MATH:  In 5th grade, we the Think Math! curriculum written by EDC and published by Harcourt. This curriculum meets the standards as set out by the NCTM for teaching mathematics and was based on recent research. It connects problem solving, skill building, and concept development. Think Math! builds students' conceptual and procedural understanding in the five content areas of the Massachusetts State standards. Topics we will be covering this year include further developing number sense and algebraic thinking, factors and multiples, multiplication and division, fractions, decimals, percents, geometry, probability, graphing and measurement. Vocabulary, problem solving, review work, skill building, and computation are regular elements of our math program.

Here is the [|THINK MATH]! website that contains games and activities that supplement the curriculum.
