Math at Home

Check out what we're working on in Math in Room 209.

Here are some tips on what to practice at home:

Dates: March 24th-28th
Learning Goals: 

Grade 5

Big Idea

-read, represent, compare and order proper and improper fractions and mixed numbers with like denominators

• I can represent fractions w/ unlike denominators, including proper/improper and mixed
• I can explain the concept of equivalent fractions using concrete materials
• I can compare fractions w/ unlike denominators, including proper/improper and mixed
• I can order fractions w/ unlike denominators, including proper/improper and mixed

Grade 6

Big Idea

-read, represent, compare and order proper and improper fractions and mixed numbers

• I can represent fractions w/ unlike denominators, including proper/improper and mixed
• I can compare fractions w/ unlike denominators, including proper/improper and mixed
• I can order fractions w/ unlike denominators, including proper/improper and mixed
• I can estimate quantities using benchmarks of 10, 25, 50, 75, 100%

Focus for online practice/workbooks: 
-represent fractions
-compare and order fractions

Dates: Feb 24-28
Learning Goals: 
I can tell you a lot about a number even if I only have a bit of information about it.

I can use factors and/or multiples to describe a number.

I can rename fractions to work with them.

Focus for IXL/workbooks: 
-add and subtract fractions with like denominators
-prime factorization
-divisibility rules
Challenging Proportional Reasoning Question: 
If you cut a piece of wood into 3 cm pieces, 1 cm is left over. If it is cut into 4 cm pieces or 5 cm pieces, 1 cm is still left over.
How long is the original piece of wood?

Dates: Feb 17-21
Learning Goals: 
I can recognize the value of a digit based on where it is placed in a number.

I can read big and small numbers.

I can build large numbers out of small numbers.

Focus for IXL/workbooks: 
-place values
-convert between place values
-compare numbers up to millions
-word names for numbers
Challenging Proportional Reasoning Question: 

How many 2s are there in 30?

How many 3s are there in 45?
How can this be?
Explain.
