Math 5

$865

Curriculum

Math 5 will focus on increasing math fact fluency and mastering the mathematical skills needed to be successful in pre-Algebra. The curriculum follows a spiral format, so most of the topics will be studied throughout grades 4-7 with increasing difficulty and complexity.

Each at-home lesson will be taught in class and the quiz and test lessons will also be administered during class. Students should be able to complete the at-home lessons with little or no parental help. Parents will need to time and grade the one minute timed drills and help with flash cards; these tasks could be done with a sibling. If the students are unable to complete the at-home lessons in the predicted timeframe, then they are possibly not ready for the class.

Math 5 covers:

Data and Percent
Division
Fractions
Geometry
Decimal Computation and Concepts
Rounding and Estimation
Numbers
Ratios and Proportions
Algebra

Home Studies

We will complete four to five lessons per week, and each lesson should take a maximum of 50 minutes.
Regular progress reports will be sent to parents.

Prerequisites

Students should be able to compute math facts in addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division at a rate of 30-40 per minute.
Students must pass the Math 4 exit exam to be administered in the spring/summer by the Schola staff.
