)(x3 + x2 + x +1) might lead them to the general formula for the sum of a geometric series. As they work to solve a problem, mathematically proficient students maintain oversight of the process, while attending to the details. They continually evaluate the reasonableness of their intermediate results.
