Fifth Grade

Fifth grade deepens learners’ mastery across subjects as they take on more complex thinking and greater independence.

Learners apply their academic skills in increasingly sophisticated ways including solving real-world problems, leading collaborative projects, and synthesizing information. With a focus on independence and readiness, students are well-prepared for the transition to middle school and future academic challenges.

Below you’ll find documents that outline the key units taught throughout the school year in fifth grade. These overviews provide a high-level snapshot of the instructional sequence for each grade level. Each unit, module, or topic is linked to a more detailed unit plan, which includes the standards, essential content, and instructional focus. While the site is accessible to all stakeholders, some linked resources, such as assessments or copyrighted instructional materials, may only be accessible to staff.
