Complete 5th Grade Math Curriculum Walkthrough

During the e-learning that followed the rise of the pandemic, it is estimated that students across the board are going to enter the next grade level 90 days behind in their learning paths. With this in mind, I have created this course to help fill the gaps of students going into middle school next year. This is a comprehensive instruction into every standard covered in the 5th grade standards. This is an important resource because of the chaos of what parents love to refer to as "new math." As I tell my students, some of the ways they are taught to do things these days are different from how their parents (and I) learned them. They need to understand these topics because they build on each other and continue to get more difficult as they progress through their mathematical journey. Let me clarify for anyone reading this that the topics are not intentionally difficult. There is a valid reason for why the powers that be chose to change things. The hope was that if students could understand the concepts of what is going on when doing the math, they would understand and remember it better than if they were expected to just remember shortcuts and simple tricks. That's why we tend to see more models involved, rather than algorithms that involve stacking numbers on top of one another. Put your frustrations and doubts aside and join me in this walk through 5th grade math!
