Elementary Mathematics Book 5 offers parent-child interactive lessons with a greater focus on independent work. Lesson length is 30 minutes, with 5 minutes of dedicated oral mental math expected. Concrete objectives are used less, as students are guided toward more abstract understanding. The authors recommend that Elementary Mathematics Book 5 and the Charlotte Mason Practical Geometry Book 1 be used concurrently, with arithmetic taught four days per week and geometry one day per week. Three exams, one for the end of each term, are included. A grid notebook (1/2” or alternative) is strongly encouraged. Other recommended supplies include a personal chalk or dry-erase board, place value chart, ruler and measuring tape, drawing compass, meter stick, analog clock, and a few household items. Number Sentence Cards are optional. Book 5 begins with a review of Book 4, then covers multiplication and division of decimals and mixed decimals, drawing plans to scale, perimeter of polygons, greatest common measure, factors and factoring, least common multiple, reducing and simplifying fractions, improper fractions, addition/subtraction of fractions and mixed numbers, and more.

Description
With Book 5, the recommended schedule changes from every day to four days per week. For the fifth day, a hands-on geometry lesson should be completed from Charlotte Mason Practical Geometry, Part 1. These weekly geometry lessons give the student experience with mathematical tools such as a compass and protractor, and guide the student in understanding foundational ideas in geometry. This hands-on approach develops the student’s comfort with the mechanics of tools, drawings, and geometrical concepts before formal geometry and proofs are introduced. We suggest that 5th grade students work on arithmetic Monday through Thursday, with Friday reserved for practical geometry.
