American School of Kosova - 5th Grade Math - Curriculum Guide (2013/2014)

ASK 5 Grade Math Curriculum

Throughout the 5th and 6th Grade guides, terminology will be used to stress the importance of certain subject areas over others. As the books being used cover slightly more information than they need in their current year.
Intensive

th

Focus should instruct that the information is either new or very important and needs to be taken at a pace that ensures Student Proficiency. Review and Re-teach implies that students should have already the material to some extent, and hopefully only need some refreshment. Modify will appear when the information to above the grade level and needs to be changed to meet the needs of the students. This will happen in different amounts specified throughout the document. 5th Grade - Harcourt Math 2004 Chapter 1 - Whole Number Applications (Review and Re-teach) 1.1 Place Value 1.2 Estimate with Whole Numbers 1.3 Addition and Subtraction (Long) 1.4 Multiplication and Division (Long) 1.5 Predict and Test Chapter 2 - Operation Sense (Intensive Focus) 2.1 Algebra Expressions 2.2 Algebra Mental Math and Equations 2.3 Algebra Properties 2.4 Mental Math Use the Properties 2.5 Exponents 2.6 Order of Operations 2.7 Problem Solving Skill Multistep Problems Chapter 3 - Decimal Concepts (Intensive Focus) 3.1 Represent, Compare, and Order Decimals 3.2 Problem Solving Strategy Make a Table 3.3 Estimate with Decimals 3.4 Decimals and Percents Chapter 4 - Decimal Operations (Intensive Focus) 4.1 Add and Subtract Decimals 4.2 Multiply Decimals 4.3 Explore Division of Decimals 4.4 Divide Decimals by Whole Numbers 4.5 Divide Decimals by Decimals 4.6 Problem Solving Skill Interpret the Remainder
