5th Grade Math covers a wide span of mathematical areas and goes by fast. In order to refresh their brains on these many topics, your child will be doing graded morning work that consists of the same skills, format, and directions throughout the year. A few of these topics include:
*Basic Facts
*Algorithms
*Problem Solving
*Metric Measures
*Customary Measures
*Decimals, Fractions, Percents
*Probability and Statistics
*Graphing
*Number Sense and Operations
*Algebraic Patterns and Reasoning
*Perimeter, Area, Volume, Surface Area
*Geometry
*Math Vocabulary
Your child *should* not have "hours" of homework each night. As parents ourselves, we understand balancing home and school life. However, your child may bring work home from school to complete if they were unable to finish the assignment during class and study hall. There will also be times where they will need to study information, but more details will follow with those assignments. Please encourage them to use their time wisely.
Lastly, it is recommended that your child work in USATestPrep on their yellow or red dots for 15 minutes every night. However, math will be much easier if your student is fluent in their multiplication facts. Please make sure you work on these with either flash cards, apps, or the Math Magician link found on the homepage.
