The 5th grade Standards

Why Standards?

The standards are used to ensure that you are taught in a way that you can be ready for college, and having a job and lifestyle that satisfies you as a person.   Imagine if teachers could just teach what they liked, or felt like for the day.  You may have the same thing taught to you over and over.  Or, possibly worse, you may never be taught about really important topics because no one thought to teach it, or maybe it wasn't a fun topic to talk about.  With standards, everyone is on the same page, and you are expected to acquire certain knowledge in each grade.  This knowledge can then be built upon.  Imagine trying to learn how to divide fractions if you never learned what a fraction was, or how to divide.  The standards help us teachers and you students to get the best education you possibly can.

THE

COMMON CORE

STATE STANDARDS


​Excerpts from the Common Core State Standards website:
The standards were drafted by experts and teachers from across the country and are designed to ensure students are prepared for today’s entry-level careers, freshman-level college courses, and workforce training programs. The Common Core focuses on developing the critical-thinking, problem-solving, and analytical skills students will need to be successful. Forty-two states, the District of Columbia, four territories, and the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) have voluntarily adopted and are moving forward with the standards.
The Common Core is a set of high-quality academic standards in mathematics and English language arts/literacy (ELA). These learning goals outline what a student should know and be able to do at the end of each grade. The standards were created to ensure that all students graduate from high school with the skills and knowledge necessary to succeed in college, career, and life, regardless of where they live. Forty-two states, the District of Columbia, four territories, and the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) have voluntarily adopted and are moving forward with the Common Core.
