Welcome to Curriculum Night Old Richmond Elementary Fifth Grade

Common Core • • • Adopted by 48 states Research and evidence based Aligned with both college and work expectations Rigorous Internationally benchmarked Intended to be a living work – as new and better evidence emerges, the standards will be revised

Math Goals now revolve around a deeper understanding of math concepts ²Learning multiple ways to solve problems ²Explaining and/or demonstrating how solutions are achieved ²Move beyond computation towards practical problem solving

8 Standards of Mathematical Practice 1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. 2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively. 3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. 4. Model with mathematics. 5. Use appropriate tools strategically. 6. Attend to precision. 7. Look for and make use of structure. 8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.

Math Curriculum • 1 st Quarter – Volume – Place value / decimals – Add / subtract / multiply decimals • 2 nd Quarter – Applications of multiplication with decimal conversion (measurement) – Classify 2 -Dimensional figures – Relate volume to multiplication – Applications of division with decimal conversions (measurement) • 3 rd Quarter – – • Seeing fractions as division Add and subtract unlike denominators Use ordered pairs Multiply fractions 4 th Quarter – – Divide with fractions Problem solving / decimals Represent data with fractions Problem solving / fractions

Reading • Balanced Literacy – 50 % fiction and 50 % Non-fiction • Move from multiple choice to constructed response questions – Higher level questions – Answers need to make references to the text • Increased text complexity in both reading and understanding level

Reading Framework • Read Aloud • Above grade level • Model fluency • Teacher Directed Reading • At grade level • Comprehension strategies • Flexible Grouping • At instructional level • Word Study • Vocabulary • Spelling patterns

Writing • More varied genres o Opinion o Narrative o Expository • Writing based on research o Authentic topics based on curriculum content • Shift to using the writing process o No more on demand prompts • Reflective writing o Integrating and making connections between core and content subjects

Science • 1 st Quarter – Ecosystems – Heredity • 2 nd Quarter – Weather and Climate – Energy: Conservation and Transfer • 3 rd Quarter – Matter: Property and change – Forces and Motion • 4 th Quarter – Structures and functions of Living Things – Family Life

Social Studies • 1 st Quarter – Exploration – Colonization • 2 nd Quarter – A New Nation – Financial Literacy • 3 rd Quarter – A Growing Nation • 4 th Quarter – A Nation Divided – Reconstruction
