What's in the Fifth-Grade Kit Fifth grade is often the year your student starts working more on his own. This 5th grade homeschool curriculum brings earlier skills together and begins preparing for middle school. Math moves into fractions, and writing develops through more structured composition. Classic kits focus on American history, while nonreligious kits go deeper into geography. Science continues across all five disciplines with an emphasis on reasoning and understanding. Thinking skills move into more complex logic and multi-step challenges. STEM includes stop-motion animation, giving your student a creative way to plan, build, and revise. And he'll build working structures, send a wind-up truck across them, and discover firsthand which designs hold strong under pressure—and which collapse spectacularly. Every kit includes our online Scheduler, which lays out each day’s work for you. Classic and nonreligious kits differ in a few subjects, including writing and history. Compare tiers below to see what’s included, and use the customizer to swap anything that isn’t the right fit. 3 Top Features of our Fifth-Grade Curriculum Kits Well-rounded curriculum: Our Fifth-Grade curriculum kits include a variety of resources that meet or exceed most state standards Hands-on learning: Each Fifth-Grade kit includes a variety of material and hands-on activities that help students learn in a fun and engaging way Flexibility: Every kit can be customized to meet the needs of individual students.
