 Fifth Grade Math Weekly Overview for the week of October 12, 2009

Due to Veterans day cancelling school on Monday, and our Hispanic Heritage month activities altering our schedule on Thursday and Friday, we will only have math two days this week.  As a result, there will NOT be a quiz this week.  On Tuesday and Wednesday of this week, we plan to cover lesson 2.4, which focuses on addition and subtraction word problems.  Specifically, students will continue mastering multi-digit addition and subtraction, and reviewing place value.  Students, however, should continue studying their multiplication facts since multi-digit multiplication will begin next week. 

 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.

This week we will finish studying Unit 1, and review for the Unit test.  Room 301 has a 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

This 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.

Some 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. 

 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.

To:  Fifth Grade Students and Parents

From:  Ms. Webb

This 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. This week to insure that all students know their multiplication facts solidly, students will take a second timed multiplication quiz on Thursday.  Please assist your students in studying their multiplication facts, as this is a prerequisite skill for fifth grade math.

 Some 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.  I am looking forward to meeting all of you this Wednesday at Open House, see you there!
