5.OA.A.1

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

5.OA.A.2

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

5.OA.B.3

Generate two numerical patterns using two given rules. Identify apparent relationships between corresponding terms. Form ordered pairs consisting of corresponding terms from the two patterns, and graph the ordered pairs on a coordinate plane.

5.NBT.A.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.

5.NBT.A.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.

5.NBT.A.3

Read, write, and compare decimals to thousandths.

5.NBT.A.4

Use place value understanding to round decimals to any place.

5.NBT.B.5

Fluently multiply multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm.

5.NBT.B.6

Find whole-number quotients of whole numbers with up to four-digit dividends and two-digit divisors, using strategies based on place value, the properties of operations, and/or the relationship between multiplication and division.

5.NBT.B.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.

5.NF.A.1

Add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators (including mixed numbers) by replacing given fractions with equivalent fractions in such a way as to produce an equivalent sum or difference of fractions with like denominators.

5.NF.A.2

Solve word problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions referring to the same whole, including cases of unlike denominators.

5.NF.B.3

Interpret a fraction as division of the numerator by the denominator (a/b = a ÷ b).

5.NF.B.4

Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication to multiply a fraction or whole number by a fraction.

5.NF.B.6

Solve real world problems involving multiplication of fractions and mixed numbers.

5.NF.B.7

Apply and extend previous understandings of division to divide unit fractions by whole numbers and whole numbers by unit fractions.

5.MD.3

Recognize volume as an attribute of solid figures and understand concepts of volume measurement.

5.G.1

Use a pair of perpendicular number lines, called axes, to define a coordinate system.

5.G.2

Represent real world and mathematical problems by graphing points in the first quadrant of the coordinate plane, and interpret coordinate values of points in the context of the situation.

Alabama 5th Grade Math: What Students Learn This Year

5th grade is a big year for math in Alabama. Students move beyond basic operations and start working with more complex ideas like multiplying fractions, dividing unit fractions by whole numbers, and understanding volume as a measurable attribute of 3D figures. These skills are all part of the Alabama Course of Study Math for Grade 5.

Key Topics in Alabama 5th Grade Math

  • Fractions: Adding and subtracting fractions with unlike denominators, multiplying fractions and mixed numbers, and dividing unit fractions by whole numbers.
  • Decimals: Reading, writing, comparing, and rounding decimals to thousandths. Adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing decimals to hundredths.
  • Place Value and Powers of 10: Understanding how digits shift in value by place, and how multiplying or dividing by powers of 10 affects decimal placement.
  • Algebraic Thinking: Writing and evaluating numerical expressions using parentheses, brackets, and braces. Generating and graphing number patterns.
  • Measurement and Volume: Converting measurement units and solving real-world volume problems using multiplication and addition.
  • Coordinate Plane: Plotting and interpreting points in the first quadrant of a coordinate plane.
  • Geometry: Classifying 2D figures based on their properties and understanding category hierarchies.

How StudyPug Helps Alabama 5th Grade Students

StudyPug covers every topic in the Alabama Course of Study Math for 5th grade. Each topic includes a short video lesson — usually 5 to 15 minutes — followed by practice problems with step-by-step explanations. Students can pause, rewind, and replay as often as they need.

Whether your child is stuck on a homework problem or preparing for the ACAP assessment, StudyPug gives them a clear, easy-to-follow lesson for every standard. No confusion, no skipped steps.

Preparing for the ACAP in Alabama

Alabama 5th graders take the ACAP (Alabama Comprehensive Assessment Program) math test. StudyPug's content is aligned to the Alabama Course of Study Math, which means every tested topic is covered. Students can use StudyPug throughout the year to stay on track and review before test time.
