Whole Numbers, Decimals, Fractions, Geometry, Problem Solving
We will be working on adding, subtracting, comparing, and ordering decimals during the first half of the grading period.
We will be introducing multiplication and division of decimals during the second half of the six weeks.
We will also continue working on estimation, algebra and problem solving (relating these topics to decimals).
Geometry involves the study of shapes and angles. It is very vocabulary intensive compared to other units of math.
We will be learning about lines, angles, and shapes.
We will also be finding the perimeter and area of various shapes including: squares, rectangles, triangles, circles, and irregular shapes.
We will conclude the geometry unit with a study of 3-dimensional shapes including: volume, surface area, and nets.
We will begin by learning about prime numbers and prime factorization of numbers.
Next, we will find the greatest common factor and least common multiple of pairs of numbers.
Then we will learn how to write equivalent fractions, as well as, how to simplify fractions.
Finally, we will learn how to add, subtract, multiply, divide, compare, and order fractions and mixed numbers with like and unlike denominators.
We will spend about half the time working on analyzing and creating graphs and charts.
The remainder of the time will be spent on reviewing for the CRCT test.
