Math


We started our year in math by reviewing fourth grade math concepts. Since then, we’ve been working on our first chapter of fifth grade concepts: number sense, algebraic concepts, and functions. We discussed and practiced prime factors and factor trees, learned about powers and exponents, reviewed order of operations (PEMDAS), and shared problem-solving techniques. Our algebraic concepts included using variables, equations, and functions. We will be wrapping up this unit later this week. There will typically be one page of math homework each night, meant for reinforcement of the day’s concepts. Students should be bringing home their math binders each night, since that day’s notes and homework sheet are inside.



The fifth graders are sharing problem-solving strategies in small groups.
