NY Grade 5 Math study guide
NY Grade 5 Math · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
The Grade 5 Mathematics Test is part of New York State's Grades 3–8 testing program, administered by the New York State Education Department's Office of State Assessment. It is taken by fifth-grade students in New York public schools, including students in charter and other state-funded settings, and results are used by schools and families to gauge whether a student has met the grade-level learning standards in mathematics. The NY Grade 5 Math study guide has 5 sections and about 1,952 words.
01Operations and Algebraic Thinking: Expressions, Grouping Symbols, and Patterns
Operations and Algebraic Thinking in Grade 5 asks you to evaluate expressions that contain parentheses, brackets, and braces; to translate a written calculation into an expression; and to generate and compare two numerical patterns. Work is limited to the four operations - exponents belong to Grade 6.

Number and Operations in Base Ten in Grade 5 covers place value through thousandths, powers of ten, multi-digit whole-number computation, and the four operations with decimals to hundredths. Each place is 10 times the place to its right and one-tenth of the place to its left: 0.1 = 1/10, 0.01 = 1/100, 0.001 = 1/1000.

Number and Operations-Fractions in Grade 5 extends to unlike denominators, multiplication and division involving fractions, and multiplication as scaling. A fraction a/b means a ÷ b, so 3 ÷ 4 = 3/4 and 7/4 = 1 3/4.
393 words, about 2 min04Measurement and Data: Unit Conversion, Line Plots, and Volume
Measurement and Data in Grade 5 tests unit conversion within a measurement system, line plots with fractional data, and volume of right rectangular prisms, including composite solids. Within a system, multiply when converting a larger unit to a smaller unit and divide when converting a smaller unit to a larger one.
417 words, about 2 min05Geometry: Coordinate Plane and Classifying Two-Dimensional Figures
Geometry in Grade 5 covers graphing and interpreting points in the first quadrant of the coordinate plane and classifying two-dimensional figures in a hierarchy based on properties. The x-axis runs horizontally, the y-axis vertically, and they meet at the origin (0, 0).
