Parents can support learning at home by helping students connect this week’s lesson to real-life examples and practice explaining their thinking. Encourage your child to explain each step aloud rather than simply memorize a rule = SAMPLE TEST QUESTIONS + DESMOS

***If your child needs more challenge, they can move at a faster pace by using this site to study the concepts of future lessons. Mr. Pierre will strive to prepare lessons two weeks ahead of the current week. Also, Khan Academy is a great enrichment resource***

The Belly Buster Pizza Puzzle | Math Mess | Grades 3-5, 6-8 Mathematics Teaching and Lesson ResourcesDoubling something isn't always easy! See if you can figure out why if Tito sells his new pizza for $19.99 he'll be in trouble. Use what you know about area, rates, and proportions to figure out how much Tito should charge or what the dimensions of the new pizza should be in this real world application of math.

Real-World Expressions and Equations: Tip Jar | Grades 3-5, 6-8 Mathematics Teaching and Lesson ResourcesExamine whether the common practice of tipping 20% of a restaurant bill for great service is fair. This video focused on different ways to visualize the current method of tipping and proposed potential changes to the standard practice. This video was submitted through the Innovation Math Challenge, a contest open to professional and nonprofessional producers.

Aiming For the Basketball Hall of Fame | Using Ratios | Grades 3-5, 6-8 Mathematics Teaching and Lesson ResourcesIn this video segment from TV411, two professional basketball players plan a trip from Atlanta, Georgia to the Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Massachusetts. Using a road map of the United States and a ruler, they figure out the distance they must travel. To calculate how long the trip will take, they focus on the map’s legend and their predicted driving speed.

Solve the Ratio and Proportion Problem | Cyberchase | Grades 3-5, 6-8 Mathematics Teaching and Lesson ResourcesIn this video, Harry finds money on the sidewalk. He uses ratio, proportion, and some knowledge about shadows to return it to the rightful owner. In the accompanying classroom activity, students investigate whether there is a consistent relationship between the height of objects and the length of their shadows.
