5th grade is the year for fractions and decimals. We will spend the majority of our year on these topics. 5th grade skills are essential building blocks for advanced math they will encounter in 6th-8th grade!

Simple Solutions will be a part of our curriculum however, I use it as a supplemental. Quizzes will be given only 1-3 times a quarter.

IXL will be assigned on a weekly basis and students will receive completion points.  They will be assigned on Monday on google classroom and will be due the following Sunday evenings.

Homework is given daily. Students will be provided two homework passes per quarter for their use. 

I believe homework is important and used to reinforce what is taught in class, but I also do not believe in overburdening students with excessive homework.  Assignments will be manageable and usually completed in 15-30 minutes.

We will be using primarily the Sadlier textbook. I do use many other supplemental materials throughout the year to enhance learning.
