    5th Grade Math

    Room 406

    Welcome to 5th Grade Math at Inspiration Mountain School. I am looking forward to a great year of learning with my students. This year, in math, we will be using the ¼â½ÐÊÓƵapp adopted curriculum iReady Math for the Classroom, as well as other district adopted websites for students' learning.

    Our year together will consist of the following studies:

    Quarter 1

    • Whole Number Operations and Applications: Volume, Multiplication, Division
    • Decimals and Fractions: Place Value, Addition and Subtraction of Fractions

    Quarter 2

    • Decimals and Fractions: Place Value, Addition and Subtraction of Fractions
    • More Decimals and Fractions: Multiplication and Division

    Quarter 3

    • More Decimals and Fractions: Multiplication and Division
    • Measurement, Data, and Geometry: Converting Units, Using Data, Classifying Figures

    Quarter 4

    • Measurement, Data, and Geometry: Converting Units, Using Data, Classifying Figures
    • Algebraic Thinking and the Coordinate Plane

    Classwork and ¼â½ÐÊÓƵappwork:

    Students will be given time in class each day to work on their practice work, center work, and start their homework. Students will be required to show their work on all problems that they solve in 5th grade math. Students might finish their homework in class, but if they don't, they will be asked to finish it at home for homework. ¼â½ÐÊÓƵappwork is not part of the students' final grade, but all homework and class work must be completed before a student is eligible for a retake on a test/quiz. If a student would like to retake a test or quiz, they will work with the teacher on understanding their mistakes, and they will be required to make corrections and submit a retake contract by filling out the Google Form that students will find in their Canvas Math Class. They will also need to send Mr. Helmick a Canvas inbox message when the Google Form is compled.

    Students should be practicing their Multiplication Math Facts each night for at least 5 minutes. It is very important that students learn and know their Multiplication Facts from their rote memory, as this is the basis for all math that is taught in 5th Grade.
