MI 5th Grade Math Curriculum
Give your child the support they need to keep up with Michigan's 5th grade math curriculum. Lessons and practice problems cover every strand taught in class, from fractions to volume.
About 5th Grade Michigan math
Michigan follows the Michigan K-12 Standards for mathematics, which organize learning around Operations and Algebraic Thinking, Number and Operations in Base Ten, Number and Operations - Fractions, Measurement and Data, and Geometry. In 5th grade, students work with numerical expressions, multi-digit multiplication and division, decimal operations, adding and subtracting fractions with unlike denominators, multiplying and dividing fractions, volume, coordinate planes, and classifying two-dimensional figures. StudyPug provides video lessons and practice problems aligned to every one of these strands.

Michigan 5th Grade Math Topics
- Operations and Algebraic Thinking: Writing and evaluating numerical expressions with parentheses, brackets, and braces; generating number patterns using two rules and graphing ordered pairs on a coordinate plane.
- Number and Operations in Base Ten: Place value relationships across multi-digit numbers, powers of 10 and decimal placement, reading and comparing decimals to thousandths, rounding decimals, multiplying multi-digit whole numbers, and dividing four-digit dividends by two-digit divisors.
- Number and Operations - Fractions: Adding and subtracting fractions with unlike denominators, solving fraction word problems, interpreting fractions as division, multiplying fractions and mixed numbers, interpreting multiplication as scaling, and dividing unit fractions by whole numbers and whole numbers by unit fractions.
- Measurement and Data: Converting measurement units within a system, creating line plots with fractional measurements, and understanding and calculating volume using unit cubes and the relationship between multiplication and volume.
- Geometry: Defining a coordinate system using perpendicular axes, graphing and interpreting points in the first quadrant, understanding attribute hierarchies of two-dimensional figures, and classifying shapes based on their properties.
