What Is Taught In Second Grade Math?
Your second grader will learn the meaning of place value in whole numbers up to three digits. Second graders solve word problems involving addition and subtraction of whole numbers within twenty. They will learn the concept of odd and even numbers.
The foundations of multiplication are introduced by adding groups with an equal number of objects. The multiplication facts for the “twos”, “fives”, “tens” and "hundreds" are introduced by skip counting within 1,000. Your second grader will learn how to write numbers in expanded form, compare numbers using the inequality and equal symbols (<, >, =), and add and subtract numbers withing one thousand.
Students will estimate, calculate, and solve problems involving addition and subtraction of two- and three-digit numbers. This includes working with money and measurements of length. Your second grader will learn how to generate and interpret data by measuring length. Students in the second grade draw bar graphs and line graphs to represent their data.
Second graders learn how to identify triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons and cubes, and they will divide rectangles and circles into two, three or four equal partitions which they will describe using halves, thirds and fourths.
What Is Taught In Third Grade Math?
In the third grade the multiplication tables are extended through twelve. Your third grader will be expected to understand the place value of whole numbers. Third grade students will also be expected to understand the relationship between whole numbers, simple fractions, and decimals. Algebra concepts will be introduced.
What Is Taught In Fourth Grade Math?
Now in the fourth grade, students are expected to know their multiplication tables through the tens (ideally through twelve). Students in the fourth grade go on to learn that division is the inverse operation to multiplication, that is, division “undoes” multiplication. Success in division requires students to be competent with multiplication. Your fourth grader will learn about decimals to two decimal places, and s/he will understand how whole numbers and decimals relate to simple fractions. A large part of fourth grade Math involves work with fractions and mixed numbers: adding, subtracting and ordering. The concepts of negative numbers is introduced, along with adding and subtracting decimals. Problem solving that involves addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of whole numbers continues in the fourth grade. Fourth graders learn how to factor small whole numbers. Some important Algebra concepts begin to be developed.
What Is Taught In Fifth Grade Math?
Your fifth grader should begin the year proficient with the multiplication tables through twelve. Place value and rounding, down to the thousandths place, are taught in the fifth grade, and your fifth grader will add, subtract, multiply and divide multi-digit whole numbers as well as decimals to the hundredths place. Percents are introduced in the fifth grade along with the relationship between decimals, fractions, and percents.
A large focus of fifth grade math is on fractions, and by the end of the school year your fifth grader will have been taught nearly all there is to know about working with fractions and mixed numbers. Division of fractions is limited to dividing unit fractions by whole numbers and vice versa.
In addition, your fifth grader will begin to learn how to use parentheses in math expressions, convert between units within the same system, figure out the volume of simple solids, and how to represent and interpret data from real world situations.
