We will also focus on division best practices and strategies to help learners feel confidant when dividing. Learners have had challenges with the larger numbers in division. It is important to 1. Slow down when solving problems with large numbers and 2. Check your work when solving large problems. We are also preparing to begin our first math interdisciplinary project with the fifth graders.
The fifth graders will be reviewing their Benchmark assessments. We have a strong focus this week on multi-digit multiplication and long division strategies. Fifth graders were perplexed with the difficulty of the Benchmark assessment so we will spend extra time on Multiplication and Division this year. Working with larger numbers can be challenging. We will also review decimal place value and comparing numbers with tenths, hundredths, thousandths and ten thousandths. Lastly, we will create our own word problems using the CUBES strategy.
