Practise specific Decimals skills
What Your Child Will Learn
In Grade 5, students extend decimal place value to thousandths and become fluent with all four decimal operations. They add and subtract decimals with different numbers of decimal places, lining up place value carefully, and begin multiplying decimals by whole numbers.
Students also deepen their understanding of the relationship between decimals, fractions, and percents, recognizing that 0.5, 1/2, and 50% all represent the same quantity. Rounding decimals to a given place value is practised alongside estimation strategies. Word problems increasingly involve decimals in measurement, money, and data contexts, requiring students to select the correct operation.
Skills Covered
- Reading and writing decimals to thousandths
- Adding and subtracting decimals with varying decimal places
- Multiplying decimals by whole numbers
- Rounding decimals to a given place value
- Converting between decimals, fractions, and percents
- Solving word problems involving decimal measurements and money
Curriculum Aligned: Aligned with Strand B (Number): operating with decimal numbers to thousandths and connecting them to fractions and percents.
Parent Tip: Practise rounding with real receipts or flyers — 'Is $4.87 closer to $4.80 or $4.90?' This builds estimation skills that carry into every future math course.
What your child will practice
- Fractions, Decimals, PercentagesRepresent fractions, decimal numbers, and percents, and show their relationships.
- Decimal HundredthsRead, represent, compare, and order decimal hundredths.
- Operations with DecimalsAdd, subtract, and multiply decimal numbers to hundredths.
