Are you looking for more MATH CHALLENGE??! READ ON!!

All, 

If your 5th grader is feeling driven to a more challenging math course this year and for next year, then keep reading. 

I have been collaborating with 6th grade math teacher Mr. Chase and G/T teacher Mr. Giampetruzzi.  

Here are some ways to work towards accepting math challenge: 

*Course 1 math book aligning with standards

Here is a list of topics that are covered in 6th grade which would be expected that they know to go into 7th grade. Mr. Chase 

Percent of a number 

converting mix numbers to improper fractions 

Multiplying and dividing mix numbers

Solving 1 step equations with negatives

Graphing inequalities 

Solving one step inequalities

The volume of rectangular prisms and triangular prisms

The surface area of rectangular prisms   

*Logic puzzles in maroon folder

*Murder Mystery Puzzles 

*Birdseed.tv is another resource 

 **(This may be completed during WIN, when math work is completed, or at home. )** 

Happy to keep the options open for curious students.  Because this is an option, it remains their role to seek out the specific assistance on this material if unable to achieve independently.  ALL 5th grade students will take the end of year 5th gr. Benchmark test, as one of the qualifiers for the next level. 
**ALSO, there are math GIZMOS on explorelearning.com students can access.** 

Thank you for your support and have a wonderful weekend!
Best,
