The North Carolina Department of Public Instruction currently recognizes the North Carolina Standard Course of Study as a best practice for instruction in Math. Scroll to page 9 of the document to see the required standards that are covered in the fifth grade.

This means that each standard will also include a breakdown of what it "looks like" for a proficient student. Please click below to explore.
