5th Grade Math this week....
- October Number Corner-- Our carrots are looking pretty scary! Only one more weekend to see how they hold up. For November Number Corner starting next week, we will be looking at how to classify triangles based on lengths of sides and angles. in addition we will be looking at triangles on a coordinate grid to learn about ordered pairs. Finally, we will also be using the metric system and comparing how meters relate to centimeters, decimeters, decameters and kilometers.
- Unit 2 in our Bridges Curriculum is almost completed. Classes took a unit test today or will complete/finish it on Monday. Then we will end up our unit by taking a few days to look at GCF and LCM work before we jump into Unit 3 where we will be looking at whole numbers and decimal place values.
