math 5 Updates
Fifth graders continue to build on prior knowledge. They will be practicing manipulating fractions- finding the LCM and changing improper fractions to mixed numbers. We are also completing benchmarks this week and test prep for state testing. Learners will be practicing test format and not content. For example, how to solve multi-step problems, check work etc. And how to dissect problems.

5th grade has been working away to practice and understand fractions. This week we will review academic language and practice review problems to solidify concepts we've learned. We also continue working on our adding and subtracting fraction booklets. Lastly, we continue to work on our Trimester 2 project. Learners are multiplying and dividing fractions within this recipe project.
5th grade mantra: "Strong Learners ask themselves- Does my answer make sense?" "Strong learners check their work." Important Fraction Vocabulary- Improper Fractions Proper Fractions Mixed Numbers "Keep, Change, Flip" Reducing/Simplifying Fractions Greatest Common Factor Least Common Multiple Fifth graders are practicing multiplying and dividing fractions. They are also learning to use academic language when talking about fractions. Vocabulary words include improper fractions, mixed numbers, numerator, denominator etc. This week we will begin our Trimester 2 project where learners either multiply or divide their own recipe. We multiply to increase the quantity of our recipe. We divide to make the serving smaller. On Thursday learners will be creating their own recipe in a mug. Please bring in a mug from home for our project. Thank you!
Learners are making booklets to reference all they've learned about adding and subtracting fractions with like denominators and unlike denominators. We continue focusing on using academic language when discussing fractions. Learners will work to reduce fractions to their smallest form.
