Our Current Unit for Grade 5: Geometry
Content: Classification of prisms and pyramids
- investigating 3D objects and 2D shapes, based on multiple attributes
- equal/congruent, parallel, perpendicular, adjacent, line of symmetry, vertex/vertices, bases, faces, edges
- describing and sorting quadrilaterals
- describing and constructing rectangular and triangular prisms
- identifying prisms in the environment
Ways to Support at Home:
- Name and notice shapes
- Include vocabulary like horizontal, vertical, adjacent, congruent, etc when possible
Previous Unit: Fractions and Decimals
Big Idea: Numbers describe quantities that can be represented by equivalent fractions.
Content (What skills we’ll specifically be working on):
- decimals to thousandths
- equivalent fractions
- whole-number, fraction, and decimal benchmarks
- Two equivalent fractions are two ways to represent the same amount (having the same whole).
- comparing and ordering of fractions and decimals
- addition and subtraction of decimals to thousandths
- estimating decimal sums and differences
- estimating fractions with benchmarks (e.g., zero, half, whole)
- equal partitioning
- addition and subtraction of decimals to thousandths
-
- estimating decimal sums and differences
- using visual models such as base 10 blocks, place-value mats, grid paper, and number lines
- using addition and subtraction in real-life contexts and problem-based situations
- whole-class number talks
Ways to support your child at home:
- Noticing where fractions and decimals are used
- Making connections to fractions and how they are used in daily life for cooking and baking.
- Making connections to decimals and how they are used in daily life for money.
- Practicing making equivalent fractions and decimals
- Playing Fraction War at home
- Completing the Boddle assignment on fractions
