Grade Course5 Math Week of April 27- May 1

Unit FocusThis week will focus on fraction and mixed number multiplication. (5.NF.4, 5.NF.B.6)**NOTE** On page 12 below, there is a calendar of fun/interesting math activities for each school day for the remainder of the year. Parents should keep this calendar as it will not be printed on future guides.

Day oneI-Ready: 15 minutes online instruction—login through CleverDaily Calendar Activity: April 27—bottom of packet (p. 12)

Today’s focus is on finding a non-unit fraction of a whole number using a set model. It is recommended students use coins or cereal or whatever they have to create the set and then model the fractional piece. **Suggestion** Flipgrid or Padlet for students to take pictures and share models.

Task: Find a Fractional Part of a Group: (see p. 3 below)….

Complete at least 1 page from the I-Ready at Home Packet

Day twoI-Ready: 15 minutes online instruction—login through CleverDaily Calendar Activity: April 28—bottom of packet (p.12)

Today’s focus is multiplying fractions with models. The task is two-part where first they shade a model then they create one then use words to explain the problem.

Task One: Multiplying Fractions with models (see bottom of p.4-5)

Complete at least 1 page from the I-Ready at Home Packet

Day threeI-Ready: 15 minutes online instruction—login through CleverDaily Calendar Activity: April 29—bottom of packet (p.12)

Today’s focus is on exploring various combinations of digits to create a fraction to make the statements true. These Open Middle tasks require some trial and error and thinking and reasoning that make these both fun and challenging. **Suggestion** Have students post their solution on Padlet or other online platform

Complete at least 1 page from the I-Ready at Home Packet

Day fiveI-Ready: 15 minutes online instruction—login through CleverDaily Calendar Activity: May 1—bottom of packet (p.12)

Today’s focus is on applying fraction and mixed number multiplication to solving contextual problems involving area.

Task: Word Problems involving area (see p. 9-10)

Online Task: Countdown to Fractions: Click here (https://nrich.maths.org/6564) to pick 6 cards with whole numbers or fractions. Use order of operations and any operation to hit the target number that the game generates. Use the recording sheet below to record your work. Complete at least three of games today.

Recording sheet: (see page 11 below) This activity is done online and students may use mental math strategies to solve but we are asking they record at least three of them on the sheet below. This would be another great task to post on Padlet or something similar.
