Narrative for the (G) Geometry

By the end of Grade 5, competencies in shape composition and decomposition, and especially the special case of spatial structuring of rectangular arrays should be highly developed. Students need to develop these competencies because they form a foundation for understanding multiplication, area, volume, and the coordinate plane.

Students extend their spatial structuring in two ways. They learn to spatially structure in three dimensions; for example, they can decompose a right rectangular prism built from cubes into layers, seeing each layer as an array of cubes. They use this understanding to find the volumes of right rectangular prisms with edges whose lengths are whole numbers as the number of unit cubes that pack the prisms.  Second, students extend their knowledge of the coordinate plane, understanding the continuous nature of two-dimensional space and the role of fractions in specifying locations in that space.

Students in Grade 5 learn to analyze and relate categories of two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes explicitly based on their properties. Based on analysis of properties, they classify two-dimensional figures in hierarchies.

Students also solve mathematical and real-world problems using coordinates. They graph connect ordered pairs of (whole number) coordinates to points on a grid, so that these coordinate pairs constitute numerical objects.  Students then interpret the results within the context of situation.

Calculation Method for Domains

Domains are larger groups of related standards. The Domain Grade is a calculation of all the related standards. Click on the standard name below each Domain to access the learning targets and rubrics/ proficiency scales for individual standards within the domain.

MAT-05.G.01

Under Development

MAT-05 Targeted Standards
(G) Domain: Geometry
Cluster: Graph points on the coordinate place to solve real­world and mathematical problems.

MAT-05.G.01 Use a pair of perpendicular number lines, called axes, to define a coordinate system, with the intersection of the lines (the origin) arranged to coincide with the 0 on each line and a given point in the plane located by using an ordered pair of numbers, called its coordinates. Understand that the first number indicates how far to travel from the origin in the direction of one axis, and the second number indicates how far to travel in the direction of the second axis, with the convention that the names of the two axes and the coordinates correspond (e.g., x-axis and x-coordinate, y-axis and y-coordinate).

MAT-05.G.02

BPSS-MAT logo 5th Grade (MAT) Targeted Standard
(G) Geometry
Cluster: Graph points on the coordinate place to solve real­world and mathematical problems.

MAT-05.G.02 Represent real world and mathematical problems by graphing points in the first quadrant of the coordinate plane. Interpret coordinate values of points in the context of the situation.

MAT-05.G.03

Under Development

MAT-05 Targeted Standards
(G) Domain: Geometry
Cluster: Classify two­dimensional figures into categories based on their properties.

MAT-05.G.03 Understand that attributes belonging to a category of two-dimensional figures also belong to all subcategories of that category. For example, all rectangles have four right angles and squares are rectangles, so all squares have four right angles.
