Fifth Grade Math with Confidence Instructor Guide

This scripted, open-and-go program from math educator Kate Snow will give you the tools you need to teach math with confidence—even if it's been years since you learned these concepts yourself.

Engaging, hands-on lessons will help your child develop a strong understanding of math, step by step.

• Adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing decimals
• Adding and subtracting fractions with different denominators
• Multiplying and dividing fractions and mixed numbers
• Multi-step fraction and decimal word problems
• Solving measurement problems with fractions and decimals
• Line graphs and the coordinate plane
• Geometry and volume
• Mean and median

Your child will develop strong math skills and a positive attitude toward math with fun games and real-world applications. All you'll need are this Instructor Guide, the two Student Workbooks (Part A and Part B), and a few simple manipulatives (like base-ten blocks and fraction tiles) to make math come alive for your child.

• Hands-on, incremental lessons that steadily build conceptual understanding
• Daily review to ensure children retain what they've learned and master essential skills
• Step-by-step examples help your child develop math study skills and greater independence
• Games and real-world applications make math fun and relevant
• Clear directions and explanatory notes make teaching straightforward for the parent
• Optional extension activities and enrichment book recommendations link math lessons with everyday life

What parents are saying:

"Math with Confidence has made math the favourite subject in our homeschool. My kids love it, and are learning the 'why' behind every new skill they learn. As a self-proclaimed math-phobic person, I feel completely supported by the teacher's guide to present the material and help my children." – Stephanie E.

"The Instructor Guide is well thought out, extremely easy to follow, and doesn't require the instructor to be good at math - it enables you to learn alongside your student!" — Angela M.
