Grade 5 Mathematics

The Ontario Grade 5 Mathematics course has six strands: social-emotional learning skills, Number, Algebra, Data, Spatial Sense and Financial Literacy. The museum maps a few expectations in four strands, through the history of numerals, algebra, mensuration and early Islamic law and economics; most expectations are in the gap register.

Strand B: Number

Strand B of the Grade 5 mathematics course (overall expectations B1 and B2). The museum maps two expectations here: whole numbers and decimals, through the history of the Indian numerals.

  1. Numbers that take their value from their place How whole numbers are read and composed by place, and how decimal numbers continue place value below one (B1.1, B1.5). Invention × 2

Strand C: Algebra

Strand C of the Grade 5 mathematics course (overall expectations C1 to C4). The museum maps equations, through the history of algebra.

  1. Finding the unknown What an equation says about an unknown number, and how an unknown is found and checked (C2.1, C2.3). Invention

Strand E: Spatial Sense

Strand E of the Grade 5 mathematics course (overall expectations E1 and E2). The museum maps triangles and their area through a chapter on measuring in al-Khwarizmi's algebra.

  1. Kinds of triangle and their area The kinds of triangle and how the area of a triangle relates to its base and height (E1.1, E2.5). Invention

Strand F: Financial Literacy
