An award-winning online math program for kids

K5 Math will help your child gain skills and confidence in elementary school math.

Math skills are critical

Good math skills are critical to success in school. Unfortunately, many children never grasp the fundamentals and some even develop math-related anxieties.

Don't just 'get by' in math - excel in it

K5 's goal is to help all kids develop confidence in math and mastery of basic math skills. According to the NAEP's 2009 Study, less than 4/10 grade 4 students are proficient in math.

Comprehensive and research-based online math enrichment program

K5 Math is a comprehensive award-winning online math curriculum which has been used by tens of thousands of kids. The program includes over 1,200 research-based online math lessons and activities.

5 key skill areas

Our Kindergarten through Grade 5 online math curriculum covers the 5 key skill areas:

Numbers and Operations - elementary school arithmetic from simple counting through fractions and beyond.

Measurement - measurement concepts, including telling time and counting money.

Geometry - characteristics and properties of geometric shapes.

Algebra - patterns, relations, functions, use of models and algebraic symbols.

Data Analysis - collecting, organizing, displaying and analyzing data

Learning through real-world scenarios

Kids need to understand math in a tangible rather than an abstract way. K5 builds connections between math and kids' own experiences. For example, students learn:

subtraction by helping members of a rabbit family jump off a diving board at a swimming pool

problem-solving skills by estimating total costs while shopping at a store

to compare large numbers in the context of distances of planets in the solar system

Free online math assessment

We recommend that your child completes our free online math assessment. Students are then placed at an appropriate level in each skill area to continue to learn at their standard and at their own pace.

Kids work at their skill level, not grade level

A child may be placed at an early Grade 3 level in geometry and a mid-Grade 1 level in phonics, or visa versa, depending on his skills. Our Guide to Math Levels summarizes what is covered in each level in each skill area.

Kids work independently

K5 minimizes the burden on parents. Point and click interfaces and repeated spoken instructions allows kids as young as 4 to use K5 Math independently.

Lesson sequence is controlled

Our online math lessons are automatically chosen by the system. K5 students cannot choose lessons at an inappropriate level or continue to repeat 'fun' lessons that they have already mastered.

Full instruction, not just quizzes

All of our math lessons start with a full interactive tutorial so kids can learn new concepts, not just practice what they have learned elsewhere. Tutorials are followed by practice sessions and finally a quiz.

Interactivity enhances the learning experience

Math concepts are introduced through interactive animations, virtual manipulatives and models. Kids don't just hear instructions on using a balance scale, but can experiment with it by clicking and dragging virtual weights to weigh various items.

Feedback is immediate to keep kids engaged

K5 Math lets your child know right away when they get something right or wrong. Kids remember better when they receive immediate feedback.

Interactivity + feedback = big advantage

Interactivity and immediate feedback gives K5 Math big advantages over traditional worksheets, workbooks and quizzing software.

Computer based learning can decrease math anxiety

Computers are completely patient and impartial. Students learn at their own pace without feeling that they are being judged. In math, it is important to build confidence and avoid anxiety.

Bite-sized lessons provide flexibility

Lessons are broken into 5-10 minute segments so that study sessions can be short and flexible. Most kids learn better with more frequent but shorter study sessions.

Parents get reports

Parents can access comprehensive reports on their child's progress at any time.

Research studies across the board all seem to come to the same conclusion when it comes to family involvement: When families are involved with their children's learning from the beginning and throughout their academic careers, students don't just succeed - they shine. Many parents don't know where to start, and at times feel like they are "doing it wrong." Parents can build the foundation needed for future STEM skills simply by asking questions and encouraging children to be inquisitive, no matter how many times we are asked "why?" Involving children in projects around the house, whether they be home improvements or baking in the kitchen, helps build critical thinking, problem solving, and creativity. Reading with our children helps build logic skills and expands their reality to include ideas they may not have had exposure to.

Encourage Parents to Read with their Students

STEM is about connecting content with the context of the world. Many students have limited views of the world and what is possible in their futures. Books open a door to new diverse places, ideas, careers, and heroes/heroines which students may never experience.

Start a parent check out library:

Parents can check out books (virtually or in person) to read at home with their student.

Parents can check out pairs of books to read along with their student.

Share Student Friendly Cooking Recipes in Weekly Memos, Twitter, or Class Websites

Cooking together provides a natural way to discuss nutritionand the impact that food choices have on the environment. Cooking teaches kids everything from fractions (is a 1/2 cup bigger than a 1/4 cup?) to temperatures (what makes broiling hotter than baking) to geometry (what is a 13 x 9 pan). We read to learn, and cooking is one of the best ways to show kids that reading offers tangible results.

Ask for School Supplies that Stay at Home

Many times parents ask, "What can I get for the house for STEM?" The best way to react to this question is to be proactive! Working with parents to understand the 4C's and the importance of skill building activities. Items that promote creativity are great like PlayDoh, LEGO's, Goldie Blox, cardboard boxes, Duct Tape, wooden blocks, etc...

You can't just ask for resources to be at home and not use them. Share weekly/weekend challenges for students to complete at home with an adult or sibling. They can be content driven or just fun experiences for the family around engineering. The key is getting them to be creative!

You can always use this STEM Strategy from teachers in Kansas City, MO for communities without the ability to purchase additional supplies. Turn STEM Bins into STEM backpacks to go home on the weekend - STEM Strategies that Works: STEM Bins

Have Students Teach their Parents/Siblings to Code

There are almost 10 times more US computing jobs open right now than there were students who graduated with computer science degrees in 2015. Coding can be a golden ticket to a successful career not only for students, but for parents as well.

Code.org has some great engaging content that can teach students and their parents about coding. If you are looking for a next step, check out Scratch.

Check out Tynker for some great coding activities using resources your students may already have access and knowledge around. Whether it's Minecraft, LEGO's, drones, or a number of other pathways; students can create codes tied to these resources that enhance them to being interactive!

Challenge Families and Staff to Create a Video of an Epic Rube Goldberg Machine

What is a Rube Goldberg Machine?
A machine that combines multiple simple machines which use a chain reaction to accomplish a very simple task in a very complicated manner.

STEM at home doesn't need complicated and require expensive materials; just creativity, critical thinking, tenacity and things already lying around the home. Building these elaborate machines engage families and are fun for all while building student skills and developing new ways of thinking!

Encourage Wonder at Home!

Create a running list online or in the classroom in of places families can go on nature walks, stay up on happenings at the zoo/museums, or even just know about upcoming nighttime stargazing opportunities.

"Mystery creates wonder and wonder is the basis of man's desire to understand" - Neil Armstrong

Lockheed Martin & Discovery Education created Generation Beyond, an interactive site with family activities to elicit wonder about space travel and Mars!

The 3M Young Scientist Lab brings the power of science to families at home. Leveled activities for all levels of students turn a home into a lab and bring the magic of "doing" to life!
