Advanced operations, measurement, and data analysis for fifth grade students.
Fractions and decimals help us describe pieces of things, like slices of cake or parts of a dollar.
To add or subtract fractions, make sure the bottom numbers (denominators) are the same. If they aren’t, find a common denominator.
Multiply across the top and bottom for multiplication. For division, flip the second fraction and multiply!
Decimals are another way to show parts of a whole, especially with money or measurements. Line up the decimal points when adding or subtracting.
Add 2/5 + 1/5 to find out how much pizza is left.
Multiply 0.4 × 0.5 to figure out how much of a liter you have.
Use fractions and decimals to describe and solve problems about parts of a whole.
