Our math topics for 5th grade learners are designed to follow closely the Common Core standards for math for 5th grade pupils.
Here are the key components of the math curriculum for decimals for ages 10 to 11:
Understanding Decimal Place Value: Students develop an understanding of the place value system with decimals. They learn that decimals represent parts of a whole or a quantity and that each digit in a decimal has a specific place value.
Decimal Notation and Reading Decimals: Students learn to read, write, and represent decimals using decimal notation. They practice identifying the place value of digits and using decimal point notation correctly.
Comparing and Ordering Decimals: Students develop skills in comparing and ordering decimals. They use place value understanding to determine which decimal is greater or lesser. They may use number lines or visual models to support their understanding.
Rounding Decimals: Students learn to round decimals to a given place value. They practice rounding decimals to the nearest whole number, tenth, hundredth, or other specified place value. Rounding helps them estimate and make approximations in calculations.
Addition and Subtraction with Decimals: Students extend their understanding of addition and subtraction to decimals. They learn to align decimal points and add or subtract the corresponding place values. Emphasis is placed on understanding regrouping and the role of place value.
Multiplication and Division with Decimals: Students learn to multiply and divide decimals. They practice multiplying decimals by whole numbers and decimals by decimals. They also divide decimals by whole numbers. Understanding place value and the role of the decimal point is crucial in these operations.
Problem Solving: Decimals are applied to solve a variety of real-life and mathematical problems. Students analyze word problems, identify the relevant information, and determine the appropriate decimal operation to find solutions. They also practice explaining their reasoning and justifying their answers.
Estimation: Students develop their estimation skills and use them to check the reasonableness of their decimal calculations. They learn to make quick approximations and use mental calculations to estimate decimal sums, differences, products, and quotients.
The curriculum aims to foster a deep understanding of decimals, including place value, operations, comparisons, and problem-solving. By the age of 10 to 11, students are expected to have a solid foundation in decimals and be ready to apply their knowledge in more complex mathematical contexts.

A topic is selected at the beginning of a session at Free Math Games and will be remembered when you move between games or activities. The math for the topic is carefully constructed to match the elementary math level commonly taught in US schools. This means that you as an elementary pupil should see similar math problems to those you are seeing at school (if you are at school) for any particular subject. Please let us know if that is not the case.
See the help box below for instructions on choosing a topic here at Free Math Games.
UXO * Duck shoot * The frog flies * Pong * Cat and mouse * The beetle and the bee
Rock fall * Four in a row * Sow grow * Choose or lose * Mix and match
Click on the "1. Start" button in the top navigation bar - that brings you to this elementary level topic selection page. On the topic selection page you will see that the topics are divided up:
Since you are currently within the elementary section of Free Math Games you will see the elementary topics. The elementary grades will have loaded. Choose your grade. The broad categories available will load. Click on a category to see the available sub-categories and topics.
For example, if you choose fifth grade, then the category: "Fractions" you will be offered a choice of fraction sub-categories and topics suitable for Grade 5. Click on each sub-category to view the available topics.
When you click on the name of a topic, the topic will load into the lesson page (once a topic has loaded it will be available for all activities and will not have to be downloaded again) and the lesson start page will be displayed. You can choose to do the lesson or jump immediately to the games using that topic.
