Week of November 29- Assignments

I hope everyone had a relaxing and fulfilling Thanksgiving Break! We are entering the homestretch to Winter Break. Although we are very excited to see it is approaching, there is a lot to cover in Math class until December 17!

MATH 5.3C- Use division to solve problems involving whole numbers (no more than two digit divisors and three digit dividends without technology) including interpreting the remainder within a given context for sharing equally and measuring out contexts applying models to division algorithms.

We have been learning other ways to multiply and divide so we do not have to rely on the "regular" way. Ask your student to show you one. It is amazing how each version works similarly!

Monday, November 29- PSB and division pictures
Tuesday, November 30- PSB and division practice
Wednesday, December 1- PSB and creating/solving division story problems USE GET!
Thursday, December 2- Review of Division concepts
Friday, December 3- TEST on division concepts covered this week

Week of November 15- Assignments

I apologize for not posting assignments last week. I created the post, but I must have forgotten to publish it.

MATH 5.2B- Use multiplication to solve problems involving whole numbers (no more than three digits times two digits with technology) applying array/area models to multiplication algorithms.
MATH5.5A- Describe the relationship between sets of data in graphic organizers such as lists, tables, charts, and diagrams, extend the pattern, and state the rule for non-consecutive related number pairs.

Monday, November 15- PSB and Problem Solving with Multiplication
Tuesday, November 16- PSB and Cha-Cha/expanded method--Prime/Composite
Wednesday, November 17-PSB and Patterns
Thursday, November 18- Prime/Composite and Review
Friday, November 19- Interim Assessment on Multiplication Unit

Week of November 8- Assignments

We have finally started a new unit on multiplication. The focus of our instruction is not how to multiply (since they already should have the basic concept down), but how to multiply using various methods, pictures, manipulatives, etc.

These are the HISD objectives we are focusing on this week:
MATH 5.3D- Identify common factors of a set of whole numbers using a variety of strategies and manipulative
MATH 5.2B- Use multiplication to solve problems involving whole numbers (no more than three digits times two digits with technology) applying array/area models to multiplication algorithms.
MATH 5.5B- Identify prime and composite numbers using concrete objects, pictoral models, and patterns in factor pairs.

The unit should end before Thanksgiving Break.

Week of November 1- Assignments

I apologize for not posting last week. I was out with awful chest congestion and a sore throat for 2 days. The rest of the week flew by and I was still catching up by Friday.

This week, we are finishing our fraction unit and starting a unit on multiplication. This unit will not only cover how to multiply, but different ways to solve multiplication problems using objects, pictures, and numbers.

MATH 5.3B- Use multiplication to solve problems involving whole numbers (no more than three digits times two digits without technology)applying arrays/area models to multiplication algorithms.

Monday, November 1- PSB and Fraction Review/Multiplication Practice
Tuesday, November 2- Student Created Fraction Practice
Wednesday, November 3- Unit Interim Assessment on Fractions- Problem Solving using Multi.
Thursday, November 4- Patriot's Day- No homework
Friday, November 5- Parts Party- Fractions Celebration and Games
