This parent guide supports parents in helping their child at home with the 5th grade Math content.

This resource accompanies our Rethink 5th Grade Math course. It includes ideas for use, ways to support exceptional children, ways to extend learning, digital resources and tools, tips for supporting English Language Learners and students with visual and hearing impairments. There are also ideas for offline learning. 

This choice board will work best after teaching all of the NBT standards as it includes choices for multiplying whole numbers, dividing whole numbers, adding and subtracting decimals, and dividing decimals. 

This mini choice board was used as a center in my math class. I used slidesmania to display the options in a fun way. 

In this video, a student explains how to use the area model for multiplication. The area model is a multiplication strategy based on decomposing numbers basedon place value.

In this activity, students learn about their heart rate and different ways it can be measured. Students construct a simple measurement device using clay and a toothpick, and then use this device to measure their heart rate under different circumstances (i.e., sitting, standing and jumping). Students make predictions and record data on a worksheet.

This resource teaches students how to master multiplying larger numbers by incorporating three parts: 1) multiplying numbers on paper, 2) multiplying numbers mentally, and 3) practice & assessment.

Dancing Dash!
Create a dance for Dash to do along with students to demonstrate mastery of Math (addition/subtraction) and Science (motion/force).

This document provides sample performance tasks/assessment items for Common Core State Standards Grade 5 Math provided by the Louisiana Department of Eduation. Both questions and exemplary responses are included.

This video was created by NCDPI. This video examines best practices and research related to developing computational fluency. Teaching strategies and tips are provided.

Students will use the area model, repeat addition and standard multiplication strategies to multiply two digit numbers through a Computer Science Coding process.

In this task students will critique a common multiplication error that occurs when using the standard algorithm. Students employ several of the mathematical practices when a) considering how reasonable the anaswer is, b) analyzing the work for an error, and c) explaining what went wrong for Elmer and how to fix it.

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach fourth graders about finding the expression not matching a given number.

In this lesson students explore  open arrays and partial products for multiplication and make connections to the U.S. Standard algorithm for multiplication.

Students will be given a PBL problem “How can we use data collected for Feed the Hunger to solve problems and be prepared for our packing day on November 10th?” Student’s will develop a plan to package food for this organization. They will work in groups of 4 or 5 as they work on this PBL. This lesson was developed by Erin Plummer as part of their completion of the North Carolina Global Educator Digital Badge program. This lesson plan has been vetted at the local and state level for standards alignment, Global Education focus, and content accuracy.            

In this lesson, students will be completing a math problem based learning activity by solving mathematical problems and activites to help when students pack food through our Feed the Hunger Campaign. This lesson was developed by Marissa Piersanti as part of their completion of the North Carolina Global Educator Digital Badge program. This lesson plan has been vetted at the local and state level for standards alignment, Global Education focus, and content accuracy.            

In this activty, students use their knowledge of fluently mutliplying number in order to race 300. Students will mutlipy with multiples of 10 (10, 20, 30, 40 or 50.)

Students use their knowledge of fluently mutliplying number in order to race 300. Students will mutlipy with multiples of 10 (10, 20, 30, 40 or 50.)

This hands-on activity explores five different forms of erosion (chemical, water, wind, glacier and temperature). Students rotate through stations and model each type of erosion on rocks, soils and minerals. The students record their observations and discuss the effects of erosion on the Earth's landscape. Students learn about how engineers are involved in the protection of landscapes and structures from erosion. Math problems are included to help students think about the effects of erosion in real-world scenarios.
