Homework for Wednesday, Nov. 15

We have begun identifying angles and measuring them with a protractor. Students are asked to practice this at home in order to hone this skill. Students should first identify the angle as a right angle, acute angle, obtuse angle, or straight angle. They should then estimate the measurement of the angle before measuring. Then students should use their protractors to measure the angle.
I have protractors that I am allowing the students to use for angle measurement, however, they are becoming worn and scratched with time and some students may wish to have their own to use in the classroom. Students will need a compass to use during this unit as well. I encourage students to purchase a math set if they do not already have these tools. The math set should include both a protractor and a compass.

Homework for Tuesday, Oct 11

Picture Day is coming soon and students will have received a form which includes the date and background selection. Please return forms with your selections to me so that they are here for picture day. We have now begun our second unit in math. We have begun learning about creating patterns from a given pattern rule (such as: start at 3, multiply by 2 and subtract 2 each time). Students were working with hundreds charts exploring multiples of numbers, looking for patterns in the ones and tens places. Students should practice finding patterns in multiples, creating patterns from a pattern rule, and identifying the pattern rule from a list of numbers. Sample questions: -Write out the multiples of 3 and then 6. What patterns do you see in each list of numbers? What do you notice if you compare the numbers in both lists? -What is the pattern rule for the following list of numbers: 3, 7, 11, 15, 19, 23... - Create the following pattern based on the rule: Start at 6, add 11 and sub...

Math Test on Tuesday

After the holiday on Monday, students will have to do their math unit quiz when they return on Tuesday. We have been working on place value and understanding numbers. For grade 5 students this will be numbers up to 100 000. For grade 6 students it will be numbers up to 1 000 000. Grade 5 students should be able to: -Round numbers to the nearest ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, or hundred thousand place -Compare numbers to see which is greater, and use the > and < signs appropriately -Order groups of numbers from the least to the greatest, or greatest to least -Write numbers in words from the given digits -Write numbers in digits from the given words -Write numbers in expanded form -Tell how many tens, hundreds, or thousands would be in a number (such as 100 000) Grade 6 students should be able to: -Round numbers to the nearest ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, hundred thousand or millions place -Compare numbers to see which is greater, and use the > a...
