Math Practice Pages

Some fifth grade parents were requesting some math home practice. Here is a set of practice pages from  our Math Curriculum. These are not "homework" and are not to be returned to the teacher. They are for parents to print and use as you see fit. Thanks for all you do to help with the teaching of learning of our students.

Math
  • This week we worked with money and clock faces to help us understand fractions.  We also started to think about finding fractions of whole numbers (IE--1/4 of 36).  We did a visual representation this week called the River Trail.  Ask your math student about it.
  • Next week we will return to equivalent fractions and how we can use them to compare portions with different denominators. 
  • Our October Number Corner will focus on gathering, analyzing and making predictions on data we collect on a daily basis using carrots.  In addition, we will be observing viewpoints of 3-dimensional buildings and using our knowledge of volume and shapes to uncover the "mystery buildings".
Literacy this week
  • This week we read  more chapters and wrote more paragraphs.  Everyone seems to be improving their writing skills with these activities.
  • When we create our character reaction paragraphs, we are inferring information, finding evidence to support our thinking,quoting accurately and writing structured and supportive paragraphs.   
  • Next week we will look at what a 2-Voice poem is and how we can create this using our text.
  • After that, we will dig in and start to think about how the analyze and prepare to write our first literary essay of the year.  
  • For ALL Block, we continue to work with vocabulary words, writing responses to our reading and fluency work.
Science 
  • Our first unit will be on Patterns of Earth and Sky as we answer the question:
Why do we see stars at different times?
  • Our first chapter will focus on :  Why don't we see a lot of stars in daytime?
  • Our second chapter will focus on :  Why is the sun up sometimes and not at other times?
  • Our third chapter will focus on :  Why do we see different stars at different times of the year?
SELS/Health lessons
  • My Many Identities
  • Peers, Family and Cultural Influences
  • Randall Way Video for October is shared in your 5th grader's Google Classroom. October goal is 1200 paws to try and earn an extra recess.
