Using this app gives your child the chance to choose from a number of different study tools that serve different functions. By having your child answer the Question of the Day every day, they are given a new problem to solve that can help them understand a diverse range of topics covered in 5th-grade math. Not only is this a good way to introduce a new study session, but it can also provide a quick review at a moment’s notice.
If you are worried that your child doesn’t have a strong understanding of a specific portion of the curriculum, or you simply want to help them review the material, try accessing the Learn by Concept feature on your app. This acts as an interactive syllabus that presents the curriculum in clickable chapters. When viewing one of these chapters, your child will get an explanation of the material related to the subject they chose. Think of it as a textbook for your mobile device. Your child can also review through accessing a wide range of flashcards, which is excellent for drilling and reviewing information that has already been taught. These flashcards cover a range of topics, like geometry, measurement and data, and operations and algebraic thinking.
If you feel that your student has reviewed adequately, you are welcome to assess their knowledge through various practice tests. There are many different topic-specific practice tests that are geared towards different parts of the subject and are perfect for testing or reviewing knowledge of a specific area. Additionally, they are also short in length and are great for studying quickly. The Full-Length Practice Tests, on the other hand, are comprehensive and much longer. These practice tests evaluate your child’s knowledge on the subject as a whole, and they are excellent for preparing them for an upcoming exam. Both types of subject tests give you the opportunity to check your answer, read detailed notes on how each answer was reached, and review valuable statistics about your student’s performance.

In the fifth grade, your child will be learning a great deal of information in their Common Core math class. In the previous years, he or she spent his or her learning time developing skills in the four operations, working with fractions, and developing an understanding of basic geometry. These early skills are meant to lay the foundation for your child’s later math classes, just as fifth-grade math will do for future courses. During the fifth grade, your child will be gaining fluency in manipulating fractions with multiplication, division, addition, and fractions. Further, they will begin dividing double-digit numbers and decimals, as well as delving deeper into the concept of volume.
At the end of the year, your child will be required to take a cumulative exam that tasks them with applying their knowledge to multiple-choice, short response, and extended response questions. In order to excel on the exam, your child must have a fluency with calculations, estimation, and reason that they can apply to fractions. It is important he or she understands the reasoning behind division procedures with decimals and numerals, as well as the properties of operations. In addition, your child will need to be able to recognize three-dimensional space in relation to volume to solve real-world problems. All of these topics are covered in the Common Core Grade 5 Math app from Varsity Tutors, available for free download for iPhones, iPads, and Android devices.
During the school year, Common Core math in the 5th grade covers an expanse of concepts. Your child will need to master each one in order to do well later on. He or she will learn to express numerical equations from written word. They will write expressions, and must be able to evaluate the meaning. Your child’s teacher can help your child to apply various rules to his or her ability to analyze relationships and patterns. They may be tasked to generate terms based on a sequence and rule, or they may need to explain the reasoning for the results.
As your child progresses, they will begin working with the place value system. It is imperative that they have a firm understanding of the value of each place in a number. In the fifth grade, your child is learning to explain patterns caused by multiplication or division, the basics of exponents, and powers of 10. They will need to be able to write and compare decimals up to the thousandth place, as well as round them to any place in the system. Furthermore, your child will be tasked with solving operations that involve decimals and multi-digit whole numbers. They will need to be fluent in multiplying triple- or quadruple-digit numbers based on their previous education. They may need to use strategies they learned based on relationships, properties, place value, or models. In addition, your child will need to be able to solve various problems using decimals, models, illustrations, and other strategies. Aside from understanding it all, they will need to be able to provide a sound explanation for each response.
Fractions are just as important in Common Core math in 5th grade as it was in previous courses, continuing to expand in complexity. Your child will need to develop an understanding of the strategies used to add, subtract, multiply, and divide fractions. To do this, they will need to extend their understanding of the last two operations, while gaining new knowledge for the previous. Your child has to know how to transform fractions into equivalent fractions. Furthermore, they must be able to use visual models to illustrate the problem and make mental estimations. In order to gain a thorough understanding of division and multiplication as it can be applied to fractions, your child will have to solve word problems with equations or models. He or she will need to learn to find the area of a shape using tiles, use resizing to understand multiplication, and apply the concepts of multiplying fractions to the real world. Dividing fractions are just as important as multiplying them can be. Your child will need to be able to take his or her previous understanding of the procedure to apply it to fractions. Your fifth-grader will need to be able to define non-zero whole numbers that are divided by unit fractions, as well as vice versa. They must be able to solve them as they can be applied to real-world problems. With the Varity Tutors Common Core Grade 5 Math app, your child can practice these concepts and more, and all you need to do is visit iTunes or the Google Play Store to download it for free.
Measurements and forms of data cover vital sub-topics that are necessary for math, as well as science and other courses your child may delve into later on. He or she must be able to make conversions between measurements in the same measurement system. Your child’s teacher will have them apply this ability to real-world problems that require multiple steps. In addition, your child must be able to create a plot line that interprets the data in fractions, which will later be used to solve problems that pertain to the data set. He or she will be introduced to the concepts of using volume to measure shapes, which demands your child understand that volume is a feature of a solid figure. They will have to understand cubic units and unit cubes, using these to measure volume. Furthermore, he or she must be able to solve real-world volume problems using specific formulas and operations.
When your child begins to delve into geometry as the year progresses, he or she will need to work with coordinate planes to solve a variety of problem types. They will face off against problems that require him or her to identify intersection points, solve for coordinates, and define the system itself. Furthermore, your child will begin learning how to plot various types of graphs while providing his or her own explanation for their results. He or she will need to be able to identify two-dimensional figures based on categories that relate them to similar shapes, as well as classify them into a hierarchy in relation to these properties. A full, comprehensive review of every concept in the course is available for free with the Common Core Grade 5 Math app for iPhone, iPad, and Android devices.
In order to do well in Common Core math in grade 5, your child will need to get a firm understanding of these concepts. Each one is important for the future.
