Today the math groups shifted based on the subtraction assessment students completed. In the purple group, students shared their survey data and conclusions with classmates in a gallery walk, asking questions and making comments. Students with strong subtraction skills continued data analysis work by looking at WNBA players' points per game, and analyzing the data. They should complete option 2 homework. Those students needing a little more practice with regrouping worked with base 10 blocks to practice making groups of tens from ones. They should complete the option 1 JUMP packet for homework.
The blue group reviewed place value in numbers up to the hundred thousands. This is in preparation for our work with base ten blocks as we review and solidify knowledge of addition and dive into subtraction with regrouping (also known as “borrowing”).
5th grade math
Science
Today we started our unit studying the world's oceans. Students cut apples into pieces to represent the fraction of the earth that is ocean (~3/4) vs. land (~1/4), habitable (1/8) vs. inhabitable (1/8), farmable (1/32), has fresh water (3/10,000), is productive coastal zones (1/16), or is a region of upwelling, with a large concentration of ocean life (3/4000). Students also made pie charts to represent this, underlying that most of our planet is covered by ocean, but only a small fraction supports large concentrations of life.

5th graders continued work on their 10,000s charts today, finding numbers all over the grid and labeling them. They created equations and solved for questions like, "What number is 12 rows below 1,257?"
