Florida Grade 5 Standards & HoffyEd Activities
Every current Florida Grade 5 academic standard — B.E.S.T. Mathematics (MA.5), B.E.S.T. ELA (ELA.5), Science (SC.5), and Social Studies (SS.5) — matched against the activities live on learn.hoffyed.com.
Standards are listed at the standard level (e.g. MA.5.NSO.1) with the benchmark range noted underneath, so every standard appears here even where HoffyEd doesn't yet have a matching activity.
Dashed chips mark a partial match — the activity touches the standard but doesn't cover it end to end. Only individual lesson pages are linked; subject and sub-topic hub pages are left out since they don't carry content of their own.
