Class Experience

US Grade 5
Beginner Level
*I strongly encourage students to obtain the Spectrum Math 5 Workbook prior to enrolling in this course. This workbook serves as the foundation for our lessons, which are thoughtfully paced and supported by me, your certified math teacher, to help ensure mastery of the material. If you need the purchase link, feel free to send me a message!

Grade 5 focuses on three key advancements from previous years: (1) developing fluency with addition and subtraction of fractions, and developing understanding of multiplication and division of fractions in certain cases; (2) integrating decimal fractions into the place value system and developing fluency with operations with whole numbers and decimals to hundredths; and (3) developing understanding of volume (fishtanklearning.com)
