5th Grade Math
Carroll County Math Curriculum
Unit 1- Geometry
Unit2 – Place value, decimal computation, and metric conversion
Unit 3- Multiplication of whole numbers and volume
Unit 4- Division of whole numbers and customary measurement conversions
Unit 5- Addition and Subtraction of fractions
Unit 6- Multiplication and division of fractions
Unit 7- Multiplying and dividing decimals
Unit 8- Algebraic thinking and Coordinate planes
Unit 9- Division standard algorithm
Say, “The CCPS Standards build a solid foundation in: whole numbers; addition; subtraction; multiplication; division; fractions; and
decimals.
Taken together, these elements support a student’s ability to learn and apply more demanding math concepts and procedures. Your child will practice applying mathematical ways of thinking to real world problems and be prepared to think and reason mathematically.”

7. Formal Assessments Reading/Writing Math
