Get help with Mathematics 5
Most tutoring makes your child sit through material your child already knows. MapleMind flips that: pick the exact skill that's causing trouble — any of the 27 below — and the tutor teaches just that one, step by step, as many times as it takes. Ask questions in plain words, any time of day, in English, French, or 12 other languages.

How MapleMind teaches Mathematics 5 — every unit, lesson, and skill
Every skill below runs as a short session: a plain-words lesson, a worked example, solving it together, then a five-question skill check that earns up to three stars. Guided Mode keeps it teaching instead of answer-handing — turning it off needs a parent's password.
Unit 1NumberOfficial strand · Number
Organizing idea: quantity is measured with numbers that enable counting, labelling, comparing, and operating. Decimal place value, big addition and subtraction, divisibility, multiplication and division, improper fractions, fraction operations, and ratios.
Decimal Place Value Patterns
- Precision and trailing zeros5.N.1 — Understand that more decimal places means more precision, and that a zero in the rightmost place of a decimal does not change its value.
- Decimals between decimals5.N.1 — Discover that there are infinitely many decimal numbers between any two decimal numbers.
Adding and Subtracting Big Numbers and Decimals
- Standard algorithms to 1 000 0005.N.2 — Add and subtract natural numbers within 1 000 000 using the standard algorithms.
- Adding and subtracting decimals to thousandths5.N.2 — Add and subtract decimal numbers to thousandths by aligning place values in the standard algorithms.
Divisibility
- Divisibility tests for 2, 3 and 55.N.3 — Investigate divisibility by natural numbers from 0 to 10 and generalize the divisibility tests for 2, 3 and 5.
- Finding factors (and why zero can never divide)5.N.3 — Use divisibility tests to determine factors of natural numbers, and understand that division by zero is not possible.
Multiplying and Dividing Big Numbers
- The multiplication algorithm5.N.4 — Multiply natural numbers within 100 000 using the standard algorithm.
- The division algorithm5.N.4 — Divide natural numbers within 100 000 using the standard algorithm, interpreting remainders in context.
Improper Fractions and Mixed Numbers
- Fractions bigger than one5.N.5 — Interpret improper fractions as quantities greater than one (numerator greater than denominator), including natural numbers as fractions with denominator 1.
- Mixed numbers and improper fractions5.N.5 — Represent the same quantity as a mixed number (wholes plus a fractional part) and as an improper fraction, converting between the two.
Adding and Subtracting Fractions
- Adding and subtracting with common denominators5.N.6 — Add and subtract fractions with common denominators by composing and decomposing unit fractions.
- Adding and subtracting past one whole5.N.6 — Add and subtract fractions greater than one, working as mixed numbers or improper fractions.
Ratios
- Part-part and part-whole ratios5.N.7 — Express part-part and part-whole relationships between quantities as ratios, using fraction or colon notation.
- Percent as a ratio to 1005.N.7 — Interpret a percentage as a part-whole ratio that compares a quantity to 100.

Expressions and Equations
- Parentheses and order of operations5.A.1 — Evaluate numerical expressions with multiple operations, performing operations in parentheses first.
- Meet algebraic expressions5.A.1 — Interpret algebraic expressions: variables as unknown values written with letters, coefficients, constant terms, products without the × sign, quotients as fractions, and evaluating by substitution.
- Solving equations with inverse operations5.A.1 — Solve equations by applying inverse operations, and recognize the resulting value of the variable as the solution.
The official wording — 1 outcome in this unit
- 5.A.1
Students interpret numerical and algebraic expressions.
Unit 3GeometryOfficial strand · Geometry
Organizing idea: shapes are defined and related by geometric attributes. Reflection symmetry in 2-D and 3-D, rotation symmetry and its order, and the symmetries of regular polygons and circles.
Symmetry
- Reflection symmetry5.G.1 — Identify reflection symmetry: a line over which a 2-D shape reflects onto itself (or a plane, for a 3-D shape) with the two halves matching exactly.
- Rotation symmetry and its order5.G.1 — Identify rotation symmetry and its order, including that a regular polygon has as many symmetries as sides and a circle has infinitely many.
The official wording — 1 outcome in this unit
- 5.G.1

Unit 4Coordinate GeometryOfficial strand · Coordinate Geometry
Organizing idea: location and movement of objects in space can be communicated using a coordinate grid. Coordinate grids, ordered pairs, and positional language.
Grids and Location
- Reading and plotting grid coordinates5.CG.1 — Locate and plot points on a coordinate grid using ordered pairs — first number is the distance from the vertical axis, second is the distance from the horizontal axis.

The official wording — 1 outcome in this unit
- 5.CG.1

Area
- Area in standard units5.M.1 — Estimate and calculate area using standard units derived from length: square centimetres, square metres and square kilometres.
- Area and perimeter relationships5.M.1 — Explore rectangles with the same area but different perimeters — among them, the square has the least perimeter.
The official wording — 1 outcome in this unit
- 5.M.1
