Wyoming 5th grade math standards

Every 5th grade math standard in the Wyoming Content and Performance Standards: Mathematics, in Wyoming's order, with the Lux lessons that teach it.

Operations and Algebraic Thinking

  1. 5.OA.1

    Use parentheses, brackets, or braces in numerical expressions, and evaluate expressions with these symbols.

    Taught inOrder of operationsLeft to right, not M before D
  2. 5.OA.2

    Write simple expressions requiring parentheses that record calculations with numbers, and interpret numerical expressions without evaluating them.

    Taught inWords to expressionsTimes the sum, or plus it?

Number and Operations in Base Ten

  1. 5.NBT.1

    Recognize that in a multi-digit number, a digit in one place represents 10 times as much as it represents in the place to its right and 1/10 of what it represents in the place to its left.

    Taught inTen times, one tenth
  2. 5.NBT.2

    Explain patterns in the number of zeros of the product when multiplying a number by powers of 10, and explain patterns in the placement of the decimal point when a decimal is multiplied or divided by a power of 10. Use whole number exponents to denote powers of 10.

    Taught inTimes 0.1 and 0.01Dividing by 0.1 and 0.01A tenth of it, not ten timesThe point stays put
  3. 5.NBT.7

    Add, subtract, multiply, and divide decimals to hundredths using concrete models or drawings, and strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction; Relate the strategy to a written method and explain the reasoning used.

    Taught inDecimals from facts you knowTenths times tenths on a gridEstimating decimal answersWhere the point landsand 8 more

Number and Operations—Fractions

  1. 5.NF.2

    Solve word problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions referring to the same whole, including cases of unlike denominators, e.g., by using visual fraction models or equations to represent the problem. Use benchmark fractions and number sense of fractions to estimate mentally and assess the reasonableness of answers.

    Taught inFraction stories, add and subtractA third of it, or a third of a yard?
  2. 5.NF.3

    Interpret a fraction as division of the numerator by the denominator (a/b = a ÷ b). Solve word problems involving division of whole numbers leading to answers in the form of fractions or mixed numbers by using visual fraction models or equations to represent the problem.

    Taught inA fraction is a divisionMore than one eachThe smaller number can go firstThe bar means divideand 2 more
  3. 5.NF.6

    Solve real-world problems involving multiplication of fractions and mixed numbers by using visual fraction models or equations to represent the problem.

    Taught inA third of it, or a third of a yard?
  4. 5.NF.7a

    Interpret division of a unit fraction by a non-zero whole number and compute the quotient.

    Taught inSharing a unit fractionHow many pieces fit?Dividing can make more
  5. 5.NF.7b

    Interpret division of a whole number by a unit fraction and compute the quotient.

  6. 5.NF.7c

    Solve real-world problems involving division of unit fractions by non-zero whole numbers and division of whole numbers by unit fractions by using visual fraction models and equations to represent the problem.

    Taught inFraction division stories
  7. 5.NFP.7.A

    Interpret division of a unit fraction by a non-zero whole number and compute the quotient.

    Taught inSharing a unit fractionHow many pieces fit?Dividing can make more
  8. 5.NFP.7.B

    Interpret division of a whole number by a unit fraction and compute the quotient.

    Taught inSharing a unit fractionHow many pieces fit?Dividing can make more
  9. 5.NFP.7.C

    Solve real-world problems involving division of unit fractions by non-zero whole numbers and division of whole numbers by unit fractions by using visual fraction models and equations to represent the problem.

    Taught inFraction division stories

  2. 5.MD.5b

    Find volumes of right rectangular prisms with whole-number edge lengths in the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems given the formulas V=(l)(w)(h) and V=(B)(h) for rectangular prisms.

    Taught inVolume by formulaThe base is an areaFind the missing edgeTwo boxes put together
