math 5 Updates
5th grader continue their study of geometry as we get back from fall recess. Before we left we had a brief introduction to 2 dimensional shapes with a focus on quadrilaterals and triangles. When we return we will review 2 dimensional shapes and properties of triangles. Learners will gain practice creating acute, right, and obtuse triangles, as well as scalene, isosceles, and equilateral triangles. The week will end with an investigation in volume.

5th Graders seem to be really enjoying the unit on Algebra! This week we are continuing to apply the Order of Operations pneumonic PEMDAS to solve more rigorous algebraic expressions and equations that relate closely with real-world situations. Learners will have further practice using "T" charts to organize ordered pairs that correspond to a certain math "rule", that can then be graphed and evaluated visually. To wrap up our unit on patterns and relationships in Algebra, Learners will take an assessment on input/output tables with ordered pairs, as well as an open-ended, performance task as 2nd assessment. Our next unit after the Thanksgiving break will be Measurement and Geometry.
5th grade continues to study algebraic expressions. We will use input and output tables to place ordered pairs on a grid (coordinate plane). Learners will create and use rules to fill-in basic function tables. These corresponding terms will be the X and Y points to be graphed on the coordinate plane. A video we will watch can be viewed at the following link: http://www.pbslearningmedia.org/resource/4c4c84e4-dcc8-45a4-bb89-5205fef639af/4c4c84e4-dcc8-45a4-bb89-5205fef639af/
The following week we will have an end of unit assessment. 5th grade continues to study and practice algebra. We will leave PEMDAS and order of operations for the week, and turn towards ordered pairs (X, Y) and input/ output tables. Learners will plot ordered pairs on graphs and name points on graphs using the X and Y axis. A video I will use to introduce graphing ordered pairs is below. https://learnzillion.com/resources/73068-generate-numerical-patterns-using-two-given-rules-form-ordered-pairs-from-the-patterns-and-graph-the-ordered-pairs
An example of an input/ output table can be viewed here. https://learnzillion.com/lesson_plans/6711-find-the-rule-for-a-function-machine-using-a-vertical-table Later in the week learners will be able to play games involving ordered pairs, namely Battleship! I will tell them when it is appropriate to bring that game to school if they have it at home. There will be an exit ticket to assess understanding thus far. This standard is in progress but will still be represented on the Trimester 1 Report Card under “patterns and relationships.” |
