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. 

The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) videos are designed to support states, schools, and teachers in the implementation of selected math standards. Each video is an audiovisual resource that focuses on one or more specific standards through examples and illustrations geared to enhancing understanding. The intent of each content-focused video is to clarify the meaning of the individual standard rather than to be a guide on how to teach each standard, although the examples can be adapted for instructional use.

This is one possible method for using the area model for division.

With this division strategy, students divide by breaking the dividend into its expanded form. Then, students use familiar multiplication facts to divide. It is suggested that this would be the first of three strategies for division (preceding partial quotients and the standard algorithm.

Students create their own anemometers instruments for measuring wind speed. They see how an anemometer measures wind speed by taking measurements at various school locations. They also learn about different types of anemometers, real-world applications, and how wind speed information helps engineers decide where to place wind turbines.

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach fourth graders about dividing 2 digits by 2 digits with a remainder.

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach fourth graders about finding the missing number.

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach fifth graders about dividing 2-digit numbers by 2-digit numbers.

In this interactive resource, students are taken step by step through the process of dividing by double digit numbers.

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach fourth graders about finding the adjusted rate - word problems.

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach fifth graders about finding the total using division - word problems.

In this activity, students will use different strategies in order to solve division word problems.

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.
