In the fifth year of elementary school, children will take a big step forward in the field of number sense. They will practice place value in decimal numbers and will know more about negative numbers and prime and composite numbers.
They will be able to perform advanced calculations of multiplication and division and will begin to learn about factors and multiples and the order of operations.
