Subject-by-Subject Learning Guide
Mathematics
Grade 5 Math advances to working with GCF and LCM, operations with fractions and decimals, and introduces basic algebraic thinking. Focus on mastering multi-step problem solving.
- • Master finding GCF and LCM of numbers
- • Perform operations with fractions (unlike denominators)
- • Convert between fractions, decimals, and percentages
- • Calculate area and perimeter of complex shapes
- • Solve multi-step word problems
Science
Science in Grade 5 explores ecosystems, matter properties, and introduces the scientific method. Students learn about interdependence in nature and physical/chemical changes.
- • Understand ecosystem relationships and food chains
- • Differentiate physical and chemical changes
- • Learn about biodiversity and conservation
- • Study weather patterns and the water cycle
- • Explore human body systems basics
English
English focuses on deeper reading comprehension and analytical skills. Students learn to identify main ideas, distinguish fact from opinion, and develop vocabulary through context.
- • Identify main idea and supporting details
- • Distinguish between fact and opinion
- • Use context clues for vocabulary
- • Understand author's purpose
- • Write organized paragraphs with proper punctuation
Filipino
Filipino introduces more complex grammar analysis with paksa at panaguri, and deepens appreciation of Filipino literature through poetry and legends.
- • Analyze paksa at panaguri in sentences
- • Expand vocabulary with synonyms and antonyms
- • Appreciate Filipino poetry (tula) and legends (alamat)
- • Master proper use of bantas (punctuation)
- • Write simple compositions in Filipino
Tips for Parents: Supporting Your Grade 5 Child
Do's
- • Allow 45-60 minutes of focused study time per subject
- • Encourage reading of various text types (fiction, non-fiction)
- • Connect math to real-world applications (budgeting, cooking)
- • Discuss science topics during nature walks or cooking
- • Practice Filipino through reading local stories together
- • Use this reviewer for NAT Grade 6 preparation
Don'ts
- • Don't expect instant mastery of GCF/LCM - it takes practice
- • Avoid doing homework for them - guide instead
- • Don't skip Filipino - it's essential for cultural literacy
- • Avoid comparing to other children's progress
- • Don't ignore reading comprehension struggles
- • Avoid cramming - consistent daily practice works better

Frequently Asked Questions
What topics are covered in Grade 5 Math?
Grade 5 Math covers place value and whole numbers, fractions and decimals operations, GCF (Greatest Common Factor) and LCM (Least Common Multiple), geometry including area and perimeter, measurement and conversion, patterns and sequences, basic algebra concepts, and multi-step problem solving.
How difficult is Grade 5 compared to Grade 4?
Grade 5 introduces more complex mathematical operations like working with GCF and LCM, advanced fraction operations, and basic algebraic thinking. Science topics become more detailed with ecosystem relationships and physical/chemical changes. English focuses on literary analysis and research skills.
Is Grade 5 good preparation for Grade 6 and NAT?
Yes! Grade 5 builds essential foundational skills needed for Grade 6 and the NAT Grade 6 exam. Topics like fractions, decimals, percentages, ecosystems, and reading comprehension are heavily tested in NAT. Strong Grade 5 skills lead to better NAT performance.
How many questions are in each Grade 5 subject quiz?
Each subject (Math, Science, English, Filipino) has 30 practice questions, giving a total of 120 questions across all four subjects. Questions are based on the DepEd MELC curriculum for Grade 5.
What science topics should my Grade 5 child focus on?
Key Grade 5 Science topics include matter and its properties, physical and chemical changes, ecosystems and food chains, biodiversity and habitats, weather and the water cycle, earth science and seasons, human body systems, and health and exercise.
How can I help my Grade 5 child with reading comprehension?
Encourage reading various text types including fiction, non-fiction, and informational texts. Discuss main ideas and supporting details, practice identifying fact vs. opinion, and work on vocabulary through context clues. Regular reading of 20-30 minutes daily significantly improves comprehension skills.
What makes Grade 5 Filipino different from lower grades?
Grade 5 Filipino introduces more complex grammar concepts like paksa at panaguri, deeper analysis of literature including tula and alamat, expanded vocabulary with synonyms and antonyms, and more sophisticated writing skills with proper punctuation and sentence structure.
How should I schedule review time for a Grade 5 student?
We recommend 45-60 minutes of study per subject per week, with 15-20 minute focused sessions. Grade 5 students can handle longer study periods but still benefit from breaks. Review one subject per day and use weekends for practice quizzes and weak area review.
