- teaching advice
- suggestions for further resources
- ideas for hands-on and active math
- discussion of this year's work with the 4 processes, measurement, fractions, decimals, number journeys and word problems
- guides to the use of the various Key To workbooks
- several reproducible blackline masters, timed drill sheets and pages of practice problems.
For how this 5th grade math book fits into the progress of math in the Christopherus Curriculum, see: The Christopherus Curriculum - Mathematics
Geometry is covered in the Fifth Grade Syllabus.
Notes regarding the workbooks
The metric system will be introduced to American children in our 6th grade mathematics curriculum. For now, US families should choose the non-metric version.
Those of you who did not use our materials last year (Fourth Grade Mathematics) need to determine whether you need Key To Measurement, Books 1 and 2 (US or Metric versions) and Key To Fractions, Books 1 and 2. (see below)
This year we also sell Answer Keys (see below). Some of you might be a bit rusty or need a quick way to correct your child's work. The Answer Keys overlap and some cover books we do not use this year. This is unfortunate but is how Key To designed them.
