5th Grade Homeschool Curriculum Aligned with NJ SLS

Our 5th-grade curriculum is fully aligned with New Jersey’s Student Learning Standards (NJSLS), making sure your child receives a strong education across all core subjects. Here’s a quick look at what we cover:

Homeschool Math

  • Advanced Multiplication & Division
    Students build on their multiplication and division skills, learning how to solve multi-digit problems and tackle long division with remainders.

  • Fractions & Decimals
    We teach students how to simplify, compare, add, subtract, multiply, and divide fractions and decimals, including converting between the two.

  • Expressions & Order of Operations
    Your child will learn to write and solve expressions using variables and follow the correct steps using PEMDAS. They’ll also use input/output tables to deepen understanding.

  • Geometry & Measurement
    From coordinating planes and plotting points to finding perimeter, area, and volume, students explore shapes, quadrants, and both metric and customary units.

Homeschool Reading

  • Reading Comprehension & Analysis
    Students read complex texts, answer questions, quote from the text, and summarize key ideas. We help them become confident, thoughtful readers.

  • Literary Elements & Author’s Tools
    We explore plot, theme, setting, and mood, along with tools like tone, foreshadowing, and symbolism, to help students understand how stories are built.

  • Nonfiction Skills
    Your child will identify and understand nonfiction text features like captions, headings, and indexes while building research and comparison skills.

  • Genre & Theme Identification
    Students learn about fiction, nonfiction, and subgenres, such as fantasy, biography, and mystery, while identifying key themes and comparing different stories.

Homeschool Writing

  • Structured Essay Writing
    We guide students through crafting five-paragraph opinion, persuasive, and informative essays with clear arguments and supporting evidence.

  • Creative & Narrative Writing
    Students learn to plan and write fictional stories and personal narratives using strong settings, character development, and story structure.

  • Quote Analysis & Critical Thinking
    We teach how to break down quotes and analyze their meaning, combining reading and writing skills into structured essays.

  • Vocabulary Building
    Through regular practice, spelling quizzes, and creative exercises, students learn grade-level vocabulary to improve both writing and comprehension.
