五年級數學技能2 FLEX

In this eight week fifth grade math course, students will learn important math skills including fraction operations and measurement conversions, as outlined by the Common Core Standards. Whether your student is looking to get ahead of the curriculum, needs to review these important skills, or is learning these concepts for the first time, this class is the perfect way to ensure that they are successful with mastering these standards. Taught by a licensed fifth-grade teacher, your child will receive all the feedback, guidance, and support they need as they work on skills such as finding equivalent fractions, simplifying fractions, adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing fractions and mixed numbers, and converting measurements in both the customary and metric systems. 

**Your child does not have to take parts 1 or 3 of this course in order to be successful with these skills. Each skill is taught in isolation and each trimester has a different focus. This trimester has a fraction focus and is great for students who are struggling with these concepts or who are new to fraction operations.**


Class Structure: 
Students will begin each lesson by watching the pre-recorded mini-lesson. This will allow them to enter each week with the background knowledge needed to meet the objectives. 
Students will complete a Nearpod lesson, interacting with other students on the collaboration board, participating in the Nearpod games, and completing math vocabulary practice within the lesson.
Each week, students will complete a homework assignment related to the week's lesson. These are teacher-created handouts that are specifically aligned to the skills being taught that week. 

They can turn their homework into the teacher for personalized feedback and guidance.

Each week, they will engage in a conversation with other members of the group on the classroom board about how the week's content can be applied to a real-life situation.

Games, additional handouts and activities, and links to interactive practice tools will be provided throughout the course, when applicable.
