Math in 5th Grade
5th grade math is designed to prepare students for Pre-Algebra in middle school. While students still problem-solve in groups and work together frequently to tackle mathematical challenges, 5th grade math also readies students to work independently, persevere through challenges, and go beyond calculation to conceptualization of the math they are encountering.
