WHAT WE'RE WORKING ON
Math
Place Value of Whole Numbers and Decimals
MA.5.NSO.1.2 Read and write multi-digit numbers with decimals to the thousandths using standard form, word form, and expanded form.
MA.5.NSO.1.3 Compose and decompose multi-digit numbers with decimals to the thousandths in multiple ways using the values of the digits in each place.
Demonstrate the compositions or decompositions using objects, drawings and expressions or equations.
MA.5.NSO.1.4 Plot, order, and compare multi-digit numbers with decimals up to the thousandths.
MA.5.NSO.1.1 Express how the value of a digit in a multi-digit number with decimals to the thousandths changes if the digit moves one or more places to the left or right..
MA.5.NSO.2.5 Multiply and divide a multi-digit number with decimals to the tenths by one-tenth and one-hundredth with procedural fluency.
Science
Nature of Science
Big Idea 1
SC.5.N.1.1: Define a problem, use appropriate reference materials to support scientific understanding, plan and carry out scientific investigations of various types such as: systematic observations, experiments requiring the identification of variables, collecting and organizing data, interpreting data in charts, tables, and graphics, analyze information, make predictions, and defend conclusions.
SC.5.N.1.2: Explain the difference between an experiment and other types of scientific investigation.
SC.5.N.1.3: Recognize and explain the need for repeated experimental trials.
SC.5.N.1.4: Identify a control group and explain its importance in an experiment.
SC.5.N.1.5: Recognize and explain that authentic scientific investigation frequently does not parallel the steps of "the scientific method."
SC.5.N.1.6: Recognize and explain the difference between personal opinion/interpretation and verified observation
Big Idea 2
SC.5.N.2.1: Recognize and explain that science is grounded in empirical observations that are testable; explanation must always be linked with evidence.
SC.5.N.2.2: Recognize and explain that when scientific investigations are carried out, the evidence produced by those investigations should be replicable by others.
