"5th Grade Skills, for some students are the final of their elementary math journey. "
Depending on your school district, your child could officially be moving into middle school next year!
"Browse through this Skill List
and give your child the best foundation for higher math studies possible."
So, you're remembering the day they went into Kindergarten, the image of them heading into the class room with their new backpack and lunch box draping
their tiny little bodies. They were anxious then, but also full of excitment and so confident because you had prepared them properly. They could count to 10
and knew their ABC's. How things change! Or do they? Actually not at all. Your tiny little Kindergartner has most definately grown up, but the anxiety,
and excitement of Middle School is looming.
But is the confidence there? Have you prepared your 5th grader in all their math skills, as well as you had for
Kindergarten?
This list of skills is based on the 5th grade level expectatoins from Washington State OSPI
