This is a weekly assignment that reviews their 5th grade math skills and has a logic puzzle at the end. Each of the 5 puzzles is worth 10 points and the final logic response is another 10 points for a total of 60 points.
During week 1, we completed the week of Inspirational Math by Jo Boaler. There were various videos designed to encourage students to try their hardest in math class and understand that they too can be "math people".
Students are given a packet that they must complete. It involves creating an architectural drawing of a city that is described in the paperwork provided. Students are provided dimensions and must draw out the city and calculate areas of various buildings within the city. They are able to name it and determine the population.
In week 2, we begin our studies of Geometry. We start with 2 - dimensional figures. This includes discovering the formulas for calculating area for squares, rectangles, triangles, parallelograms, trapezoids and composite figures. In week 3, we move from two-dimensions to three. We will use our knowledge of finding the areas of 2 dimensional shapes to be able to find the surface areas of prisms.
Students completed their first formal quiz on 2-D geometry.
Review of 2D Geometry with some 3D Geometry.
Students displayed their knowledge of the vocabulary that we have used throughout the geometry unit. Students were also permitted to complete corrections to their quiz to earn half of the credit back.
Students will be given 1 week to complete quiz corrections.
A quiz on 2D geometry.
Corrections for Quiz 1: 2D Geometry
Students complete 12 problems about 3D Geometry
Corrections for Quiz 2: 3D Geometry
We begin our studies of Number Theory. We start with Factoring numbers. This leads into Prime Factorization of numbers which is used to discover the "DNA" of numbers. This will also allow us to find GCF and LCM. We will learn various methods of finding GCF and LCM and using Prime Factorization.
Video on Ladder Method - Used to find GCF and LCM
We have entered our third unit of Ratios.
This is a summary of our lessons to date and will ensure student understanding. These are due Friday 11/9/2018.
This escape room allows for students to review Unit 4: Fractions. More specifically, dividing fractions.

Students will write and evaluate numerical expressions, with and without grouping symbols, involving whole-number exponents.
Students will write, read and evaluate algebraic expressions.
Students will apply the properties of operations to generate equivalent expressions without exponents.
Students will identify when two expressions are equivalent and justify with mathematical reasoning.
Below is the vocabulary that you will need to understand in order to obtain success in this unit.
