Unit 1 · 19 skills

Number

Numbers to a Million and Estimation

Mental Math for Facts

Multiplication and Division

Fractions

Decimals to Thousandths

The official wording · 19 outcomes
5.N1
Represent and describe whole numbers to 1 000 000.
5.N2
Use estimation strategies including front-end rounding, compensation, and compatible numbers in problem-solving contexts.
5.N2
Use estimation strategies including front-end rounding, compensation, and compatible numbers in problem-solving contexts.
5.N3
Apply mental mathematics strategies and number properties, such as skip counting from a known fact, using doubling or halving
5.N3
using patterns in the 9s facts, and using repeated doubling or halving to determine answers for basic multiplication facts to 81 and related division facts.
5.N4
Apply mental mathematics strategies for multiplication, such as annexing then adding zero
5.N4
halving and doubling
5.N4
and using the distributive property.
5.N5
Demonstrate an understanding of multiplication (2-digit by 2-digit) to solve problems.
5.N5
Demonstrate an understanding of multiplication (2-digit by 2-digit) to solve problems.
5.N6
Demonstrate, with and without concrete materials, an understanding of division (3- digit by 1-digit)
5.N6
and interpret remainders to solve problems.
5.N7
Demonstrate an understanding of fractions by using concrete and pictorial representations to create sets of equivalent fractions
5.N7
compare fractions with like and unlike denominators.
5.N7
compare fractions with like and unlike denominators.
5.N8
Describe and represent decimals (tenths, hundredths, thousandths) concretely, pictorially and symbolically.
5.N9
Relate decimals to fractions (to thousandths).
5.N10
Compare and order decimals (to thousandths) by using benchmarks, place value, and equivalent decimals.
5.N11
Demonstrate an understanding of addition and subtraction of decimals (limited to thousandths).

Key ideas

  1. Big numbers are grouped into ones, thousands, and millions.

  2. From a known fact, skip to a nearby one: 5 x 8 then 6 x 8.

  3. Break each number by place value and multiply the parts.

  4. Equivalent fractions name the same amount, like 1/2 and 2/4.

  5. A thousandth is one of a thousand equal parts.

Watch out for

  • Misplacing the thousands grouping.
  • Doubling the wrong part of the fact.
  • Multiplying only the tens or only the ones.

Unit 2 · 2 skills

Patterns and Relations

Pattern Rules and Equations

The official wording · 2 outcomes
5.PR1
Determine the pattern rule to make predictions about subsequent elements.
5.PR2
Solve problems involving single-variable, one-step equations with whole number coefficients and whole number solutions.

Key ideas

  1. A pattern rule tells how each term relates to its position.

  2. We can use the rule to predict a term without listing them all.

  3. A variable like x stands for the unknown number.

  4. We undo the operation to find the value of the variable.

Watch out for

  • Describing only the difference, not the full rule.
  • Extending by listing rather than using the rule.
  • Using the wrong operation to undo the equation.

Unit 3 · 9 skills

Shape and Space

Rectangles from Perimeter or Area

Measuring Length in Millimetres

Volume of Rectangular Prisms

Quadrilaterals

The official wording · 9 outcomes
5.SS1
Design and construct different rectangles given either perimeter or area, or both (whole numbers) and draw conclusions.
5.SS1
Design and construct different rectangles given either perimeter or area, or both (whole numbers) and draw conclusions.
5.SS2
Demonstrate an understanding of measuring length (mm) by selecting and justifying referents for the unit mm
5.SS2
modelling and describing the relationship between mm and cm units, and between mm and m units.
5.SS3
Demonstrate an understanding of volume by selecting and justifying referents for cm3 or m3 units
5.SS3
estimating volume by using referents for cm3 or m3
5.SS3
measuring and recording volume (cm3 or m3)
5.SS3
and constructing rectangular prisms for a given volume.
5.SS4
Identify and sort quadrilaterals, including rectangles, squares, trapezoids, parallelograms, and rhombuses according to their attributes.

Key ideas

  1. Rectangles with the same perimeter can have different shapes and areas.

  2. A millimetre is a very small length.

  3. Volume is the space an object takes up, counted in cubic units.

  4. A quadrilateral is any four-sided shape.

  5. Perimeter is the total distance around the rectangle.

Watch out for

  • Thinking same perimeter means same area.
  • Choosing a referent much bigger than a millimetre.
  • Choosing a referent much bigger or smaller than the unit.

Unit 4 · 2 skills

Statistics and Probability

Data and Double Bar Graphs

The official wording · 2 outcomes
5.SP1
Differentiate between first-hand and second-hand data.
5.SP2
Construct and interpret double bar graphs to draw conclusions.

Key ideas

  1. First-hand data is collected by us directly.

  2. Second-hand data comes from another source, like a book or website.

  3. A double bar graph shows two sets of data side by side.

  4. A legend tells which bar is which group.

Watch out for

  • Calling collected data second-hand.
  • Thinking all data is first-hand.
  • Reading the wrong bar for a group.
