Grade 5 Mathematics: Number, Patterns, Geometry, and Data

A four-topic, approximately 60-day Grade 5 Mathematics learning path aligned with Alberta Programs of Study outcomes commonly used within the Calgary Board of Education. Students develop mathematical reasoning through concrete materials, visual models, discussion, problem solving, practice, and real-world applications.

Across approximately 15 days, students develop fluency and conceptual understanding with whole numbers to 1,000,000, including reading, representing, comparing, ordering, rounding, estimating, and solving multi-step problems. They use place-value reasoning and standard algorithms to add, subtract, multiply, and divide whole numbers, while explaining the reasonableness of answers. Students also connect fractions, decimals, and visual models; compare and order fractions with related denominators; represent decimals to thousandths; and add and subtract decimals to hundredths in meaningful contexts. Lessons emphasize multiple strategies, mental mathematics, estimation, mathematical vocabulary, and clear written communication.

Recommended Tasks
  • Create a place-value and estimation portfolio containing representations of large numbers, rounding examples, and explanations of when an estimate is useful. Include at least five real-world word problems.
  • Complete a multi-day classroom budgeting investigation in which students plan a small event, calculate costs using whole-number and decimal operations, estimate totals, and justify whether their answers are reasonable.
  • Build a fraction-decimal connection poster or digital presentation using fraction strips, base-ten blocks, number lines, and equivalent representations. Finish with a short problem-solving assessment involving fractions and decimals.
What's Covered

Place-value charts, base-ten blocks, decimal grids, fraction strips, and number lines, Math Learning Centre virtual manipulatives, Teacher-created mini-lessons on estimation, standard algorithms, and decimal operations, Alberta Grade 5 number-and-operations problem set
