Today the students started their day with morning math focusing on the four basic fact computations.
Students must be able to solve questions using the four operations such as:
75439+65234 =
76809-54216 =
765x26 =
5643/9 =
This is our grade 5 review that we have covered for the last month.
We will be taking questions like these and adding decimals starting next week. Students will fall farther behind as concepts become more difficult if they do not understand the basics. Please encourage your children to visit mathletics, ask for extra help and practice. I will be sending home the marks from the first major math test tomorrow.
After the morning math we focused on our long division skills specifically with division questions that have remainders.
Remember the steps!
Divison
Multiplication
Subtraction
Bring Down
Repeat
In LA students worked through our Poetry powerpoint experimenting with writing some new kinds of poems!
Today we focused on the acrostic poems:
Poetry is art
Original ideas
Excellently crafted
Marvelously described
In the afternoon we began a new in class activity in which we will be creating and practicing a skit that depicts the process of transforming a motion into a bylaw. This project will be completed entirely in class.
