In Mathematics 5th, students increase their facility with the four basic arithmetic operations applied to fractions, decimals, and positive and negative numbers. They know and use common measuring units to determine length and area and know and use formulas to determine the volume of simple geometric figures. Students work with angle measurement and use a protractor and compass to solve problems. They use grids, tables, graphs, and charts to record and analyze data.
