FOREWORD

This is a pivotal time in the history of the Ministry of Education and Technical
Education (MOETE) in Egypt. We are embarking on the transformation of
Egypt’s K-12 education system. We started in September 2018 with the
rollout of KG1, KG2, and Primary 1. In 2021 we rolled out Primary14, and we will
— inRotation/second
continue with the rollout until 2030. We are transforming the way 2 which
students learn to prepare Egypt’s youth to succeed in a future world that we
cannot entirely imagine.

MOETE is very proud to present this new series of textbooks, with the
D learning
accompanying digital = 2 materials that captures its vision of the
D
transformation journey. This is the result of much consultation, much thought
and a lot of work. We have drawn on the best expertise and experience
from national and international organizations and education professionals
to support us in translating our vision into an innovative national curriculum
5 framework and exciting and inspiring print and digital learning materials.

The MOETE extends its deep appreciation to its own “Central Administration
for Curriculum Development” (CACD) and “Discovery Education,” .

This transformation of Egypt’s education system would not have been
possible without the significant support of Egypt’s current president, His
Excellency President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi. Overhauling the education system
is part of the president’s vision of “rebuilding the Egyptian citizen” and it
is closely coordinated with the ministries of Higher Education & Scientific
Research, Culture, and Youth & Sports. Education 2.0 is only a part in a bigger
national effort to propel Egypt to the ranks of developed countries and to
ensure a great future to all of its citizens.

Dear Parent/Guardian,
Welcome to Primary 5 Mathematics TechbookTM! This comprehensive program
inspires students to make sense of the world around them and to think and act
like mathematicians. Throughout the digital and print program, students learn
to reason mathematically, communicate using mathematical language, ask

Primary 5 Mathematics Techbook was designed and written to teach to the


Ministry of Education and Technical Education (MOETE) Primary 5 mathematics
standards. The structure of Primary 5 Mathematics Techbook represents the
Ministry’s shifts in the Framework for Education 2.0, specifically focusing on
accessing new and prior knowledge, building contextual understanding and
procedural fluency, and making connections across mathematics to support Dancer #1
application of skills and concepts. To help students make sense of mathematical
content, the program also integrates a thematic approach and a variety of
(2 , 9)
real-world scenarios.

Dear Parent/Guardian, continued

Primary 5 Mathematics Techbook challenges students to build on what they


learned in previous grades, applying concepts and skills in new ways. Students
also learn new and complex concepts and skills that prepare them for the
challenges of Primary 6 and beyond. Primary 5 students assume greater
responsibility for their own learning and are encouraged to seek opportunities to

are yellow
The major work of Primary 5 includes multiplication and division of whole
= 20% of wheel
numbers, fractions, mixed numbers, and decimals, as well as numerical
expressions. Students also explore patterns, coordinate planes, and pie charts.
Although these1 may seem like separate topics, students investigate and apply
2 the topics to build a deeper understanding of
patterns and relationships among
3
each. They explore relationships between fractions and decimals, connect their
Dancer #3
understanding of two-dimensional figures to coordinate grids, apply the4inverse

(2 , 3) and division, and draw parallels between
relationship between multiplication
fractions, decimals, and pie charts. Students learn to think like mathematicians
as they notice patterns and rules, persevere to solve challenging problems,
represent and explain their thinking, model their solutions, and strive for accuracy.

Modern city planning, or urban planning, in Cairo began in the 1830s, when the
city was transformed during Ismail’s reign (1863–1879). He was inspired by the
renovation of Paris, France, and applied a French planning style to the design of
the growing city.

Cairo and the surrounding area saw significant growth once the monarchy
ended in 1952. Transportation improved, new bridges were built, and new

Truss Bridges Work with your teacher to read the passage. Then, answer the
question.

A truss bridge is built from a series of wooden or metal triangles, known as trusses.
Trusses are used mainly for bridges that must carry heavy weight, such as railroad
bridges.

The triangle is used because it is the simplest of the polygons, but exceptionally
strong. It is the only shape that can be made from straight struts of metal and
remain rigid by taking force from a single point and distributing it across a wide

Other shapes can be deformed by the force required to hold a bridge together.

carries the railroad across the Nile River. It is about 279 meters long and has been
in use since 1913.

Azbakeya Garden Work with your teacher to read the passage. Then, answer the
questions.

Egyptian public parks and gardens, including ancient ones, have had to change as
urban areas develop. The site of Azbakeya Garden dates back to the 15th century,
when a lake with an area of 45 feddan was dug. (One feddan is about 4,200 square
meters.) Later, the lake was filled in with earth and turned into an 18-feddan park
which was opened to the public in 1872. As of 2014, the area of the park was only
4 feddans.

1. Select three different colors. Draw the original lake with an area of 45 feddan.
Inside this rectangle, use another color to represent the area of the 18-feddan
park in 1872. Inside this park, use another color to represent the current area of
4 feddans.
2. By how much did the area change from the lake to its current dimensions?

Ramlet Bulaq. Today, it holds millions of volumes on a variety of topics.

The ancient works housed in the library are among the greatest in the world. There
are ancient manuscripts of the Qur’an, illuminated manuscripts, and Arabic papyri from
across Egypt dating to the 7th century AD and earlier. The library also houses Ottoman

The grid plan is a strategy for city planning in which streets and roads run at right
angles to each other. The streets form a grid similar to a coordinate plane. This
plan allows for frequent intersections, helps with pedestrian movement, and makes
it easy for people to orient themselves and find destinations in large cities.

The grid plan has been in use for almost 5,000 years and exists in many
communities around the world. Some of the earliest planned cities were built using
grid plans. The figure shown represents a city designed with the grid plan.

Why Use a Pyramid? Work with your teacher to read the passage. Then, answer
the questions.

Pyramids were built in many countries around the world, from South America to
Sudan. Egypt, however, contains the most famous of the ancient pyramids. Why
did the ancient Egyptians use the pyramid shape and not a rectangular prism or a
cube?

Egyptologists have a few theories. One is that the pyramids were modeled after
a sacred pointed stone called the Benben, believed to be the first model for
obelisks. Others believe the shape represented the rays of the sun, and that the
sloping sides of a pyramid allowed the dead pharaoh to symbolically climb to the
sky and live forever.

From a structural standpoint, the shape of a pyramid allows the weight to be


Photo Credit: Cipolina / Shutterstock.com

distributed evenly. Most of the weight in a pyramid is on the bottom and decreases
as you go up. This allows tall, large structures to be built.

Capacity is the amount a three-dimensional shape can hold. Seif said that maybe
the ancient Egyptians used a pyramid instead of a rectangular prism for their tombs
because if they are the same height and have the same base, the pyramid would
have a greater capacity. Do you agree or disagree with Seif and why?

Nilometers in Egypt Work with
your teacher to read the passage.
Then, answer the discussion
questions.

The Nile was the river of life for


ancient Egyptians. They created
nilometers to measure the volume
of water in the river. A nilometer
dating to 715 AD is located on Nilometer Well
Rhoda Island in the Nile River in
Cairo.

A nilometer could be a circular or rectangular well made from limestone with


a staircase descending into its interior. Ancient Egyptians either dug a channel
to connect the well to the river, or they used it to measure the water table. This
distance was measured in cubits, which was the length of a forearm. The farmlands
along the Nile were considered to be most fertile when the river measured seven
cubits deep.

In 2016, archaeologists discovered a nilometer in the ancient city of Thmuis in the


Delta region in the current Dakahlia governorate. This nilometer was probably
constructed in the third century BC and was used for about a thousand years to
determine the volume of the river during the annual flooding.

The Step Pyramid at Saqaara

Egypt’s first step pyramid was


constructed at Saqqara about
4,700 years ago. The Step Pyramid
was built in the third dynasty to
house the burial chambers of King
Djoser and his family.

The pyramid began as a mastaba


(meaning “bench” in Arabic) tomb. Step Pyramid at Saqqara
A mastaba tomb is a flat-roofed
structure with sloping sides. As construction continued, it grew to a 60-meter-high
pyramid composed of 6 layers built one on top of the other.

140
The Step Pyramid of Djoser was made of 330,400 cubic meters of stone. The
labyrinth of tunnels that lead to chambers and galleries inside the Step Pyramid
of Djoser are close to 6 kilometers in length. Inside there is a central shaft that is
7 meters long and 7 m wide.

The Rhind Papyrus One of the oldest mathematical documents is the Rhind
Papyrus, named after the Scottish archaeologist Henry Rhind. The Rhind Papyrus
is thought to date from 1550 BC. It is 200 centimeters long and 32 cm wide. It is
also known as the Ahmos Papyrus after the scribe who copied it. It is thought this
papyrus was a mathematics textbook containing problems to help others learn math.

The papyrus has 84 problems written on it. The problems involve multiplication,
division, fractions, geometry, and other topics. There are even problems on the
papyrus to figure out the capacity of ancient granaries.

Like the ancient Egyptians, modern-day


math students use workbooks and
technology to learn math. Instead of
asking her students to copy a papyrus
scroll, Mrs. Manal has ordered a box of
textbooks for her math students. The
box has a volume of 27 cubic units.

9 cubic units of textbooks, how many Making Papyrus

The Game of Senet Work with your teacher to read the passage. Then, respond
to the prompt.

Board games were a favorite pastime of ancient Egyptians. One of the most
popular games was Senet. Senet means “passing,” and the aim of each player is to
move their pieces around the board and avoid hazards. It is played by two players,
either on elaborate boards or on game boards scratched in the dirt. The Senet
game board of Tutankhamun sits on an ebony stand with legs and feet resembling
those of an animal. The stand’s legs rest on runners like those of a sled. It can be
seen in the Egyptian Museum.

The board itself has 30 squares laid out in 3 rows of 10 on the top of a rectangular
prism that has drawers to hold game pieces. Many boards have survived intact,
along with their counters and throw sticks. However, the exact rules of the ancient
game are not fully understood, so there are variations in game play.

Inside the Great Pyramid The Giza pyramid complex includes the Great Pyramid
of Khufu, the Pyramid of Khafre, the Pyramid of Menkaure, and the Sphinx. The
pyramids are believed to have been royal tombs for the pharaohs who had them
built. The complex also includes the Queen’s Pyramids and other temples for
offerings. However, what is inside the Great Pyramid, the most famous pyramid
in Giza?

The Great Pyramid has little open space inside. To reach and enter the King’s
Chamber, you must travel through a very tight ascending passageway, climb a
steep walkway inside the Grand Gallery (a tall but narrow open space), and crawl
through a tunnel.

Ascending Passageway

The King’s Chamber measures about 10.5 meters by 5 m, and it is about 6 m high.
This room is made entirely of pink granite with hieroglyphic text carved into the
walls and a giant sarcophagus that once held the king’s mummy. The chamber is a
great feat of architecture with only a small crack in the ceiling after 4,000 years.

What is the approximate volume of the King’s Chamber?

Many ancient civilizations used post-and-lintel architecture. It is an architectural
form in which two vertical elements support a horizontal element that spans the
space between.
The vertical elements are called posts (or columns)
and the horizontal elements are called lintels
(or beams). The image shows an example of
post-and-lintel architecture from the Luxor Temple,
which was built over 2,000 years ago.

2. Fares built a small planter box for his window. He planned to fill it to the top
with 12,000 cubic centimeters of soil. The base of the planter box measured
40 cm long and 15 cm wide. What should the height of the box be to hold all
the soil?

Canopic Chest Work with your teacher to read the passage and answer the
questions.

Individuals all over the world have long


been fascinated by the mummification
process of ancient Egyptians and the
artifacts found relating to their burial
ritual. Many of these artifacts are works
of art themselves. In particular, canopic
jars, as well as canopic chests, were
often decorated and elaborately carved Canopic Vases
with hieroglyphics.

The image shows the canopic chest and jars of Tutankhamun. The chest and jars
were carved from Egyptian alabaster. The box is engraved with goddesses and
hieroglyphics meant to protect the pharoah.

The oldest canopic chest ever found was that of Hetepherese, mother of King
Khufu. The chest measures about 54 centimeters long, 49 cm wide, and 35 cm tall.
