  • February: What is Grade 5 studying?

    ELA:

    Module 2: Biodiversity in the Rainforest

    Unit Summary: In this module, students read to build knowledge about the rainforest and analyze the author's craft in narrative writing to build proficiency in writing first person narratives about the rainforest.

    Unit Tasks: 

    • Students research to determine ways they can help the rainforest and discuss their findings, including the challenges with implementing those ideas, in a Science Talk. 
    • Students read a new excerpt of The Most Beautiful Roof in the World aloud and write a literary analysis essay to answer the question: "What does the use of concrete language and sensory detail help you understand about the rainforest?"
    • Students plan and draft first person narratives to build out a scenario from The Most Beautiful Roof in the World. 

    Eureka Math:

    Module 4: Multiplication and Division of Fractions and Decimal Fractions 

    Students will…

    • use tape diagrams to model fractions as division
    • multiply any whole number by a fraction
    • multiply and divide fractions 

    Module 5: Addition and Multiplication with Volume and Area 

    Students will...

    • calculate volume
    • find the total volume of solid figures
    • find the area of rectangles with whole-by-mixed and whole-by-fractional number side lengths 
    • draw, analyze, and classify two-dimensional shapes 

    Common Core Learning Standards:

    5.OA.1 - Use parentheses, brackets, or braces in numerical expressions, and evaluate expressions with these symbols.

    5.OA.2 - Write simple expressions that record calculations with numbers, and interpret numerical expressions without evaluating them. For example, express the calculation "add 8 and 7, then multiply by 2" as 2 × (8 + 7). Recognize that 3 × (18932 + 921) is three times as large as 18932 + 921, without having to calculate the indicated sum or product.

    5.NBT.B.7 - Add, subtract, multiply, and divide decimals to hundredths, using concrete models or drawings and strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction; relate the strategy to a written method and explain the reasoning used.

    5.NF.B.3 - Interpret a fraction as division of the numerator by the denominator (a/b = a ÷ b). Solve word problems involving division of whole numbers leading to answers in the form of fractions or mixed numbers, e.g., by using visual fraction models or equations to represent the problem. For example, interpret 3/4 as the result of dividing 3 by 4, noting that 3/4 multiplied by 4 equals 3, and that when 3 wholes are shared equally among 4 people each person has a share of size 3/4. If 9 people want to share a 50-pound sack of rice equally by weight, how many pounds of rice should each person get? Between what two whole numbers does your answer lie?

    5.NF.B.4 - Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication to multiply a fraction or whole number by a fraction.

    5.NFB..5 - Interpret multiplication as scaling (resizing)

    5.NF.B.6 - Solve real world problems involving multiplication of fractions and mixed numbers, e.g., by using visual fraction models or equations to represent the problem.

    5.NF.B.7 - Apply and extend previous understandings of division to divide unit fractions by whole numbers and whole numbers by unit fractions.

    5.MD.A.1 - Convert among different-sized standard measurement units within a given measurement system (e.g., convert 5 cm to 0.05 m), and use these conversions in solving multi-step, real world problems.

    5.NF.B.6 - Solve real world problems involving multiplication of fractions and mixed numbers, e.g., by using visual fraction models or equations to represent the problem.

    5.MD.C.3 - Recognize volume as an attribute of solid figures and understand concepts of volume measurement.

    5.MD.C.4 - Measure volumes by counting unit cubes, using cubic cm, cubic in, cubic ft, and improvised units.

    5.MD.5 - Relate volume to the operations of multiplication and addition and solve real world and mathematical problems involving volume.

    5.G.B.3 - Understand that attributes belonging to a category of two-dimensional figures also belong to all subcategories of that category. For example, all rectangles have four right angles and squares are rectangles, so all squares have four right angles.

    5.G.B.4 - Classify two-dimensional figures in a hierarchy based on properties.

    5.MD.C.3 - Recognize volume as an attribute of solid figures and understand concepts of volume measurement.

    5.MD.C.4 - Measure volumes by counting unit cubes, using cubic cm, cubic in, cubic ft, and improvised units.
