This is followed by adding and subtracting fractions with like and unlike denominators, regrouping in subtraction when necessary. Students also learn to use metric units of measurement, including the measuring tools and unit names appropriate for measuring capacity, mass, length, and time. They also practice converting from grams to kilograms, meters to millimeters, and so on. In geometry, they learned about triangles, angles, and circles. Using geometric tools such as the protractor and compass, they draw and measure angles and circles.
Students also learn to use formulas to solve equations.
They learn to use formulas for area, perimeter, and circumference. The fifth grade math program presents new skills to the students, while continuing to build upon what they have already learned. Homework is posted everyday both on the class board and on eal-life. Students are responsible for copying it into their homework journal each morning. All homework should be completed independently at home and turned in at the start of the following class day.
