How can I support my math student?
Our current unit of study is highlighted on the left along with the report card standards. Click on this 5th Grade Math Concept Resources chart to find class notes, workbook pages, IXL practice skills, and parent links from our IM curriculum that align to each concept. (Student workbooks should be in their binders.)
PRACTICE MULTIPLICATION MATH FACTS 1-12 (Option: Math Fact Lab & 99Math)
ABSENT STUDENTS
Absent Students are only required to make up concept checks (quizzes); however, they still need to learn skills from missed lessons. I recommend that they either try the CYU from the workbook (& work through that lesson if need be) or complete the IXL listed in their Skill Plan for that lesson. The daily lessons can be found below. Additional information on these can be found on the 5th Grade Math Concept Resources

Personal Narratives is the first unit of our 5th grade CKLA curriculum. Students will get to read a variety of personal narratives told from authors of different time periods, cultures, races, and perspectives. These narratives we read open the door to enriching discussions about the lives of others and how they may or may not relate to our own lives. Students will learn about writing techniques alongside writing their own narratives based on different experiences they have had in their own lives. This is a great kickoff unit for 5th grade! We pave the way for the rest of the year along with getting to learn about one another through the journey of personal narratives.
