Hello fabulous 4th Grade Parents!

4.1 Math Curriculum (Now in 2nd Semester of 4th grade math!)

4.1: This week the students will be introduced to Unit 6: Geometry...

This week, your child will be introduced to their next unit: Geometry! This week's standard is 4.G.3. In this unit, your child will learn all about lines, angles, geometric shapes and their attributes, and lines of symmetry. We have a variety of choice board activities and hands-on stations/activities that will really help bring geometry to life! There will be no quiz this week!

4.1 Standards for Unit 6:

4.G.1 - Draw points, lines, line segments, rays, angles (right, acute, obtuse), and perpendicular and parallel lines. Identify these in two-dimensional figures.

4.G.2 - Classify two-dimensional figures based on the presence or absence of parallel or perpendicular lines, or the presence or absence of angles of a specified size. Recognize right triangles as a category, and identify right triangles.

4.G.3 - Recognize a line of symmetry for a two-dimensional figure as a line across the figure such that the figure can be folded along the line into matching parts. Identify line-symmetric figures and draw lines of symmetry.
​

5.1 Math Curriculum

5.1: This week we are starting our next unit, Unit 7: Geometry and the Coordinate Plane! 

Unit 7 is all about input/output tables, and then using these function tables to create ordered pairs (and then graph them!) We will start off the unit by focusing on input and output tables, and this will be a review since we practice them weekly in Calendar Math. Then, we will focus on plotting these points on coordinate planes as well as making real life connections to coordinate planes and map! Our standards this week will be 5G1 and 5G2. We will quiz on this week's standard on Friday, March 25th!​ ​ 

5.1 Standards for Unit 7:

5.OA.3- Generate two numerical patterns using two given rules. Identify apparent relationships between corresponding terms. Form ordered pairs consisting of corresponding terms from the two patterns, and graph the ordered pairs on a coordinate plane. For example, given the rule “Add 3” and the starting number 0, and given the rule “Add 6” and the starting number 0, generate terms in the resulting sequences, and observe that the terms in one sequence are twice the corresponding terms in the other sequence. Explain informally why this is so.

5.G.1- Use a pair of perpendicular number lines, called axes, to define a coordinate system, with the intersection of the lines (the origin) arranged to coincide with the 0 on each line and a given point in the plane located by using an ordered pair of numbers, called its coordinates. Understand that the first number indicates how far to travel from the origin in the direction of one axis, and the second number indicates how far to travel in the direction of the second axis, with the convention that the names of the two axes and the coordinates correspond (e.g., x-axis and x-coordinate, y-axis and y-coordinate).

5.G.2- Represent real world and mathematical problems by graphing points in the first quadrant of the coordinate plane, and interpret coordinate values of points in the context of the situation.

5.1 Homework for the Week:
  • Tuesday (3/22/16) - IXL  T3 & T4
  • Thursday (3/24/16) - 1 Redbird lesson & study for Friday's quiz on 5G1 & 5G2
  • Friday (3/18/16) - Weekly Standards Quiz on 5G1 & 5G2

Have a great week! ​

4.2 Math Curriculum (Now in 5th grade math!)


4.2: This week we are starting our next unit, Unit 2/3: Operations with Fractions! 

This week the kiddos will start their second (and third) unit(s) of 5th grade math! Units 2 and 3 have been combined into one unit since Unit 2 (decimals) is almost identical to Unit 5 in 4th grade math that we did at the beginning of the year. The only true difference was in 4th grade unit we go to the hundredths place, and in 5th grade unit we go to the thousands place (which we went ahead and did anyways since we knew we would have to do it again!). So, for Unit 2 we will review all that we learned about decimals in the beginning of the year, and then dive into Unit 3 which is multiplying and dividing decimals. Students always love the decimal units, so this will be such a fun way to wrap up our math units! Within the unit, we will work on reading, writing and expanding decimals, comparing decimals to the thousandths place, and adding/subtracting/multiplying/dividing decimals. Our standard this week will be 5NBT3a, reading, writing, and expanding decimals.  We will quiz on this week's standard on Friday, March 18th!​ 

4.2 Standards for Unit 2/3:

5.NBT.3  Read, write, and compare decimals to thousandths.
a. Read and write decimals to thousandths using base-ten numerals, number names, and expanded form, e.g., 347.392 = 3 × 100 + 4 × 10 + 7 × 1 + 3 × (1/10) + 9 × (1/100) + 2 × (1/1000).
b. Compare two decimals to thousandths based on meanings of the digits in each place, using >, =, and < symbols to record the results of comparisons.

Hello fabulous 4th Grade Parents!

4.1 Math Curriculum (Now in 2nd Semester of 4th grade math!)

4.1: This week we will test over Unit 5: Fractions and Decimals...

This week, your child will continue to review and be assessed over the standards below. Details about each standard for this unit are listed below. Your child has been taking notes on the standards throughout the week in their Math Journals. Please remember that these are wonderful study tools that we encourage the students take home (as long as they remember to bring them back!) The students have been taking very neat, detailed notes that I know will makes awesome study tools! Study guides were passed out last week! These weekly check-ins let us see how your kiddo is progressing with the standards as we move through the unit :). We will have the Unit 5 assessment over these standards on Wednesday, March 9th!

​The standards and homework for the week are listed below.

4.1 Standards for the Week:
4.NF.5 - Express a fraction with denominator 10 as an equivalent fraction with denominator 100, and use this technique to add two fractions with respective denominators 10 and 100. For example, express 3/10 as 30/100, and add 3/10 + 4/100 = 34/100.

4.NF.6 - Use decimal notation for fractions with denominators 10 or 100. For example, rewrite 0.62 as 62/100; describe a length as 0.62 meters; locate 0.62 on a number line diagram.

4.NF.7 - Compare two decimlas to hundredths by reasoning about their size. Recognize that comparisons are valid only when the two decimals refer to the same whole. Record the results of comparisons with the symbols >, <, or =, and justify the conclusions, e.g. by using a visual model.

4.1 Homework for the Week:
  • Monday  (3/7/16)  - Study for Wednesday's assessment!
  • Tuesday  (3/8/16)  - Study for tomorrow's assessment!
  • Wednesday (3/9/16) - Unit 5 Assessment

4.2 Math Curriculum (Now in 5th grade math!)


4.2: This week we are continuing with our current unit, Unit 1: Order of Operations! 

The kiddos have been so excited to dive into their first 5th grade unit, Order of Operations! Within the unit, we will work on using the order of operations (PEMDAS) when solving equations, writing expressions (numerical to written and vice versa) and evaluating them, understanding the solving equations with the powers of 10, three digit by two digit multiplication, and long division. Our standards this week will be 5NBT5 & 5NBT6, multiplication via the standard algorithm and division.  We will quiz on this week's standard on Friday, March 4th!​ 

4.2 Standards for Unit 1:

5.OA.1 - Use parentheses, brackets, or braces in numerical expressions, and evaluate expressions with these symbols.


5.OA.2- Write simple expressions that record calculations with numbers, and interpret numerical expressions without evaluating them.

5.NBT.1- Recognize that in a multi-digit number, a digit in one place represents 10 times as much as it represents in the place to its right and 1/10 of what it represents in the place to its left. 

5.NBT.2- Explain patterns in the number of zeros of the product when multiplying a number by powers of 10, and explain patterns in the placement of the decimal point when a decimal is multiplied or divided by a power of 10. Use whole-number exponents to denote powers of 10. 

5.NBT.5- Fluently multiply multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm (or other strategies demonstrating understanding of multiplication) up to a 3 digit by 2 digit factor.

5.NBT.6- Fluently divide up to 4-digit dividends and 2-digit divisors by using at least one of the following methods:  strategies based on place value, the properties of operations, and/or the relationship between multiplication and division. Illustrate and explain the calculation by using equations or concrete models.  (e.g., rectangular arrays, area models)

5.1 Math Curriculum

5.1: This week we are continuing with our current unit, Unit 5: 2D Figures and Unit 6: Volume and Measurement 

Units 5 and 6 will be taught in unison since we will already be talking about geometry when calculating their measurements. So much of the content already overlaps, so it simply makes sense :) We will start off the unit by focusing on the measurement standards, and then wrap up the unit with the geometry standards. Our standards this week will be 5MD5 (continuing to calculate volume). We will quiz on this week's standard on Friday, March 4th!​ ​ 

5.1 Standards for Units 5 & 6:

Unit 5:

​
5.G.3- 
Understand that attributes belonging to a category of two-dimensional figures also belong to all subcategories of that category.  For example, all rectangles have four right angles and squares are rectangles, so all squares have four right angles.

5.G.4- Classify two-dimensional figures in a hierarchy based on properties (polygons, triangles and quadrilaterals).

Unit 6:

5.MD.1- Convert among different-sized standard measurement units (mass, weight, length, time, etc.) within a given measurement system (customary and metric) (e.g., convert 5cm to 0.05m), and use these conversions in solving multi-step, real word problems.

5.MD.2- Make a line plot to display a data set of measurements in fractions of a unit (1/2, 1/4, 1/8).  Use operations on fractions for this grade to solve problems involving information presented in line plots.  

5.MD.3- Recognize volume as an attribute of solid figures and understand concepts of volume measurement.
            a.  A cube with side length 1 unit, called a “unit cube,” is said to have “one cubic unit” of volume,                 and can be used to measure volume.
            b.  A solid figure which can be packed without gaps or overlaps using n unit cubes is said to have                  a volume of n cubic units.

5.MD.4- Measure volumes by counting unit cubes, using cubic cm, cubic in, cubic ft, and improvised units.

5.MD.5- Relate volume to the operations of multiplication and addition and solve real world and mathematical problems involving volume.
            a.  Find the volume of a right rectangular prism with whole- number side lengths by packing it                      with unit cubes, and show that the volume is the same as would be found by multiplying the                    edge lengths, equivalently by multiplying the height by the area of the base.  Represent                          threefold whole-number products as volumes, e.g., to represent the associative property of                      multiplication.
           b.  Apply the formulas V = l × w × h and V = b × h for rectangular prisms to find volumes of right                rectangular prisms with whole-number edge lengths in the context of solving real world and                    mathematical problems.
           c.  Recognize volume as additive.  Find volumes of solid figures composed of two non-                                overlapping right rectangular prisms by adding the volumes of the non-overlapping parts,                        applying this technique to solve real world problems. 

5.1 Homework for the Week:
  • Tuesday (3/1/16) - IXL  Z24, Z25
  • Thursday (3/3/16) - 1 Redbird lesson & study for Friday's quiz on 5MD5
  • Friday (3/4/16) - Weekly Standards Quiz on 5MD5
  • Wednesday (3/9/16) - Unit 5/6 Assessment
