Math

This week in math, we will continue our learning of algebraic reasoning and matching multi-step word problems to expressions and equations. If students would like to practice this concept at home for homework this week, please work in IXL 5th grade U.1-U5.

I will introduce additive and multiplicative patterns and relationships in tables and graphs. Students will work through a set of task cards this week that will be graded in Skyward. In IXL, U.8-U.10 will help reinforce this concept at home for homework.

NO HOMEWORK IN CANVAS!
