Hello friends,

Today we are preparing for the Year End Test!

This is not meant to be a test that you "study" for; it is like Scantron--it is meant to be a measure how well you have acquired the skills presented in 5th grade math. I will score it, but it does not count for a grade for you. Rather, it is one of the factors that will contribute to determining your placement in math next year, so it is required and you need to do your best!

So the "Study Guide" for today is not like other study guides I've given you. It has the list of topics on the test and one example of each type of question. There are 26 questions total.

Here is what to do:

1. Read over the whole Study Guide. Select the 5 easiest questions for you and the 5 most challenging questions for you. Answer on the Form below. (This will help me determine what to spend time on during our Virtual Meeting).

2. Answer these 10 questions to the best of your ability. - TURN IN

3. Review all the topics and questions on your own. Write down anything you are confused about it and put in the comments!

Good luck, my wonderful students!

Hi Friends!! Today we are learning the parts of a circle -- it's pretty straight-forward. Each part as a different name, and the names help us describe and measure circles more accurately.

Here's what to do:
1. Watch the video about parts of a circle - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T471m6Hy_Zk

Circle
Semi-Circle
Center
Diameter
Radius
Chord
Circumference

I am so honored to celebrate 75 years of STM with you!

Hi Friends,

Today, I am introducing a new math concept that you will see SO MUCH of in higher math, 6th grade and beyond. It's called variables!

Vocab: (for your reference)
Variables: letters or symbols that stand in for unknown numbers.
Substitution: The process of replacing a variable with a number
Expression: A number model with no answer or equal sign
Equation: A number model with an answer.

Here is what to do:
1. Watch video and take notes (typed or handwritten) - TURN IN

2. Select HALF the problems from the worksheets below. Solve them. - TURN IN
(you can type it or print it and take a picture)

Comment time!
--Think of our menu - Burgers = $5, Fries = $4, Sodas = $3
--Write a number model (or expression) for how much it would cost for everyone in your family to order one of each of these.
--Solve that number model and tell me the total price!

Hi friends,

Here is where I would like you to turn in your handwritten work from the math test! - TURN IN
-Your work should be clearly labeled by Question number.
-Circle your final answers.
-There should be work and number models to justify every answer that requires calculation.

Test starts at 11. You have 2 hours. Do your best.

Hello Friends,

For this test, I will update this post to include a GoogleForms with the test questions on Thursday morning.

I will also hold a virtual Meet at 11:00 to start you off working on the test and to take questions that you have about the test. I will update the link here right before 11:00 am Thursday. To join the video meeting, click this link: https://meet.google.com/aum-nish-cpj

Notes: Do not use notes or any assistance materials besides your brains.
