Dear
Parents,
In Social Studies, we are finishing up
the Roaring 20’s and Harlem Renaissance and will be exploring the causes and
consequences of the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl. As part of this unit, we will also be
studying Herbert Hoover’s economic policies and Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s ABC
Soup policies to put Americans back to work.
In Science, we will be beginning our Genetics and Microorganisms units.
In Reading, we will start our new ROAR
groups on October 22nd based on students’ current lexile levels and
will be focused on reading informational texts.
The students are continuing to plan and research for their informational
writing pieces and doing a fantastic job. 😊 It’s so fun to see them inspired and
enthusiastic about Writing!
We will have our first Unit 2 math quizzes in 5.1 on multiplying and dividing by the Powers of
Ten and in 6.1 on Ratios on Monday,
10/22. The current math standards for
Unit 2 are:
5.1 Math standards:
MGSE5NBT.1 Recognize that in a multi-digit number, a digit in one place represents 10 times as much as it represents in the place to its right and 1/10 of what it represents in the place to its left.
MGSE5.NBT.3 Read, write, and compare decimals to thousandths. a. Read and write decimals to thousandths using base-ten numerals, number names, and expanded form, e.g., 347.392 = 3 × 100 + 4 × 10 + 7 × 1 + 3 × (1/10) + 9 x (1/100) + 2 ´ (1/1000). b. Compare two decimals to thousandths based on meanings of the digits in each place, using >, =, and < symbols to record the results of comparisons.
MGSE5.NBT.4 Use place value understanding to round decimals up to the hundredths place.
MGSE5.NBT.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.
6.1 math standards:
MGSE6.RP.1 Understand the concept of a ratio and use ratio language to describe a ratio relationship between two quantities.
MGSE6.RP.2 Understand the concept of a unit rate a/b associated with a ratio a:b with b ≠ 0 (b not equal to zero), and use rate language in the context of a ratio relationship.
MGSE6.RP.3 Use ratio and rate reasoning to solve real-world and mathematical problems utilizing strategies such as tables of equivalent ratios, tape diagrams (bar models), double number line diagrams, and/or equations.
MGSE6.RP.3a Make tables of equivalent ratios relating quantities with whole number measurements, find missing values in tables, and plot the pairs of values on the coordinate plane. Use tables to compare ratios.
MGSE6.RP.3b Solve unit rate problems including those involving unit pricing and constant speed. MGSE6.RP.3c Find a percent of a quantity as a rate per 100 (e.g. 30% of a quantity means 30/100 times the quantity); given a percent, solve problems involving finding the whole given a part and the part given the whole.
MGSE6.RP.3d Given a conversion factor, use ratio reasoning to convert measurement units within one system of measurement and between two systems of measurements (customary and metric); manipulate and transform units appropriately when multiplying or dividing quantities. For example, given 1 in. = 2.54 cm, how many centimeters are in 6 inches?
