SUMMER Fluency Practice Ideas for
5th Graders- going into 6th Grade
Goals: Maintain fluency of all multiplication, division, addition and subtraction facts.
Continue working in ALEKS.com and ZEARN.org
Roll a dice- multiply by 10, 100, etc.
Roll a dice- square the number, or practice a specific set of facts by just multiplying whatever they roll by a certain number
Roll 2 dice- multiply them together and tell how many more to get to the benchmark of 50 or 100.
Roll 4 dice- add 2 of them and multiply it by the sum of the other 2, or roll 3 dice – add 2 of them and multiply that sum by the number on the other dice.
Roll 2 dice give all 4 fact family problems (practice multiplication and division)
Multiplication Snap- 2 dice are rolled, or 2 cards turned over, 1st one to get the answer gets the point (More advanced students could make it 3 dice or cards)
Play War by multiplying or adding 2 or 3 or 4 dice rolls or card. Practice multiplying using partial products. i.e. 3 x 5 x 5 = 3 x 5 = 15 then 15 x 5 so 10 x 5 = 50 and 5 x 5 = 25 so 50 + 25 = 75.
“A Round of Dice”- Each player makes their own gameboard by writing numbers from 0 – 140. Counting by 10’s. They roll 2 dice and multiply then round the product to the nearest 10. The first player to cross off all of their numbers is the winner. (If a number has already been crossed off- play just continues to the next player)
Play Fractionator (War with fractions). Each player rolls 2 dice. To form fractions, put the lower numbers in the numerator and higher number in denominator. Decide if larger or smaller fraction wins. Student must vocalize answer. 3/4 is greater than 1/6.
