Grade 5 Math - Part 3

The sessions will cover specific areas of the US grade 5 math curriculum and is split over 30 weeks, in  3 blocks of 10 weeks with all major areas covered.

The sessions are once a week and this block of 10 sessions will cover fractions, geometry and solids, as well as a review of the previous sessions
The set up each each week will be based around:
Week 1 – 2: Operations with Fractions - which includes addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of fractions with like denominators, unlike denominators, mixed numbers and problem solving.
Week 3 – 4: Geometry – which will include points, lines, rays, shapes and area and circumference of shapes.
Week 5 – 6: Solids – which will include solids, nets, surface area and volume.
Week 7: review of numbers, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
Week 8: review of equations
Week 9: review of graphs and charts
Week 10: review of fractions and operations with fractions

Each session will start with a warm up game using mental math to enable the learner to feel more comfortable and ready for the session. The main part of the session will cover the required topic, ensuring the basic building blocks are understood.  The topic of the week will be taught using presentations, power points, worksheets and interactive games. The session will finish with a quick cover of the work completed and any homework that will be required to be completed via the classroom.

The learners will be included in the discussion of the topic, answering questions and writing on my screen.

My teaching style is quite relaxed, I like to give positive encouragement and I like to use props, games and story examples to help explain the concept.
