Fifth Grade Everyday Mathematics
Welcome to Fifth Grade Everday Mathematics. This curriculum was developed by the University of Chicago School Mathematics Project to offer students a broad background in mathematics.
The features of the program described below are to help familarize you with the structure and expectations of Everday Mathematics.
A problem-solving approach based on everyday situations. Students learn basic math skills in a context that is meaningful by making connections between their own knowledge and experience and mathematics concepts.
Frequent practice of basic skills. Students practice basic skills in a variety of engaging ways. In addition to completing daily review exercises covering a variety of topics and working with multiplication and division fact families in different formats, students play games that are specifically designed to develop basic skills.
An instructional approach that revisits concepts regularly. Lessons are designed to take advantage of previously learned concepts and skills and to build on them throughout the year.
A curriculum that explores mathematical content beyond basis arithmetic. Mathematics standards around the world indicate that basic arithmetic skills are only the beginning of the mathematical knowledge students will need as they develop critical-thinking skills. In addition to basic arithmetic, Everyday Mathematics developes concepts and skills in the following topics, number and numeration; operations and computation; data and chance; geometry; measurement and reference frames; and patterns, functions, and algebra.
