Frances Hazel Reid Elementary
Math Plan 2012-13
Grade 5 students apply their understanding of fractions and fraction models to represent the
addition and subtraction of fractions and develop fluency in calculating sums and differences of
fractions. Students develop understanding of why division procedures work based on the
meaning of base-tem numerals and properties of operations. They apply their understandings of
models for decimals, decimal notation, and properties of operations to add, subtract, multiply,
and divide decimals and develop fluency in these computations. Students recognize volume as an
attribute of three-dimensional space. They understand that volume can be measured by finding
the total number of same-size units of volume required to fill a space. Students decompose three
dimensional shapes and find volumes of rectangular prisms by decomposing them into layers of
arrays of cubes.
