Proctors are needed for EOG!! If you are able to help, please go to the following website and sign up http://www.signupgenius.com/go/60b044eaba82da64-proctors

Every Monday all 5th graders are given a Math SuperStars. These are to be worked on at home and are due back to me by Friday. Your child can earn stars for every problem answered correctly. Encourage your child to complete this weekly!!

Yellow Group ~ We have completed multiplying and dividing fractions and moving into measurement! Measurement includes solving problems involving information presented in line plots. This information will be given in both whole numbers and in fractions. Students will be converting among customary and metric measurement systems and using those conversions in multi-step real world problems. We will also be recognizing volume measurement. Doesn't all of this sound fun?

Red Group ~ We are in the process of completing multiplying and dividing fractions. Then we will begin measurement. Fifth grade measurement involves line plots, customary and metric unit conversions, and volume. All of these are applied to word problems.

Blue Group ~ We are dividing fractions. We'll be using visual models along with expressions to solve these problems.
