This week, we will begin Chapters 5 & 6: Multiplying and Dividing Fractions. To start our week, students will complete a Skills Inventory to determine their readiness for the upcoming 6th grade math material. This will not be factored into their grade, but it will help me plan instruction for their class, as well as for each student's individual needs. Monday and Tuesday will mainly focus on converting between improper fractions and mixed numbers. Students will complete in class notes and practice activities with these skills. |
Wednesday and Thursday will center on practicing reciprocals of both proper fractions and mixed numbers. Students can expect some kind of review activity on Thursday over this week's content. The weekly quiz on Friday will cover improper fractions, mixed numbers, and reciprocals; these are all 2.0 skills for Chapters 5 & 6. The Ticket to Test will be handed out Wednesday and will be due Friday as discussed in the class syllabus. There are video examples of these 2.0 skills under the Resources tab for more explanation or practice.
