5TH Grade Math Practice (Ongoing)

The goal of this class is to give students a solid understanding of the fundamental standards they are expected to learn during the 5th grade year. These concepts are important building blocks to future math success. The specific goal for each class is as follows:
Students can:
Week 1:  Understanding Place Value (Whole Numbers and Decimals)
Week 2:  Reading, Writing, and Comparing Decimals to the Thousandths Place
Week 3:  Rounding Decimals
Week 4:  Adding and Subtracting Whole Numbers and Decimals
Week 5:  Multiplying Whole Numbers and Decimals
Week 6:  Dividing Whole Numbers and Decimals
Week 7:  Order of Operations
Week 8:  Analyzing Patterns and Relationships
Week 9:  Interpret Fractions as Division of the Numerator by the Denominator (improper and mixed numbers)
Week 10:  Add Fractions with Unlike Denominators (multiples)
Week 11: Subtract Fractions with Unlike Denominators (factors and simplifying)
Week 12:  Solve Word Problems with Addition and Subtraction of Fractions
Week 13:  Multiply Fractions and Whole Numbers
Week 14:  Divide Fractions and Whole Numbers
Week 15:  Solve Word Problems with Multiplication and Division of Fractions
Week 16:  Convert like measurement units within a given measurement system.
Week 17:  Geometric Measurement Volume, Area, Perimeter
Week 18:  Interpret Data
Week 19:  Graphing Points
Week 20:  Shapes 

I have taught math in a traditional 5th grade classroom for more than 15 years.

There will be no formal homework, but students will be given practice problems they can complete if they choose. They will also be given a preview of the next week's skill so they can prepare for class if they choose.

Progress will be assessed informally through written work, games, and observation.

50 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 0 - 1 hours per week outside of class.
