Math

We will review rounding and comparing decimals and start working on our decimals unit on add, subtract, multiply and divide decimals to hundredths.

This week for our MATH WIGS (Wildly Important Goals), students should practice multiplication facts on 5s, 6s, and 7s and complete Fact Families Booklet as their homework on Mondays if they didn't finish required sections in class. Students will have multiplication facts quizzes on 5,6, and 7 this week. Please practice facts with your child to help them to reach their goals. We will make Fortune Tellers to practice Multiplication 0-12 in class.  Students can practice on multiplication.com or Math Drill App. (Please see the link, "5th grade Math Resources," on my blog.)

 FACT FAMILIES BOOKLET & Fortune Teller Made 2-12 are due on Tuesday, October 3 

 Below is the schedule for assessments:
5th Grade Goal:
80% of 5th Graders will achieve 80% accuracy of their Multiplication Table 0-12.

 Wk #1: assess 0,1,2
Wk #2: assess 3,4
Wk #3: assess 5,6,7
Wk #4: assess 8,9,10
Wk #5: assess 11, 12
Wk #6: assess 0-12 (mixed up)

Science 

This week, students will learn about how landforms are made when a combination of geologic events occur, such as uplift and erosion, which form a canyon. Students will build their 3 D Modeling with 15 land formations and explain/present forces that caused the landforms to be created in class. Students can use any materials to create their 15 formations listed. Students can use modeling Magic or  clay for formations, marbles for glaciers, green tissue papers or  green paper crinkle for lands, and etc.

Donations Needed for this project: 

Model Magic (White)      or    Modeling Clay (Green & Brown) 


 Below is an example made by Ms. Chiang: 
 

3-D Modeling Formations' Project Rubric


Land formation accurately labeled
Characteristics of Formation accurately shown for the 3-D formations
Effort: Detailed, neat, organized
Color:
Rough Draft—form a plan
  1. Glacier


On a scale of 1-10 how much would you give yourself and why?
Color needs to be realistic and true to life.
Draft should be done with detail and color.
  1. Arch


  1. Butte


  1. Canyon


  1. Channel


  1. U-Shaped Valley


  1. V-shaped valley


  1. Volcano


  1. Peninsula

Total points possible:


____/15
_____/15
______/10
_______/5
______/5
    Total Project Points:________/50 points
