5th Grade
This week, we finished up our fraction unit! After spring break, we will begin our next unit on Geometry.
In the beginning of the 4th quarter, we will begin to do division timed tests. These will be a mix of all the math facts and not a particular "fact family." 5th Grade will have 6 minutes to complete these and they will be going in the grade book out of 10 points. Every third test will go in as a quiz grade.
The weekly warm-ups have changed from being a question on a paper to being a questions on the white board. When your students get to class they will need to look at the white board and answer the question on their paper. Each day these will change. For example, if they do not answer a question for a particular day, they will not get credit. We are also going over each question each day. Of course, if they are not in class they are exempt.
If your student needs extra practice with lessons we are doing in class, IXL is always a great resource. They already have an account created (log in through Clever) and can search for the specific topics we are covering in class and practice. Khan Academy is a great resource as well.
