The Exploring Creation with Mathematics Grade 4-5 Add-On Kit
is for families who have already been using Exploring Creation with Mathematics
and just need the supplies specific to the fifth-grade program. If you have
been using this program and have already purchased an Activity Kit, you already
have most of the required manipulatives for fifth grade; you just need a few
new ones, which is where this set comes in! If you are starting Exploring
Creation in fifth grade, you will want to purchase the complete Grade 5 Activity Package.
Exploring Creation with Mathematics Level 5 builds on
a student’s understanding of mathematics. Beginning with a review of whole
numbers and place value, it expands into order of operations, expanded form,
and scientific notation. Subsequent chapters cover multiplication and division,
factors, multiples, estimating, fractions/decimals (addition/subtraction and
multiplication/division), and percents. The course concludes with geometry,
graphing, and metric and customary measurement conversion. Manipulatives and
games remain integral to support multisensory learning. Available but not
required, the Exploring Creation with Mathematics Level 5 Skills Practice
follows the progression found in the Level 5 Student Text and Teaching Guide. Students
who need additional practice on concepts will benefit from the short (less than
10 minutes daily) practice. A supplemental Activity Package with the
manipulatives needed for the Exploring Creation with Mathematics Level 5
course is available for your convenience.
