Advanced Math (5)

5th grade advanced math is designed to help students bridge from the concrete number-oriented mathematics in lower school to the abstract, symbol-centered math in middle school. Some of the topics covered are: problem solving, fractions, decimals, geometry, and pre-algebra. Enrichment labs and chapter projects offer the advanced student the opportunity to enrich the depth of their critical thinking skills, along with presenting even more opportunities to understand abstract concepts on a more concrete level. Relevant, real-life applications are a part of every lesson, designed to make learning fun and engaging while answering the question, “When am I ever going to use this?"

Departmental recommendation required to take 5th grade advanced math. Placement into 6th grade math courses is through departmental recommendation.
