Educational Activities and Teaching Resources for 5th Grade
5th grade is upon us! Welcome to the wonderful world of PEMDAS—a parenthetical paradise where brackets have nothing to do with basketball and braces don't cost a small fortune! In fifth grade, pattern recognition is emphasized and place value is revisited. Students can now fluently add and subtract large numbers, compare fractions and decimals, and begin applying operations to those numbers. Various units of measurement are explored and angles and lines serve as the primary themes for most geometry work.
Research papers may be anathema to most students, but by now we've developed the skills to sufficiently analyze and synthesize text. Look out book reports, here we come! Fifth grade reading work is largely a continuation of everything students worked toward in the previous year, just on a larger scale and with more challenging texts. Many students will have identified a number of enticing characters and series when picking out books, and they are doing a better job of comprehending literary devices like metaphors and similes.
Some of the skills students will master in eSpark include:
Math
- Using parentheses, brackets, and braces
- Understanding and applying order of operations
- Writing and interpreting simple expressions
- Identifying pattern relationships and forming ordered pairs
- Multiplying by powers of 10
- Reading, writing, and comparing decimals to thousandths; solving decimal equations
- Fluently multiplying multi-digit whole numbers
- Adding, subtracting, and dividing fractions; completing word problems with mixed numbers
- Understanding metric measurement and completing measurement word problems
- Measuring angles, areas, and perimeter
- Using fractional line plots
Reading
- Differentiating between explicit meaning and inferences
- Comparing and contrasting story elements
- Summarizing texts
- Identifying theme through characters
- Relating parts of a text to the whole; understanding structure
- Comparing and contrasting similar texts (same genre or topic)
- Using context clues to define unknown words and phrases
- Enhancing meaning and tone with multimedia
- Identifying main idea and key details; explaining two related ideas
- Using text features to find information
- Integrating information from multiple texts
