Welcome to the second quarter of 5th grade!
Congratulations to 5KP on the results from the latest math test. The class earned a median score of 95% and 15 out of 18 students showed improvement (with one student maintaining his previous high score). Four of the students that showed improvement actually earned their first 100% score for the year.
In the classroom we will keep two charts for math; one of which I have had in previous years; the 100% chart and another which I believe is more relevant for most of the class and achievable for all students; an improvement chart. This will be based on the results of their last test only encouraging the student to try and better their previous score. Of course, students should not feel discouraged if they cannot better their score and it is already in the 90th percentile anyway, this could be due to a number of factors and you cannot improve on 100%! This chart is mainly for the students who are often earning in the 70%-90% range and just need a bit of encouragement.
Well done 5KP for doing so well in our geometry unit.
Good luck with our next unit. Remember that starting today, you are all on the 100% chart, you start with a ‘4’…it is up to you what you do from here but by revising over each lesson at home you have a better chance of success next time around.
Unit 4 is on Division and the skills covered in unit four include:
*divide decimal numbers by whole numbers with no remainders
*write and solve number sentences with variables for division number stories
*find the quotient and remainder of a whole number divided by a 1-digit whole number
* find the quotient and remainder of a whole number divided by a 2-digit whole number
*make magnitude estimates for quotients of whole and decimal numbers divided by whole numbers
*interpret the remainder in division number stories
*determine the value of a variable; use this value to complete a number sentence
*know place value to hundredths

Hi there Mrs. Power,
Do you know I check your blog nearly every day? Great pics of UN Day – and ‘Woo Hoo’ on the geometry test:-) Jonathan Chambers was in my room while I was checking the other day and he was like “Wow – she got the Google calendar on – and changed it to local time? – give me her blog address!” Ha ha, you’re famous all over the school now.
