WHAT'S NEW IN CONTENT...
Math 5: students read, write, compare, and round decimals, use whole-number exponents to denote powers of ten, make connections to work with multiples. They will extend strategies and methods of recording computation with whole numbers, apply their understandings of properties of operations and place value to add and subtract decimals to hundredths using concrete models, drawings, and written methods.
Math 5/6: students apply and extend previous understandings of division to divide unit fractions by whole numbers and whole numbers by unit fractions, use visual fraction models and the relationship between multiplication and division to make sense of division word problems as well as create their own word problems. Additionally they will apply understandings about fractions to represent and interpret a data set of measurements in fractions of a unit using a line plot.
Reading: use close reading strategies to summarize two or more main ideas and make inferences,and develop background knowledge and build essential vocabulary about the American Revolution. Utilize multiple texts on the American Revolution are read to analyze roles and viewpoints of individuals in order to integrate information across texts. Students listen to a speech and summarize points a speaker makes supported by reasons and evidence. St
Science: examine the components of a well-designed investigation to identify physical properties of similar substances. Students are provided with known/familiar, yet similar looking, substances and identify and describe unique physical properties that can be used to differentiate between similar substances using qualitative and quantitative measurements.
Social Studies:examine reactions of colonists to changes in British Royal Government policies., analyze key events, people, and issues to better understand causes, costs, and benefits of declaring independence. Students engage in historical investigations to develop deep understandings of differing perspectives that were held by individuals and groups during this time period,
