2nd Nine Week Standards
The Post Test for the 2nd nine weeks will be Monday 12/20. We have studied Fractions and are into Multiplying and Dividing Fractions now. We have started parts of the Data section also as a review through other subjects of study. This is a difficult area for students in fifth grade. We will review fractions continuously throughout the entire year.
Please continue to use the Skills Tutor at Home. Most students are finishing up the assignments posted there. Individual assignments will follow when all students have completed the first round.
Fractions
- Find equivalent fractions and simplify fractions
- Compare fractions and justify the comparison
- Add and subtract common fractions with unlike denominators

- Use variables to represent unknown quantities in algebraic expressions
- Substitute of numbers for the unknown in simple algebraic expressions
Data
