Week of November 28 - December 2, 2016

Mighty Falcons,

Hope you guys had a blessed Thanksgiving break with friends and family. This week we will continue to multiply rational numbers and be introduced to dividing rational numbers.  We are one week away from our District Benchmark #1 so make sure you are alert so that you do not miss out. Remember the holidays are around the corner, so it only means you need to work harder so that you do not get distracted. 

Remember to continue to go over your INB notes and ask for help when in need. Continue to come during recess for extra help and let me know if you need to use the internet to complete your Agilemind online assignments.

Check out the following videos to get ahead of the game.  

Reminders:

District Benchmark  #1 

Krispy Kreme Doughnut $ due by November 30.

Math Christmas Ornament due by November 28.

Agilemind Online Assignment Due by November 27 at 9:59pm.

Try your best to be at school everyday! Our school needs to be at first place again :)

Extra Credit:

Create a unique math game about multiplying fractions. Have a minimum of 20 questions typed and make sure it is extra neat. I will not accept any sloppy projects. 

The following pictures show our students multiplying fractions by using areas models. Students represent fractions by using a cake, frosting, and sprinkles. Students had a great time applying the math in their cakes.

Week of November 8-11, 2016

Mighty Falcons,    
Welcome to the 3rd Six Weeks! Half of the school year is almost over and I must admit I am very proud of your hard work and dedication. There are still a few of you that need to work a little harder but we know you will get there with a lot of  guidance and positive direction.

This week will be a short one since there are no classes on Monday. We will begin to explore percent proportions and move on to multiplying rational numbers. Make sure you are present and alert so that you don't miss out. Remember to continue going over your interactive notebooks, Agilemind packets and online slides. Come for help during recess if need be, do not wait until the last minute because you will begin to feel overwhelmed.

 Extra Credit Opportunity:
Create a fraction, decimal, and percent game. You can use a game board idea or any other game you enjoy. Type your questions out with a minimum of 20 questions in a game card format and make sure everything is in order and extra neat. Include Instructions.  BE CREATIVE! BE EXTRA CREATIVE!  I don't want any  messy projects and be sure to keep the game in a compact manner. I will not accept any sloppy work!

Use the following videos to prepare for our upcoming lesson. Make sure you take notes on your Interactive Notebooks.
