From our teachers' playbook

Decimals, fractions and big-kid math!

What do 5th graders learn in math?

Fifth grade is where math grows up. Kids add, subtract, multiply and divide decimals to the hundredths, and stretch place value all the way to thousandths. They add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators, like 1/2 + 1/3 = 3/6 + 2/6 = 5/6, and start multiplying fractions too. Long division gets two-digit divisors, volume gets measured in cubes, and the coordinate plane shows up for the first time. The big click is seeing that decimals and fractions are just two ways to write the same amount.

Our favorite ways to make 5th grade math stick

Fifth graders can handle big ideas when we break them into clear steps. These are the moves we trust all year.

Think aloud through long division

Two-digit divisors scare kids until they see someone do it out loud. Work one problem slowly: "How many 23s fit in 98? Let me estimate with 20." Then do one together, then let them fly solo. Estimation first takes the panic away.

Why it works: showing first, practicing together, then letting kids try alone is the "gradual release" model teachers have relied on for decades (Pearson and Gallagher, 1983).

Sing the facts

Shaky multiplication facts slow down everything in 5th grade, from long division to fractions. A skip counting song in the morning warms up those facts fast. Kids hum it during tests, and that's a win!

Why it works: words set to a repeating melody are easier to recall than the same words spoken (Wallace, 1994).

Keep decimals in the mix

Don't teach decimals for two weeks and drop them. Toss two decimal problems into every warm-up for the rest of the year. Lining up the decimal points becomes automatic when kids see it again and again.

Why it works: the brain holds on to what it meets again and again over time; spaced practice was rated among the very best methods (Dunlosky and colleagues, 2013).

Questions teachers and parents ask

What math should a 5th grader know?

By the end of 5th grade, kids should add, subtract, multiply and divide decimals, add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators, divide with two-digit divisors and find the volume of a box. They also start using the coordinate plane and order of operations.

What is the hardest math in 5th grade?

Most kids find fractions with unlike denominators and long division with two-digit divisors the toughest. Both get easier once multiplication facts are quick and automatic.

How can I help my 5th grader with math at home?

Practice multiplication facts for a few minutes a day, and use real life: split a pizza into fractions or compare prices with decimals at the store. Short and regular beats long and rare.

How do I make 5th grade math fun?

Mix in games, songs and hands-on building, like making boxes from cubes to learn volume. Kids at this age love competition, so quick timed challenges against their own score work great.
