Georgia Milestones Math Grade 5 study plan

Convert between decimals and fractions with denominators of 10, 100, and 1000, writing 0.7 as 7/10 and 0.35 as 35/100 without prompting.

Read, write, and compare decimals to the thousandths place using <, >, and = symbols, justifying each comparison with place-value reasoning.

Round decimals to any given place value and explain how the digit to the right determines the rounding decision.

Add and subtract decimals to the hundredths place fluently, aligning decimal points and regrouping across whole-number boundaries.

Set up and solve two-step decimal word problems involving money and measurement, showing the intermediate value for each step.

Multiply multi-digit whole numbers up to four digits by two digits using the standard algorithm, tracking partial products accurately.

Divide four-digit dividends by two-digit divisors, interpreting remainders in context and expressing them as fractions or decimals.

Multiply and divide decimals to the hundredths place by whole numbers, placing the decimal point using estimation to check reasonableness.

Solve multi-step whole-number and decimal word problems, selecting the correct operation sequence and representing the unknown with a letter.

Estimate products and quotients before computing, then compare the estimate to the exact answer to catch placement errors.

Add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators by finding a common denominator, including cases requiring only one denominator to change.

Solve mixed-number addition and subtraction problems with regrouping, converting between mixed numbers and improper fractions as needed.

Multiply a fraction or whole number by a fraction, using area models and number-line representations to justify the product's size.

Divide unit fractions by whole numbers and whole numbers by unit fractions, interpreting each quotient in a real-world context.

Solve fraction word problems involving more than one operation and judge the reasonableness of the answer against benchmark fractions.

Evaluate numerical expressions containing parentheses, brackets, and braces, applying order of operations correctly from innermost grouping outward.

Write a numerical expression to match a spoken or written description, and interpret an expression without evaluating it.

Generate two numerical patterns from given rules, graph the ordered pairs on a coordinate plane, and describe the relationship between corresponding terms.

Plot and identify points in the first quadrant of a coordinate plane, naming coordinates correctly and interpreting axes in context.

Classify two-dimensional figures into a hierarchy based on shared attributes, explaining why a square is a rectangle but a rectangle is not necessarily a square.

Convert among standard units within a measurement system (km, m, cm; kg, g; L, mL; hr, min, sec) by multiplying or dividing by the correct power of ten or conversion factor.

Solve multi-step measurement conversion problems involving whole numbers, decimals, and fractions, and record answers in a designated unit.

Compute the volume of right rectangular prisms using the formulas V = l × w × h and V = B × h, including prisms built from unit cubes.

Find the volume of composite solid figures by decomposing them into non-overlapping rectangular prisms and summing the parts.

Apply the volume formulas to solve real-world problems involving packing, filling, and capacity, distinguishing volume from surface area.

Identify and graph points in the first quadrant, then use coordinates to find horizontal and vertical distances between points sharing an x- or y-coordinate.

Represent real-world and mathematical patterns as ordered pairs, graph them, and state the rule connecting the two quantities in words and as an equation.

Solve problems involving line plots with fractional data, redistributing values to find a fair share or a missing data point.

Interpret and compare data displays, calculating the mean of a small data set and using it to describe the center of the data.

Distinguish between categorical and numerical data and choose an appropriate display for each type.

Work through a full-length mixed practice test under timed conditions, pacing roughly one minute per item and flagging uncertain answers rather than leaving blanks.

Categorize every missed item by skill strand (decimal operations, fraction operations, expressions, geometry, measurement, data) to reveal remaining gaps.

Re-solve each missed item from scratch without looking at the original work, then write a one-sentence explanation of the correct reasoning.

Practice constructed-response items by showing work line by line, labeling units, and writing a complete final sentence that answers the question asked.

Apply elimination and estimation strategies on multiple-choice items to verify answers before committing.

Re-drill the two weakest skill strands identified in the error log until each reaches 90% accuracy on a fresh set of ten items.

Complete a second timed practice test and compare the score and error pattern against week 7 to confirm improvement.

Review formula and procedure recall for volume, unit conversion, fraction division, and order of operations without reference materials.

Practice time management by completing the final 10 items of a practice set in 10 minutes with no skipped questions.

Build a one-page personal summary sheet of the five most error-prone procedures, written in your own words.
