Mathematics always begins with a problem of the day or math talks opportunity. During this time, the students look at a few problems from varying skill levels and attempt to solve the problem using different strategies. As a class, we meet to discuss the varying ways the problem was solved and discuss our big and little successes. The classroom environment is one in which we recognize each attempt to try is a success in itself!

Our class meets for a short mini-lesson and works on guided practice problems together. We then disperse into math groups where students receive small group help and other groups are working on independent skills at work stations.

This year, students will be using the Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Math Expressions series. This is our fourth year using the textbook, technology, and workbook series as a resource and I have enjoyed using it so far! I look forward to working with all fifth graders in all areas of mathematics and problem solving this year!
