How to help with this skill
Fifth graders strengthen work with whole numbers, fractions, decimals, percentages and mathematical expressions.
- Read the story once for meaning and again for quantities.
- Ask what is known and what is missing; draw a quick model.
- Write an equation, solve it, and label the answer with units.
Try this: Tell the story back without the numbers before solving it.
