Suggested pacing 2 weeks
Teacher tips:
Use the inclusive definitions of a trapezoid (see vocabulary) and isosceles triangle (At least two equal sides/all equivalent are also isosceles).
Primary emphasis should be on the hierarchies
🌕 Identify and classify two-dimensional shapes based on their attributes/ properties.. (5.G.3, 5.G.4) (SMP6)
I can identify the attributes of two dimensional figures (5.G.3)
I can identify the subcategories of two dimensional figures (5.G.3)
I can classify two-dimensional figures in a hierarchy based on attributes/ properties.. (5.G.4)

Trapezoid **
**IAR defines a trapezoid as a 4-sided shape with at least one set of parallel sides (this means a square, a parallelogram, a rhombus, and a rectangle are all trapezoids)
Choose which strategy students need to practice. You may find that they need many, so start with one for a week or so, then move onto another. You are looking for efficient strategies, not mastery of all strategies. Students may find they prefer one strategy over another or change strategies for different problems. The goal is that they are flexibly using efficient strategies and are able to reason about numbers to fluently compute.
Multiplication Strategies Decimals (Review)
use partial products Partial products mixed decimals
break apart factors tenths hundredths
doubling/halving Double & half
Division Strategies Decimals (Main focus)
multiplying up divide decimals multiply up
use partial quotient Divide dec partial quotients
interpret remainder Whole #s quotient less than 1
Fraction Strategies (Main focus)
Add unlike denominators Use area model to find like denominator Number line Benchmark ½ Benchmark of 1whole
Subtract unlike denominators Subt use area model Number line & number line Unlike denominator Remove subtrahand
Multiply unit fraction of whole Breaking apart strategy Doubling/Halving strategy

“Closure in a lesson does not mean to pack up and move on. Rather, it is a cognitive activity that helps students focus on what was learned and whether it made sense and had meaning.” How the Brain Learns Mathematics (2007) P. 104
There are many ways to wrap up and reflect the day's activities but this step is often overlooked or rushed. Purposely plan and allow time for students to have closure each day (even if it means setting a timer or daily alarm so you don't run out of time).

These are activities to give students mixed, spaced practice based on the big ideas for 5th grade math.
These resource sheets are intended to reinforce procedures and concepts. They should not be used as a source of direct instruction or whole-group practice. Please select pages carefully based on your students' needs.
You may have students work on these with a partner, independently with an answer key to self-check (tip: use sheet protectors), or as a journal response. It is not necessary to have students complete a page every day- the intent is to have opportunities to spiral concepts for mixed practice, not do "busy" work.
