Interpret Fractions as Divisions
This number sense lesson focuses on showing common decimal numbers as percents. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students read the question and change the decimal number into a fraction with a denominator of 100 using a place value chart. Then, they change the fraction into a percent and interpret the result. In addition to the lesson, there are four pages of Independent Practice and Periodic Reviews with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.

Multiply Fractions
5.NF.4 Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication to multiply a fraction or whole number by a fraction.
5.NF.4.A5.NF.4.A Interpret the product (a/b) × q as a parts of a partition of q into b equal parts; equivalently, as the result of a sequence of operations a × q ÷ b. For example, use a visual fraction model to show (2/3) × 4 = 8/3, and create a story context for this equation. Do the same with (2/3) × (4/5) = 8/15. (In general, (a/b) × (c/d) = (ac)/(bd).
This lesson addresses fraction multiplication at the fluency level.

Divide Unit Fractions by Whole Numbers
(J) Represent division of a unit fraction by a whole number and the division of a whole number by a unit fraction such as 1/3 ÷ 7 and 7 ÷ 1/3 using objects and pictorial models, including area models
5.3.L(L) Divide whole numbers by unit fractions and unit fractions by whole numbers.
5.NF.7 Apply and extend previous understandings of division to divide unit fractions by whole numbers and whole numbers by unit fractions.
5.NF.7.A5.NF.7.A Interpret division of a unit fraction by a non-zero whole number, and compute such quotients. For example, create a story context for (1/3) ÷ 4, and use a visual fraction model to show the quotient. Use the relationship between multiplication and division to explain that (1/3) ÷ 4 = 1/12 because (1/12) × 4 = 1/3.
This lesson focuses on the fluency of dividing a unit fraction by a whole number. Although the purpose of the lesson is to teach the process, there are opportunities for students to conceptually examine, read, and write about the structure of a unit fraction being divided by a whole number.

Divide Whole Numbers by Unit Fractions
(J) Represent division of a unit fraction by a whole number and the division of a whole number by a unit fraction such as 1/3 ÷ 7 and 7 ÷ 1/3 using objects and pictorial models, including area models
5.3.L(L) Divide whole numbers by unit fractions and unit fractions by whole numbers.
5.NF.7 Apply and extend previous understandings of division to divide unit fractions by whole numbers and whole numbers by unit fractions.
5.NF.7.B5.NF.7.B Interpret division of a whole number by a unit fraction, and compute such quotients. For example, create a story context for 4 ÷ (1/5), and use a visual fraction model to show the quotient. Use the relationship between multiplication and division to explain that 4 ÷ (1/5) = 20 because 20 × (1/5) = 4.

Solve Multi-Step Word Problems Involving Measurement
(B) Convert measurements within the same measurement system, customary or metric, from a smaller unit into a larger unit or a larger unit into a smaller unit when given other equivalent measures represented in a table
4.8.C(C) Solve problems that deal with measurements of length, intervals of time, liquid volumes, mass, and money using addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division as appropriate.

Measure the Volume of Solid Figures
5.MD.3 Recognize volume as an attribute of solid figures and understand concepts of volume measurement.
5.MD.3.A5.MD.3.A A cube with side length 1 unit, called a "unit cube," is said to have "one cubic unit" of volume, and can be used to measure volume.
5.MD.3.B5.MD.3.B A solid figure which can be packed without gaps or overlaps using n unit cubes is said to have a volume of n cubic units.
5.MD.45.MD.4 Measure volumes by counting unit cubes, using cubic cm, cubic in, cubic ft, and improvised units.

Plot and Locate Points on a Coordinate Plane
(A) Describe the key attributes of the coordinate plane, including perpendicular number lines (axes) where the intersection (origin) of the two lines coincides with zero on each number line and the given point (0, 0); the x-coordinate, the first number in an ordered pair, indicates movement parallel to the x-axis starting at the origin; and the y-coordinate, the second number, indicates movement parallel to the y-axis starting at the origin
5.8.B(B) Describe the process for graphing ordered pairs of numbers in the first quadrant of the coordinate plane
(Y5) Use a grid reference system to describe locations. Describe routes using landmarks and directional language (ACMMG113)
ACMMG143(Y6) Introduce the Cartesian coordinate system using all four quadrants (ACMMG143)
ACMNA178(Y7) Given coordinates, plot points on the Cartesian plane, and find coordinates for a given point (ACMNA178)
This geometry lesson covers how to locate and plot an ordered pair on a coordinate plane. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students will learn how to determine the x-coordinate and the y-coordinate, and then identify the location on the grid.

Find the Length of a Horizontal Line Segment
This measurement and geometry lesson focuses on finding the length of a horizontal line segment. The lesson includes research-based strategies and questions that help prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students identify the x-coordinate in each ordered pair. Then, they find the length of the horizontal line segment by calculating the difference of the x-coordinates. Finally, they interpret their solution. In addition to the lesson, there are four pages of Independent Practice and review with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.

5th Grade Next Generation Science Standards Learning Objectives & Essential Tools
Standards are often confused with being Learning Objectives. Standards are the content and skills students need to know by the end of a school year. Learning Objectives are the content and skills students need to know by the end of a lesson. Our Next Generation Science Standards Learning Objectives & Essential Tools guides display teachable Learning Objectives alongside the standards for easy reference. Here on Educeri, the guide also links to relevant lessons right here on the site, making finding a lesson easy. As we add more lessons, we will be updating this guide, so check back regularly.
