double math period on Friday and will take the test then.  Room 309 has a double math period on Thursday and will take the test then.  Due to the Unit test we will not take a multiplication quiz this week.  Students, however, should continue studying their multiplication facts as it will help them perform better on the Unit test, and fifth grade math in general\r\n\r\nThis week students will complete the final lesson of the Unit, which teaches factor strings and prime factorization.  We will spend the remainder of the week reviewing all of Unit 1.  In preparation for the test students should review all lessons in their math journals as well as all homework assignments and past quizzes. Please assist your students in preparing for their first math test of the year.\r\n\r\nSome parents and students are wondering if they may bring their math books home with them in the evenings, and the answer is yes!  Students should bring their Student Reference books home with them each evening in case they are having difficulties with an assignment.  In addition, students may bring home their Math Journals as well, and of course students should bring their Study Links home with them.   Finally, all students should have a composition book devoted to notes for math.  Students should also bring this home nightly to refer to as they complete their homework. \r\n\r\n If you have any questions, please e-mail me at <a href=\"mailto:mmwebb@cps.edu\">mmwebb@cps.edu</a> or call me at 773-535-0970.\r\n\r\nSincerely,\r\n\r\nMs. Webb\r\n<div> </div>\r\n  \r\n\r\nFifth Grade Math Weekly Overview for the week of September 21, 2009\r\n\r\nTo:  Fifth Grade Students and Parents\r\n\r\nFrom:  Ms. Webb\r\n\r\nThis week we will continue working on Unit 1 which focuses on factors, prime factorization, and square numbers.  We plan to cover lessons 1.6 through 1.8 this week which focus on prime and composite numbers, and squaring and unsquaring numbers.

will spend the remainder of the week reviewing all of Unit 1.  In preparation for the test students should review all lessons in their math journals as well as all homework assignments and past quizzes. Please assist your students in preparing for their first math test of the year.\r\n\r\nSome parents and students are wondering if they may bring their math books home with them in the evenings, and the answer is yes!  Students should bring their Student Reference books home with them each evening in case they are having difficulties with an assignment.  In addition, students may bring home their Math Journals as well, and of course students should bring their Study Links home with them.   Finally, all students should have a composition book devoted to notes for math.  Students should also bring this home nightly to refer to as they complete their homework. \r\n\r\n If you have any questions, please e-mail me at <a href=\"mailto:mmwebb@cps.edu\">mmwebb@cps.edu</a> or call me at 773-535-0970.\r\n\r\nSincerely,\r\n\r\nMs. Webb\r\n<div> </div>\r\n  \r\n\r\nFifth Grade Math Weekly Overview for the week of September 21, 2009\r\n\r\nTo:  Fifth Grade Students and Parents\r\n\r\nFrom:  Ms. Webb\r\n\r\nThis week we will continue working on Unit 1 which focuses on factors, prime factorization, and square numbers.  We plan to cover lessons 1.6 through 1.8 this week which focus on prime and composite numbers, and squaring and unsquaring numbers.
