The Difficulty of Teaching Math in Grade Five
In math, a concept that you're trying to teach someone depends on a whole bunch of other concepts they should have learned beforehand. It's not too late to catch kids up if you do a task analysis of what they need and you build those skills and concepts very quickly. The minute they can count the distance between a pair of numbers, they can do pattern work. They can say what the next number is - which is great. If you just make sure every kid can count the gap between two numbers on their fingers if they have to, you can bring them to grade five level in one lesson or two lessons.
