5th Grade:
Last week the 5th graders took their unit 2 assessment! Many of them did very well. As a reminder, students are always welcome to retake their test to get a higher grade! Students will be bringing their test home to get signed and make any corrections on problems they did not get correct at some point this week for homework.
Our new unit is all about FRACTIONS!!!! We have started by reading and solving what we call Equal Share problems. Here is an example:
"Sara came home from school to find that her Dad had made 3 sandwiches. She had 3 friends with her. The 4 of them decided to share the sandwiches equally. How much did each friend get?
Below is how some students might solve this problem.
We will continue our unit on fractions and by the end of this unit students will learn how to add and subtract fractions!
6th Grade:
We have continued to learn how to read, write, and evaluate ratios! Today students learned how to use Tape Diagrams to represent ratios today. We will also learn about equivalent ratios, using tables to solve ratio problems, and we will graph ratios!
Here are some pictures from last week
Getting ready for Unplugged on Thursday!
