Mathematics 5 A/B

Segment A of Mathematics 5 teaches that numbers can represent quantity, position, location and relationships, and that decimals can be computed using much the same processes as whole numbers and are useful in many practical situations. Students learn that fractions can be used to represent part of a whole, and rounding techniques can be used to estimate the solution to a problem.

In Segment B of Mathematics 5, students learn that geometric figures have unique characteristics that allow for classification. In addition, students will gain practice with the ability to measure and convert between measurements in different units to achieve accuracy in measurement. Other lessons include the ability to display and analyze data to be able to make predictions, and that patterns in data can be expressed using algebraic symbols in addition to coordinate graphs.

 

PRE-REQUISITES: None

ESTIMATED COMPLETION TIME: 32-36 weeks or approximately 125 – 135 hours
