By fifth grade, math moves into more abstract concepts and longer problem sets that require planning and accuracy. Horizons 5th Grade Math is a print-based, teacher-led math curriculum that gives your child daily practice at that level.
The full course runs 160 lessons across two student workbooks plus a teacher's guide, covering exponents and prime factorization, multiplying and dividing fractions and decimals, percents, ratios, multi-digit multiplication and division (up to 5-digit by 5-digit, 4-digit divisors), advanced geometry (circles, triangles, polygons, surface area), use of compass and protractor, and probability and statistics.
Horizons uses a spiral curriculum design, which means concepts are introduced briefly, then revisited again and again across the year with a little more depth each time. This contrasts with mastery-based programs, which work through one concept thoroughly before moving to the next. Spiral curricula are usually a better fit for kids who get bored doing the same kind of problem repeatedly, and for parents who'd rather their child see a concept multiple times across the year than spend a whole unit on it once.
The teacher's guide walks you through each day's lesson, with daily lesson plans, answer keys, teaching tips, learning objectives, and 40 supplemental worksheets for concepts your child needs more time with. A manipulative schedule at the front of the guide lists which manipulatives appear in which lessons. The manipulatives themselves aren't included in the kit, and many families will consider them optional.
Horizons 5th Grade Math includes occasional Christian references in its lessons, as do other levels beginning in grade 4. The K-3 levels of the series are nonreligious.
Horizons 5th Grade Math is a good fit for a fifth grader who's ready for a full math curriculum, and for a parent who wants a fully scripted lesson plan rather than building their own. The colorful pages and spiral approach make it a particularly good fit for kids who lose interest with extended drilling on one concept.

How to Use Horizons 5th Grade Math
- One lesson per day fits a typical school year. The 160 lessons are split evenly across two student workbooks—80 lessons in each.
- The teacher's guide does the daily lesson work. Each lesson is laid out step-by-step in the teacher's guide—what to teach, what materials to have on hand, and which workbook pages to use.
- Choose your manipulatives. The teacher's guide lists manipulatives your child can use to reinforce the concepts. Decide what's worth buying based on what you already have and what will be helpful for your child.

Finally!

We have struggled the last few years to get our son to enjoy math. We actually purchased this set as a last resort. I wish it would have been our first choice! He loves it! It’s not extremely repetitive but allows enough review to help him remember, and he loves the pictures and the way it makes games out of some of the lessons!
