Class Details:
*** No live meetings for this class ***
Class Fees are $10 or 100 points per semester.
The big ideas in grade 5 include: developing fluency with addition and subtraction of fractions, developing understanding of multiplication and division of fractions in limited cases (unit fractions divided by whole numbers and whole numbers divided by unit fractions), extending division to two-digit divisors, developing understanding of operations with decimals to hundredths, developing fluency with whole number and decimal operations, and developing understanding of volume.
The mathematical work for grade 5 is broken into 8 units:
Finding Volume
Fractions as Quotients and Fraction Multiplication
Multiplying and Dividing Fractions
Wrapping Up Multiplication and Division with Multi-digit Numbers
Place Value Patterns and Decimal Operations
More Decimal and Fraction Operations
Shapes on the Coordinate Plane
Putting it All Together
Materials: Connecting cubes, ruler, yard stick, meter stick, colored pencils/crayons, construction paper, number cubes (dice), grid paper, access to printer for lessons and extra pages linked in lessons
Students will turn in 8 required assessments per semester. These required assessments alternate between investigating grade-level concepts by choosing an assignment from a choice board and turning in a curriculum check-in. Each choice board offers both online and pencil-and-paper options. The curriculum check-ins will be graded based on each student's progress in their individual curriculum. This new aspect of the class will encourage students to make progress through the grade-level class.
Anchor classes are asynchronous, teacher-led classes. Students do NOT have a live meeting. Daily work is provided, and the anchor teacher grades the final weekly assignment. Teachers provide biweekly videos and add instructional supports to each day's lesson. For more information about the curriculum and assignments, please visit the Braintree website.
