Description

This Fifth Grade Math Place Value Unit is designed to be teacher and student-friendly with math lessons and activities that are fun, engaging, and easy to prep. Whether you are looking for a stand-alone curriculum or a supplement to your required school curriculum, this comprehensive unit has everything you need to teach fifth grade standards with ease.

Not all math curriculum is awful. Just sum. Ba-da-bum!

But when it is bad, it is very, very bad. And unfortunately, a lot of traditional math curriculum is very, very bad. It’s overly complex, too long, impossible to differentiate, difficult to manage, and, frankly, not much fun. It can be hard to wade through all the extras and find the most valuable parts of the lesson. You don’t have time to read dozens of pages in the teacher manual and there are way too many different pieces to prep. Ugh!

If that sounds like your math curriculum, you’re in luck. Because now you have an alternative that is very, very good. A math curriculum that you and your students will LOVE!

This Place Value Unit includes fun, engaging, and easy-to-prep lessons and hands-on activities. It is the perfect way to review essential math skills and get kids excited about math.


This resource is part of a money-saving bundle. Click HERE to see the full-year Fifth Grade Math Curriculum Bundle.


This comprehensive ready-to-teach unit comes with the lessons, practice pages, assessments, and tools you need to teach standards-based math skills. The instructional PowerPoint is your complete mini lesson–just project on the board and teach. Daily student activities are effective and engaging–just print and copy for each student. We’ve also included a list of frequently asked questions to address some common concerns and help you troubleshoot.

This Place Value Unit includes twenty days of lessons designed to teach whole number place values, powers of 10, exponents, decimal place values, comparing decimals, ordering decimals, rounding to the nearest whole and hundredth, and word problems. The At a Glance schedule helps you plan your lessons for the entire week. Each day includes an instructional PowerPoint and student activity. This low-prep unit will save you so much time!

What’s Included:

  • “At a Glance” calendar shows which lesson is being taught each day of the unit.
  • Vocabulary cards help deepen student understanding of academic language and models represented by the terms.
  • A pre-assessment lets you know what prior knowledge your students already have.
  • Anchor charts assist visual learners and provide a student reference throughout each unit.
  • Daily lesson plans and activities for small group instruction make lesson planning a breeze.
  • Suggestions for intervention and enrichment make differentiation easy.
  • Graphic organizers and interactive notebooks for scaffolding students in learning new math concepts.
  • Instructional PowerPoints ensure that daily mini lessons are interactive and easy to prepare.

We have a specific curriculum purchased for the entire school to use, and we are supposed to use it. However, the curriculum is very wordy, and if a child is a slow reader, it complicates the math. I wanted to step outside this curriculum to teach decimals to my students on a shortened timeframe with greater impact. I am so glad that I used this curriculum. I was able to review place value, then teach them decimals quickly and concisely, without losing anyone to the wordy problems. I have used some of the 4th grade units before when I taught 4th grade and I knew that these would be just what my students needed. It did not disappoint. I intend to use these resources more in the future, and I hope to get approval to use it solely in my classroom. My students love doing math this way, and beg me to not use our purchased curriculum.
