5th – Mathematics

The Grade 5 mathematics curriculum in Ontario focuses on deepening skills in numeracy, geometry, measurement, data, and problem-solving. Students explore advanced concepts in multiplication, division, fractions, and decimals, while learning to perform operations with larger numbers. They also develop their understanding of geometric concepts, including angles, symmetries, properties of polygons, and geometric transformations. In measurement, students learn to measure lengths, masses, capacities, and temperatures with a wider variety of units. The program also emphasizes data analysis using graphs, tables, and charts, and encourages students to use problem-solving strategies to apply their mathematical skills in practical situations.
