Update for March 26

         Dear Parents,

         Can you believe we are in the last week before spring break/!  I know all of us, especially the students, are looking forward to it.  :)  Of course, we have a wonderful week of learning still to go so please make sure your students are getting to bed and school on time and be on the look out for signed papers and homework.  When we return from the break on April 9th, the Study Jams science and math review sign off sheets will be due!  We have been giving the students some time in class as well to help them review all the related standards.  If you have any interest in donating nonperishable snack items (pretzels, Goldfish, granola bars) in sealed packages for the Milestones testing days, you can send them in this week or the week of April 9th.  Thank you in advance!

         In Math, we are finishing our unit on Volume and will have a test this Friday, March 30th.  A study guide for homework will go home today.  In Science, we are continuing our exploration of physical and chemical changes and will have a related quiz this Friday.  In Writing, we are working on an Extended Constructed Response (ECT) where the students will be prompted to write the own story based on the narrative story they have been given.

       Thank you as always for your support!

       :)  Jenny M-G

MGSE5.MD.4 Measure volumes by counting unit cubes, using cubic cm, cubic in, cubic ft, and improvised units. MGSE5.MD.5 Relate volume to the operations of multiplication and addition and solve real world and mathematical problems involving volume. a. Find the volume of a right rectangular prism with whole- number side lengths by packing it with unit cubes, and show that the volume is the same as would be found by multiplying the edge lengths, equivalently by multiplying the height by the area of the base. Represent threefold whole-number products as volumes, e.g., to represent the associative property of multiplication. b. Apply the formulas V = l × w × h and V = b × h for rectangular prisms to find volumes of right rectangular prisms with whole-number edge lengths in the context of solving real world and mathematical problems.  c. Recognize volume as additive. Find volumes of solid figures composed of two nonoverlapping right rectangular prisms by adding the volumes of the non-overlapping parts, applying this technique to solve real world problems. Science:

S5P1. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to explain the differences between a physical change and a chemical change. a. Plan and carry out investigations of physical changes by manipulating, separating and mixing dry and liquid materials. Prioritized b. Construct an argument based on observations to support a claim that the physical changes in the state of water are due to temperature changes, which cause small particles that cannot be seen to move differently. c. Plan and carry out an investigation to determine if a chemical change occurred based on observable evidence (color, gas, temperature change, odor, new substance produced). Prioritized

Designing levees in the STEM lab

Our engineering teams did a wonderful job of budgeting their money in choosing what supplies to buy to build their levees, working together to build and revise their levees, and discussing their successes and failures in withstanding the storm surge!  Great job, 5th graders!!

Update for March 9

Tiger Time UNIT 6 Prioritized Standard:MGSE5.MD.5.c: Relate volume to the operations of multiplication and addition and solve real world and mathematical problems involving volume. Recognize volume as additive. Find volumes of solid figures composed of two non-overlapping right rectangular prisms by adding the volumes of the non- overlapping parts, applying this technique to solve real world problems. Understand concepts of volume and relate volume to multiplication and division. This standard calls for students to extend their work with the area of composite figures into the context of volume. Students should be given concrete experiences of breaking apart (decomposing) 3-dimensional figures into right rectangular prisms in order to find the volume of the entire 3-dimensional figure. Vocabulary: -Volume -area -decompose -cubic units * Activities in Red specifically address prioritized standard Songs: ·         https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZxXUb9iAZc ·         https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GEwheYZX1-s Videos: ·         https://learnzillion.com/lesson_plans/9043/ (cubic) ·         https://learnzillion.com/lesson_plans/6483/ ·         https://learnzillion.com/lesson_plans/22594/ ·         https://learnzillion.com/lesson_plans/22727/ ·         https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jht_0IduRPc (l x w x h) ·         https://learnzillion.com/lesson_plans/7934/ ·         https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uo0bwDjg12E ·         https://learnzillion.com/lesson_plans/22589/ ·         https://learnzillion.com/lesson_plans/3120/ ·         https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQH1KL0xCfc ·         https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPwXYnBQLoQ ·         https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYmM33t6J1o (non-overlapping) Figures Broken Down: https://illuminations.nctm.org/activity.aspx?id=4095 https://msu.edu/~stemproj/simulations%20-%20volume.html Games: https://www.splashmath.com/geometry-games-for-5th-graders https://www.ixl.com/math/grade-5/volume-of-cubes-and-rectangular-prisms https://www.mathgames.com/skill/5.120-volume-of-cubes-and-rectangular-prisms http://www.xpmath.com/forums/arcade.php?do=play&gameid=118 https://www.math4children.com/Grade4/quizzes/Geometry/volume%20of%20cube/Geometry%20-%20Volumes/ https://www.onlinemathlearning.com/volume-games.html Activities: -Use cubes to create rectangular prisms with class.

Converting units of measurement for Unit 6 math

MGSE5.MD.1 Convert among different-sized standard measurement units (mass, weight, length, time, etc.) within a given measurement system (customary and metric) (e.g., convert 5cm to 0.05m), and use these conversions in solving multi-step, real word problems.

Discovering the "Ring of Fire" using earthquake and volcanic eruption data

     

S5E1. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to identify surface features on the Earth caused by constructive and/or destructive processes. a. Construct an argument supported by scientific evidence to identify surface features (examples could include deltas, sand dunes, mountains, volcanoes) as being caused by constructive and/or destructive processes (examples could include deposition, weathering, erosion, and impact of organisms)

  

     The students did an amazing job of plotting the latitude and longitude points of each earthquake and volcanic eruption assigned to their group.  After noticing the patterns, they hypothesized about where the edges of continental plates might be and discovered the "Ring of Fire".

Geometry Resources for Unit 5 math

MGSE5.G.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. *PRIORTIZED:MGSE5.G.4 Classify two-dimensional figures in a hierarchy based on properties (polygons, triangles and quadrilaterals).
