Mixed arithmetic in 5th grade

Fifth grade brings percentages, averages and order of operations together, and precedence is where it breaks: working strictly left to right gets the wrong answer often enough to be worth drilling on its own. Anchoring percentages on 10% is the single most useful mental strategy introduced this year.

Fifth grade moves from whole numbers to the rest of the number system: fractions with unlike denominators, decimals, percentages, and order of operations. Percentages are where arithmetic becomes visibly useful outside school, and the students who cope best are the ones whose basic facts are automatic enough to leave attention for the new structure.

5th graders are expected to handle percentages, averages and order of operations; after that comes percentages, averages and order of operations.

Watch for working an expression strictly left to right and ignoring precedence.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is mixed practice better than practising one operation at a time?
Both have a use. Practising one operation builds the facts; mixing them builds the habit of reading the problem before answering, which is what breaks down in word problems and on tests. Use single-operation practice to fix a gap and mixed practice to keep it.
What mixed arithmetic should a 5th grader know?
Enough to handle percentages, averages and order of operations.
Why does my 5th grader keep getting mixed arithmetic wrong?
Most often: working an expression strictly left to right and ignoring precedence.
