Fifth Grade Math Curriculum

These are the curriculum objectives that will be tested on the Math EOG.

Math Goal 1 - Number Sense
The learners will develop number sense using 0.001-999,999 in addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
Math Goal 2 - Measurement
The learners will convert in metric and standard units, measure angles and determine elapsed time.
Math Goal 3 - Geometry
The learners will identify, describe, analyze, compare, and classify triangles and quadrilaterals by properties including sides, angles and diagonals.
Math Goal 4 - Data Analysis and Probability
The learners will collect, organize, analyze, and display data using various representations, including stem-and-leaf plots. Analyze data using measures of center (mode, median) and variability (minimum and maximum values, unusual data points, and range).
Math Goal 5 - Algebra
The learners will model, write and evaluate whole number equations and equations involving addition/subtraction of decimals and fractions.
Math Goal 6 - Problem Solving
The learners will Develop fluency in solving single and multi-step problems that arise in mathematics and in other contexts, building mathematical knowledge through problem solving.

Math Calendars

1st Quarter 2nd Quarter 3rd Quarter 4th Quarter

Math Matrix

Every morning we do a morning drill called the matrix. The students work to improve their scores on their basic multiplication facts. Top 10 Matrix Scores are given biweekly to encourage growth. Here are the current Top 10 times:

1 Drew Delbridge :56
2 Amy Steigerwalt 1:11
3 Karson Thompson 1:14
4 Caroline Stallings 1:24
5 Michael Butler 1:25
6 Emma Overton 1:27
7 Faris Qomaq 1:28
8 Mark Sommers 1:33
9 Elizabeth Robinson 1:35
10 Nina Wilder 1:43

All-Time Record - Zach Abdou 0:47 (2007/2008 school year)

Stellated Icosahedron

Objective 2.03 - Use of concrete and pictorial representations and appropriate vocabulary to compare and classify polygons and polyhedra. These are advanced stellated icosahedron that the class created using polyhedra patterns. This would be considered a level 4 activity.

Friday Math Tests

I give a cumulative review math test every Friday. This helps to review the skills that we have been learning throughout the year. It also helps parents recognize areas of weaknesses with their children so they can spend extra time helping them review in these areas. These tests get longer as the year progress and helps students prepare for the EOG.

Pretesting

I give pretests for each unit as well as a pretest at the beginning of each quarter. Any child making a 4 on the pretest will be placed in a more challenging unit. Either 6th grade work or Eclipse materials for enrichment.

Homework

There is math homework Monday through Thursday every week.
