MATH
Fourth Grade
4th graders will begin Chapter 10 Geometry. There will be a "quick quiz" Friday on Lessons 1 - 3. Use Carmen San Diego Math Models, to practice concepts from Chapter 10. Remember we need to share logins 1-4 at this time.
Multiplication Facts: Students should be practicing their facts at home on a regular basis in order to improve scores on weekly timed fact practices. 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. Students will receive a 4th quarter grade based on weekly practice tests and a final verbal assessment of facts.
Fifth Grade
5th graders will begin Chapter 10, Measurement, using customary measurement units this week. Students will receive a handout of Conversion Charts to be used for homework each night. There will be a short quiz covering Lessons 1-3 on Friday. If time, we will work on Line Plots for our High Jump data this week.
Use Carmen San Diego Math Models, to help with Chapter 10 skills. GOMATH Online Access: To use the website we should continue to share the logins for numbers 1 - 4 ( instead of individual student numbers).
