You have found the Main Math Page! This page provides a brief overview of what we are studying in our classrooms. It also contains many "related files" and links, at the bottom of the page, that can be viewed in order help with important 5th grade math concepts. For more detailed information, please visit your teacher's web page! This week in math: Our fourth unit of study, Picturing Polygons is continuing. The analysis of all things polygons is the goal , as we dive into this unit. It is highly recommended that you take a look at the "related links" below that are related to 2-D and 3-D geometry (many visual glossary pages). You may also want to look at the information on circles. Some of the concepts addressed are: the attributes of polygons versus non-polygons the names of polygons based on the number of sides attributes of polygons based on the size of angles, the number of parallel sides, and symmetry coordinate grids using four quadrants and coordinates that include negative numbers
Also, Calendar Math will continue on a daily basis with an emphasis on subtraction, patterns, and representations of fractions with denominators of 100. Example, the 8th day of school will be listed as 8%, 0.08, 8:100 and 8/100. We will then list all of the factors of 8 and 100 {8: (1,2,4,8) 100: (1,2,4,5,10,20,25,50,100)}. We will then divide 8/100 by GCF/GCF (GCF=Greatest Common Factor) in order to find the way to express 8/100 in its lowest terms. (8/100 divided by 4/4 = 2/25) In Addition, there will be a heavy emphasis placed on understanding triangles (polygons with three sides) :-} We will also be exploring the 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, and 1/16 fraction family in an exercise called Fraction of the Day.
Stuff to do at home: Know the names of polygons based on the number of sides thay have. 3-triangle 4-quadrilateral 5-pentagon 6-hexagon 7-heptagon or septagon 8-octagon 9-nonagon 10-decagon 11-hendecagon 12-dodecagon 13-13-gon.......
More useful math stuff for times when you need something to do: Fractions and their equivalent percent! REEEEEAAAAAAALLLLLLYYYYY Important! Especially for our current unit of study. 1/8 = 12 1/2 % 1/6 = 16 2/3 % 1/5 = 20% 1/4 = 25% 1/3 = 33 1/3 % 3/8 = 37 1/2 % 2/5 = 40% 1/2, 2/4, 3/6, T/2T = 50% 3/5 = 60% 5/8 = 65 1/2 % 2/3 = 66 2/3 % 3/4 = 75% 5/6 = 83 1/3 % 7/8 = 87 1/2 % 1/1, 2/2, 3/3, T/T = 100% Know the fraction. Be the fraction!
Study the 16 basic multiplication facts! This assumes that you know all of your 0s,1s, 2s, 5s, 10s, and doubles (like 8X8=64...6X6=36). When you read "know" that means like instantly, kind of like you know how to breathe. So, you can study the facts that are not in the list as well if you need to. So, 16 Facts Coming Right At You: 9x8 9x7 9x6 9x4 9x3 8x7 8x6 8x4 8x3 7x6 7x4 7x3 6x4 6x3 4x3 Make flash cards. Mix them up. Quiz Granny. Become a multiplying maniac!
Please see your teacher's math page for information regarding homework this week.
Homework Expectations: Homework will be given each week starting with week two. Each student will receive a homework sheet that is divided into four sections (Monday through Thursday with amendments for weeks with holidays). Each Student Must:
Also please keep in mind the following rubric that explains how to correctly answer a word problem. How to Create a Complete Answer to a Word Problem > Write an equation Samples: 714 ¸ 2= n 47 + 52 = n 47 x n = 94 > Solve the problem using as much visual evidence as possible, especially if you are using a traditional “column form” strategy—This might include a chart, number line, graph, picture, or other visual aid > Rewrite the equation with the answer--Samples 714 ¸ 2 = 357 47 + 52 =99
> Write the answer in a COMPLETE SENTENCE that restates the question.
Example :
Gidgi has 67 students, and Kay has 53 students. Who has the most students and by how much?
Estimate: Gidgi has 15 more students in her class.
Equation: 67 - 53 = n
Work: 60 7 - 50 3 ____________ 10 + 4 = 14
Gidgi has 14 more students in her class than Kay.
Ask yourself, "Does my answer make sense?" If not, please fix the work or at least highlight the work so that you can ask about the problem in class:-} Please be sure to scroll down to the bottom of this page to see all of the related files. There is great information and some samples of student work included, but if you don't scroll, you might miss it :-} Please visit the "links" page at the very bottom of this page to see a link to our next unit of study. You may be able to click on the link in this section as well.

Is your child having trouble recalling basic multiplication facts such as "8 x 7" easily? Please check out our new link "Strategies for Learning the Basic Multiplication Facts" for a series of specific strategies for learning the facts with "number sense". These strategies have been developed by John A. Van de Walle, a nationally known and respected mathematics educator and researcher. They are very helpful and connect very well with how we learn mathematics each and every day in our mathematics workshops! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Math Homework The "Math Homework" link will provide you with attachments of our weekly homework sheets so that you may view and print them if the need arises. This site also provides related links to helpful websites to assist your child in what he/she is learning in math class as well. We hope that you find this site useful!
