MATH
Fourth Grade
This week 4th graders will cover Chapter 6 Lessons 2 - 5, learning how to make equivalent fractions using multiplication, simplify fractions with division and find common denominators. There will be a Quiz on Friday. Use Carmen San Diego Math Model Skills 23-26, to practice concepts from Chapter 6. Remember we need to share logins 1-4 at this time.
Multiplication Facts: Students will be receiving multiplication fact homework each week in order to master their facts. They are responsible for writing facts 5x each. I will assign 2 numbers per week for them to write 5x each. The first set was assigned on Friday, 1/23. You can print your own worksheets to practice from Math-drills.com, play online games (see Math Websites Tab above), or borrow some "Holey Cards" from Mrs. Hall.
Fifth Grade
5th graders will cover Chapter 6 Lessons 1-4 this week as we learn to add & subtract fractions with unlike denominators. We begin using fraction strips to visualize the process, then use common denominators and equivalent fractions to add and subtract. There will be a Quiz on Friday. Use Carmen San Diego Math Models, Skills 22-26, to help with Chapter 6 skills. GOMATH Online Access: To use the website we should continue to share the logins for numbers 1 - 4 ( instead of individual student numbers).
Multiplication Facts: Continue practicing multiplication facts at home because they are ESSENTIAL for Fractions. You can print your own worksheets from Math-drills.com, play online games (see Math Websites Tab above), or borrow some "Holey Cards" from Mrs. Hall.
