5th Grade Social Studies

Fifth grade social studies helps kids connect the stories they’ve heard about history and geography with bigger ideas about communities, culture, and change. Our 5th Grade Social Studies collection curates vetted, secular resources for homeschoolers, afterschooling families, and caregivers teaching learners around ages 10–11. You’ll find narrative-rich curricula, map-based programs, early civics units, and project-based activities that make topics like exploration, migration, and government more concrete. Every resource is reviewed for historical accuracy, inclusive perspectives, and developmental appropriateness so kids can ask real questions without being overwhelmed. Use the filters to sort by focus area (U.S. history, world history, geography, civics, or culture studies), format (books, unit studies, online courses, or hands-on projects), and learning needs such as ADHD, dyslexia, autism, giftedness, or 2e. Many families mix a core program with living books and creative projects from this collection. If you’re unsure where to start with fifth grade social studies, Modulo’s AI learning concierge can suggest pathways that fit your child and your family’s values.
