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 19 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
Big Idea: numbers describe scale, and computational fluency requires a strong sense of number. Numbers to a million, decimals to thousandths, equivalent fractions, whole-number/fraction/decimal benchmarks, big addition and subtraction, three-digit multiplication and division, decimal addition and subtraction, and building fluency with facts.
Numbers to a Million
- Understanding numbers to 1 000 0005.C.1 — Read, write, compare, and understand the place value of numbers up to one million, including how each place is ten times the value of the place to its right.
Decimals to Thousandths
- Reading and comparing decimals to thousandths5.C.2 — Read, write, and compare decimal numbers to the thousandths place, understanding the value of each decimal place.
Equivalent Fractions
- Finding equivalent fractions5.C.3 — Generate equivalent fractions for a given fraction and recognize when two fractions name the same amount.
Benchmarks for Whole Numbers, Fractions, and Decimals
- Using benchmarks to estimate and place numbers5.C.4 — Use familiar benchmark numbers (like 0, 1/2, 1, 10, 100) to estimate and place whole numbers, fractions, and decimals on a number line.
Adding and Subtracting Big Numbers
- Adding and subtracting whole numbers to 1 000 0005.C.5 — Add and subtract whole numbers up to one million using an efficient strategy or the standard algorithm.
Multiplying and Dividing with Remainders
- Multiplying and dividing to three digits, including remainders5.C.6 — Multiply and divide numbers up to three digits, interpreting any leftover amount as a remainder in the context of the problem.
Adding and Subtracting Decimals
- Adding and subtracting decimals to thousandths5.C.7 — Add and subtract decimal numbers to the thousandths place by lining up place value.
Building Fact Fluency
- Quick addition and subtraction facts to 205.C.8 — Recall addition and subtraction facts to 20 quickly and confidently, extending fluency built in earlier grades.
- Growing multiplication and division facts to 1005.C.9 — Continue building recall of multiplication and division facts up to 100 as an emerging (still-developing) fluency.

Unit 2Patterns and AlgebraOfficial strand · Patterns
Big Idea: patterns can be used to make generalizations, and equations represent relationships. Describing increasing and decreasing pattern rules with words, numbers, symbols, and variables, and solving one-step equations with a variable.
Pattern Rules with Variables
- Describing pattern rules in different ways5.C.10 — Describe the rule for an increasing or decreasing pattern using words, numbers, symbols, and variables.
One-Step Equations
- Solving one-step equations5.C.11 — Solve one-step equations that use a variable to represent an unknown number.

- 5.C.10
rules for increasing and decreasing patterns with words, numbers, symbols, and variables
- 5.C.11
one-step equations with variables
Unit 3MeasurementOfficial strand · Measurement
Big Idea: the choice of a unit of measure affects precision, and relationships between shapes and their measurements can be described. Measuring area of squares and rectangles, the relationship between area and perimeter, and measuring duration of time.
Area of Squares and Rectangles
- Measuring area of squares and rectangles5.C.12 — Estimate and measure the area of squares and rectangles using square units.
Area and Perimeter Relationships
- How area and perimeter relate5.C.13 — Explore and describe the relationship between the area and the perimeter of a shape, including that shapes with the same area can have different perimeters.
Measuring Duration
- Figuring out how much time has passed5.C.14 — Measure and calculate the duration of an event using units of time, including elapsed time across hours and minutes.
The official wording — 3 outcomes in this unit
- 5.C.12

Unit 4GeometryOfficial strand · Geometry
Big Idea: shapes can be classified by their attributes, and can be transformed in predictable ways. Classifying prisms and pyramids by their attributes, and applying a single transformation (translation, rotation, or reflection) to a shape.
Prisms and Pyramids
- Classifying prisms and pyramids5.C.15 — Sort and classify prisms and pyramids by their attributes, such as the shape of their base, number of faces, edges, and vertices.
Sliding, Turning, and Flipping Shapes

The official wording — 2 outcomes in this unit
- 5.C.15
classification of prisms and pyramids
- 5.C.16
single transformations
Unit 5Data and LikelihoodOfficial strand · Data
Big Idea: data represented in graphs can be used to show many-to-one relationships, and analyzing chance builds understanding of likelihood. Moving from graphs where one picture or unit stands for one thing (one-to-one) to graphs where one picture or unit stands for many (many-to-one), and running single-event probability experiments.
One-to-One and Many-to-One Graphs
- Reading graphs where one symbol stands for many5.C.17 — Read and create graphs using one-to-one correspondence (one symbol represents one item) and many-to-one correspondence (one symbol represents more than one item), including a legend or key.
Probability Experiments: Single Events
