Explain how factors or conditions impact stability and change in objects, organisms, and systems.
The intent of 5.5G is to move students from guided examples to independent work with Stability & Change.
With 5.5G, Grade 5 students practice Stability & Change in multiple representations and contexts.
Students may rely on procedures without reasoning or mix key terms. Build in quick oral explanations, error analysis, and vocabulary supports tied to 5.5G.
Start with concrete or familiar examples, connect to prior knowledge, model a clear process, and provide checks for understanding aligned to 5.5G.
Standard 5.5G describes the essential skills and understandings for Stability & Change in Grade 5. It clarifies the learning outcomes and what successful work looks like.
It lays groundwork for the next grade by deepening accuracy and flexibility with Stability & Change, so students can tackle more complex problems later.
