How to Use Piqosity’s Math 5 Course

Our proven skills building methodology for the last 18+ years.

success cycle

For high achieving fifth grade students, Piqosity’s Math 5 course is an excellent supplement to in-school instruction; students can easily spend an hour or more reinforcing their skills. Precocious 4th graders could even use the Math 5 course to get ahead.

Piqosity’s Math 5 course is an excellent resource to remediate less than stellar grades. Whether your student realizes they need extra help in the 1st quarter or the 4th quarter, Piqosity can help students catch up to their peers and even get ahead.

If your student is applying to a new private school for 5th or 6th grade, there’s a good chance they’ll have to take the ISEE or SSAT private school admissions test. Piqosity’s Math 5 course is an excellent supplement to ensure your student is proficient in the tested math concepts.

Regardless of what your child’s specific goal is, the broader quest is always to ensure they simply have a strong command of grade-level math concepts. Piqosity’s Improvement Cycle for students applies:

  1. Take a practice test to understand current strengths and weaknesses
  2. Use the analysis from that test to develop an improvement roadmap
  3. Internalize that plan by discussing with a peer, parent, or tutor
  4. Practice, practice, practice until you can teach the concept yourself
  5. Repeat until you’ve achieved your desired score

Frequently Asked Questions

Will Piqosity’s courses help my child if they are falling behind in school?2021-11-10T17:00:25-06:00

Yes! Piqosity’s courses are designed to meet your student where they are, and they can be used for both enrichment and remediation. Your child can use Piqosity’s lessons and practice materials to review and reinforce the concepts they are struggling with in class. If they aren’t sure where to start, they can take a diagnostic test to help them understand where their weaknesses lie, or they can use the Piqosity Virtual Tutor to progress through the Course Outline from start to finish.

Why is Piqosity’s Digital SAT Course Free?2024-03-09T12:03:38-06:00

Piqosity’s new Digital SAT course is currently free through May 31, 2024. We are confident in the quality of our content but not all of it is available. Therefore, access is free because this course is still in development:

  1. Not all 12 full-length tests are available. While we intend to offer 12 digital SAT practice tests plus 2 PSAT tests, we are rolling them out sequentially between February and March, 2024.
  2. Instructional lessons are not yet uploaded. Our content team is in the process of adapting paper SAT lessons plus writing entirely new lessons and videos. These how-to guides will be uploaded beginning in March.
  3. The questions are not normed. Piqosity is unique among e-learning platforms in that every question on our platform is continuously peer-normed for difficulty. However, given the newness of the DSAT content, we don’t yet have that data. For this reason, you’ll also notice that our full-length tests are not currently numbered 1-12. Instead they have unique names like “Baker” or “Sid Rich” so that we can shuffle the order around in order to encourage more usage of certain tests during the free, development period.

How do Piqosity’s math and ELA courses align with my child’s curriculum?2021-11-10T17:12:21-06:00

Our content is aligned to both Common Core and Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS). Where applicable, we and our partners write content in accordance with our experience and the specifications set forth by the test makers (i.e. ACT, College Board, and ERB).

How do I know my child is making progress in Piqosity’s ELA and math courses?2021-11-10T17:12:13-06:00

The dashboard for each course puts your student’s progress front and center, with easy-to-read “donuts” displaying their current score (out of 100) across the course as well as within each unit or topic that the course covers. For a more granular look at your student’s accuracy, refer to the Course Outline on the dashboard or visit the Lessons page; these tools display your student’s accuracy when it comes to individual concepts. If your student completed one of Piqosity’s diagnostic assessments upon getting started with the course, you can also compare their diagnostic scores with their current performance to get a sense of how they are progressing.

How do I help my child with Algebra 1?2021-11-10T16:41:32-06:00

Even if it has been a while since you have reviewed Algebra, you can help your child by encouraging them to complete practice on a regular basis – including, but not limited to, the practice they are assigned by an educator. Repetition is important not only in overcoming weaknesses with algebraic concepts, but also in strengthening skills and building confidence across the board. Work with your child to review their homework, quiz, and test grades to help determine where they are struggling, and focus on those areas first. You can also speak with your child’s educator to get a better sense of where their strengths and weaknesses lie.

If you desire more structured math practice, consider using Piqosity’s Algebra 1 course, which makes it easy to diagnose weaknesses and practice concepts.  

How can I help my 5th grader with math?2021-11-10T16:37:51-06:00

If your child is struggling with math, one of the best things you can do is to identify their problem areas and spend a little extra time with them each day practicing these concepts. Do your best to apply concepts to real-world, daily issues and to keep math practice positive and fun. If you yourself struggle with math, make sure to read our article on overcoming math anxiety; it is all too easy to pass down your negative feelings towards math. 

If you desire more structured math practice, consider using Piqosity’s 5th grade math course.

Does Piqosity offer tutoring?2021-10-08T13:43:30-05:00

No, as an education-technology company, Piqosity does not directly provide tutorial services. However, we do partner with independent, third-party educators across the world. Some of our course packages include a consultation or tutorial session with these tutors and teachers.

Do Piqosity’s math and ELA courses last a full school year?2021-11-10T17:01:35-06:00

Currently, all of our Math and ELA courses are estimated to take around 40 hours to complete. School is in session for roughly 35 weeks out of the year; assuming a student works roughly 1 hour per week, your Piqosity math course will take the average student a full academic year to complete. Students using Piqosity to remediate or prepare for a standardized test such as the ISEE Lower Level, will likely have to compress this timeline.

Do Piqosity’s classes come with tutoring hours?2021-11-10T17:07:58-06:00

Piqosity does not provide tutorial services. However, we do partner with independent, third-party educators across the world. Some of our course packages include a consultation or tutorial session with these tutors and teachers.

Do I receive a certificate of completion or course credit for a Piqosity course?2021-11-10T17:06:50-06:00

Piqosity is not an accredited institution and does not offer course credit. We do not currently offer certificates of completion at this time, but are working towards doing so in the near future.

Can I use Piqosity’s courses to teach a class or tutor?2021-11-10T17:07:41-06:00

  • Student management including the ability to see everything the student sees
  • Automatic scoring and analysis of all student work

They will be able to share this content with all users or just with their own students.We are actively looking for educators and publishers to contribute to our platform.

At what age can my child take Piqosity’s Algebra 1 course?2021-11-10T16:47:13-06:00

Students usually take Algebra 1 in 8th or 9th grade, which means that our course is generally ideal for students between 13 and 15 years of age. However, Piqosity’s courses can be used in a variety of ways. If you have a student in Pre-Algebra who is looking for a challenge, they could take our course for enrichment purposes. Meanwhile, an older student who is taking (or about to take) Geometry or Algebra 2 could use our Algebra 1 course for remediation, or to brush up on previously learned concepts.

At what age can my child take Piqosity’s 5th grade math course?2021-11-10T16:39:35-06:00

Children entering the 5th grade are typically around 10 or 11 years old, and our course is ideal for students at that age. However, Piqosity’s courses can be used in a variety of ways. If you have a younger child looking for a challenge, an 8 or 9-year-old could take our course for enrichment purposes. Meanwhile, an older 11-year old or a 12-year-old who needs to review previously learned concepts could use our math course for remediation purposes.
