Term 1 Learning Outcomes
Grade 5
It is expected that students will:
Math
Big Ideas:
*We use patterns to represent identified regularities and form generalizations: Number patterns can be expressed using variables in tables.
*Developing computational fluency comes from a strong sense of number:
Flexibility in working with numbers extends to operations with larger (multi-digit) numbers.
Concepts and Content:
- Number concepts to 1 000 000
- addition and subtraction to 1 000 000
- addition and subtraction facts to 20 (extending computational fluency)
- multiplication and division to three digits, including division with remainders
- multiplication and division facts to 100 (emerging computational fluency)
- rules for increasing and decreasing patterns with words, numbers, symbols, and variables
- one-step equations with variables
Science
Big Ideas:
*Machines are devices that transfer force and energy.
*Solutions are homogeneous mixtures
Concepts and Content:
- properties of simple machines and their force effects
- machines: constructed and found in nature
- power – the rate at which energy is transformed
- solutions and solubility
Physical Education
Big Idea:
*Daily physical activity enables us to practice skillful movement and helps us develop personal fitness
Concepts and Content:
- proper technique for fundamental movement skills, including non-locomotor, locomotor, and manipulative skills
- movement concepts and strategies
- ways to monitor physical exertion levels
- how to participate in different types of physical activities, including individual and dual activities, rhythmic activities, and games
French
Big Ideas:
*Listening and viewing with intent helps us acquire French.
