Math 5 is split into 4 different units. Click on each link below to find out more!
Number Sense
Number sense develops when students connect numbers to their own real-life experiences. Number sense can be developed by providing rich mathematical tasks that allow students to make connections to their own experiences and their previous learning.
Shape and Space
Spatial sense involves visualization, mental imagery and spatial reasoning. These skills are central to the understanding of mathematics. Spatial sense is developed through a variety of experiences and interactions within the environment. The development of spatial sense enables students to solve problems involving 3-D objects and 2-D shapes and to interpret and reflect on the physical environment and its 3-D or 2-D representations.
Patterns and Relations
Working with patterns enables students to make connections within and beyond mathematics. As part of the study of mathematics, students look for relationships among numbers, sets, shapes, objects and concepts. The search for possible relationships involves collecting and analyzing data and describing relationships visually, symbolically, orally or in written form.
Statistics and Probability
In mathematics, interpretations of data and the predictions made from data may lack certainty. Events and experiments generate statistical data that can be used to make predictions. Chance addresses the predictability of the occurrence of an outcome. As students develop their understanding of probability, the language of mathematics becomes more specific and describes the degree of uncertainty more accurately.
