We will be having our Chapter 1 Math Test on Tuesday, September 18th. Chapter 1 has been about Place Value, Multiplication, and Expressions. We have 4 more lessons to cover this week, but it is important that students continue to practice skills at home that are difficult for them.

 

Multiplying by 1 digit and 2 digit numbers will be a very important skill in 5th grade, so if your student is struggling with that, please encourage them to practice at home. Some resources for additional practice are:

 

ThinkCentral: This is our Math curriculum website. I sent home a paper with student's usernames and passwords a couple weeks ago in their Friday Folders. IF they would like to re-watch any lesson they missed or struggled with, they can click Interactive Student Edition and watch the lesson as many times as necessary.

 

IXL: The skills I want students to practice will appear with a star next to them in the 5th Grade Math section when they sign in to IXL. If they get a problem wrong, please encourage them to read the explanation of how they got it wrong.

 

Please feel free to email me with any questions regarding their upcoming Math test or anything else.

 

Thanks!

 

Ms. Jessica
