Course Description: This course is foundational for grade five students. Mathematics instruction will focus on mastery of
these concepts and skills: developing fluency with addition and subtraction of fractions, developing understanding of the
multiplication of fractions, division of fractions extending division to 2-digit divisors, integrating decimal fractions into the
place value system, developing understanding of operations with decimals to hundredths, developing 12 fluency with
whole number and decimal operations; and developing understanding of volume as an attribute of three-dimensional
space. This course aligns with the South Carolina College and Career Ready Standards (SCCCR) for Mathematics and the
Mathematical Practice Standards.

Assessments/Grading:
Major Assignments (Tests/Projects/Essays) = 45%
Quizzes = 35%
Classwork and Homework = 20%
Please know that some assignments that are not quizzes may fall into the “Quizzes” category. These assignments require a
more significant amount of work and content understanding than classwork assignments but not to the level of a major
assignment. In these instances, the teacher will announce in advance that the assignment is weighted as a quiz and not a
classwork assignment.
