Fifth Grade Math
We are forging ahead with Fractions, Chapter 5. This week we will cover equivalent fractions, problem solving, simplifying fractions and identifying least common denominator of 2 fractions. These skills are needed to compare, add, and subtract with fractions. An open notes quiz will be held on Friday. Students are taking timed Multiplication Facts practices this week. They should continue to brush up on their multiplication and division facts to decrease difficulty with fractions.
