Final 5^th Grade Math Homework - looks like a lot, but it's not so bad...

Assigned 6/13/12, due tomorrow

Write me a 1-2 page, typed or neatly handwritten letter about your year in math. Here’s a reminder of what we studied this year:

Place Value: staircase, Marcy Cook Smart Board activities, etc.

Addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division: algorithm and other strategies

Geometry: shape names, volume, perimeter, area, angles, etc.

Charts, Graphs, “Growth Patterns”

Word problems (i.e. “problems of the week”)

Fractions, Decimals, and Percents (Show Me 1/2)

Probability (PIG)

Mental math, mental math, and more mental math

We did homework every night, took notes, participated in mini-lessons, did worksheets, worked with partners, worked alone, raised our hands, came to the Smart Board, took tests, and much more.

Tell me what you liked and didn’t like, what was hardest and easiest, and what goals you have for next year. I recommend that you cross things off this sheet after you write about them, so you can make sure you got to more than just one or two.
