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
5th Grade Science
Observing our sky
Observing our stars
This scope is supported by these science and engineering practices.
1. Developing and Using Models.
2. Analyzing and Interpreting Data.
If the Sun is an average-sized star, why does it look like the largest?
The sun is a star that appears larger and brighter than other stars because it is closer. Stars range greatly in their size and distance from Earth.
Unit 2 dives into Ancient American Civilizations and orients students to the geography and climate of the Americas while presenting an overall history and timeline of the rise and fall of the Maya, Aztec, and Inca Civilizations. Students review the stages of the writing process to create a Codex Project. This is modeled after ancient writings, but includes information about specific elements of civilizations for each of the three early American civilizations.
