Math

=Mrs. Hileman (ext. 2420)=

Some of the areas of concentration in the fifth grade math curriculum include addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of whole numbers, decimals, and fractions. We will also be learning about geometry and probability. Due to the number of new concepts that your child will be learning this year, it is imperative that basic math facts can be solved quickly. Basic math fact knowledge will take much of the stress out of multiplication of large numbers, long division, and finding the "lowest common denominator" and "least common multiples." Please encourage your child to master the basic math facts as it will allow him or her to fully concentrate on new concepts. I look forward to being a part of your child's education! I am anticipating a pleasant and successful school year.
