Standards Covered
- OGM.6.NF.8Open Global Math Standards 2026™ · Math · Level 6 / Grade 5 (Age 10) · Grade 5Understand percentages as parts per hundred (where 100% represents the complete whole), convert between familiar fractions, decimals, and percentages (e.g., 1/2, 1/4, 1/5, 2/5, 4/5, 1/10, 1/100, 10%, 20%, 25%, 50%), and calculate percentages of given quantities in practical contexts.
- OGM.6.NF.1Open Global Math Standards 2026™ · Math · Level 6 / Grade 5 (Age 10) · Grade 5Interpret fractions in multiple contexts (part-whole relations, measurements, quotients a/b = a ÷ b, rates, and ratios) and convert between fractions, terminating or recurring decimals, and percentages.
- OGM.6.NF.7Open Global Math Standards 2026™ · Math · Level 6 / Grade 5 (Age 10) · Grade 5Perform combined arithmetic calculations involving fractions, mixed numbers, and decimals, find a whole given a fractional part, and compute a quantity after fractional increases or decreases.
