What your child will practice
The workbook has 8 tip sheets, one for each big 5th grade topic. Every question on the daily pages shows the number of the tip sheet that explains it, so your child always knows where to look.
- Tip 1: Adding, subtracting and rounding decimalsLine up the decimal points. Fill empty places with zeros, then add or subtract just like whole numbers and bring the point straight down.
- Tip 2: Multiplying and dividing decimalsMultiplying by 10, 100 or 1,000 moves every digit 1, 2 or 3 places to the left, so the number gets bigger. Dividing moves them to the right.
- Tip 3: Multiplying and dividing big numbersMultiply by each digit of the bottom number, then add the parts. To divide by a 2-digit number, estimate with friendly numbers, then check.
- Tip 4: Adding and subtracting fractionsYou can only add or subtract fractions with the same bottom number. Rename them with a common denominator first.
- Tip 5: Multiplying and dividing fractionsTo multiply fractions, multiply the tops and multiply the bottoms. The word 'of' means multiply.
- Tip 6: Order of operationsWork in this order: parentheses and brackets first, then multiply and divide from left to right, then add and subtract from left to right.
- Tip 7: Volume and unitsVolume is how many unit cubes fill a box: length × width × height. To change units, multiply for a smaller unit and divide for a bigger one.
- Tip 8: Solving word problemsRead the story twice, find the question, decide what to do, solve, then check that the answer makes sense.
