Update for October 29

Dear Parents,

       This week on Monday we will be having our 5.1 math quiz on adding & subtracting decimals,
rounding decimals, and showing expanded form.  Our 6.1 math quiz will be over ratios,
equivalent ratios, and finding unit rate.  On Thursday we will have our Great Depression/Dust Bowl/
New Deal quiz.  Our FALL CENTERS will be on Wednesday from 10:15 to 11:05 behind the gym.
Our wonderful room parents have some fun activities planned!  In Writing our students will be
working on their flash drafts, then continuing their Informational papers.

        We are running a little low on Kleenex if you have the chance to send some in, we'd appreciate
it.  :)  Thanks in advance for all of your support!

      Jenny M-G

MGSE.5.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 × (1/100) + 2 × (1/1000).  MGSE.5.NBT.4 Use place value understanding to round decimals up to the hundredths place

MGSE5.NBT.7 Add, subtract decimals to hundredths, using concrete models, 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 

Math 6.1 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.

MGSE6.RP.3b Solve unit rate problems including those involving unit pricing and constant speed.
