MATH TEST FRIDAY FEB 21

WE WILL BE FINISHING UP THIS UNIT BY MID-WEEK AND THEN DO SOME REVIEW BEFORE THE TEST ON FRIDAY FEB 21ST. THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW ISSUES RELATED TO ROUNDING OF DECIMALS AND DIVIDING OF DECIMALS, BUT FOR THE MOST PART WE HAVE PROGRESSED WELL THROUGH THIS UNIT. BELOW YOU WILL FIND A SUMMARY OF AREAS THAT STUDENTS NEED TO CONCENTRATE ON FOR THE TEST. PLEASE REMIND YOUR CHILD THAT IT IS IMPORTANT TO BE ABLE TO USE MATHEMATICAL THINKING AND TERMINOLOGY WHEN COMPLETING THE WORK. IT IS ALSO CRITICAL THAT THEY ARE ABLE TO FULLY COMMUNICATE THEIR THINKING USING A COMBINATION OF WORDS, MATHEMATICAL OPERATIONS AND CONCRETE MATERIALS.

GRADE FIVE'S SHOULD BE ABLE TO:

• WRITE A FRACTION OR MIXED NUMBER (1 3/100 =1.03) WHEN GIVEN THE DECIMAL 
• WRITE A DECIMAL FOR A FRACTION OR MIXED NUMBER (1 5/10 = 1.5)
• COMPARE DECIMALS USING < > OR = SIGNS
• ROUND DECIMALS TO A WHOLE NUMBER OR TO TENTHS
• USING ESTIMATION STRATEGIES TO MENTALLY ADD DECIMALS (CHARTS ARE UP IN THE ROOM THAT HELP THEM REMEMBER THE STRATEGIES)
• ADD AND SUBTRACT DECIMALS AND MULTIPLY AND DIVIDE DECIMALS BY 10, 100
• THERE WILL ALSO BE SEVERAL WORD PROBLEMS THAT WILL NEED MANY OF THE STRATEGIES AND OPERATIONS LISTED ABOVE

GRADE SIX'S SHOULD BE ABLE TO:

WRITE A DECIMAL FOR A FRACTION OR MIXED NUMBER (1 5/1000 = 1.005)

COMPARE DECIMALS USING < > OR = SIGNS

ROUND DECIMALS TO A WHOLE NUMBER OR TO TENTHS, HUNDRETH

USING ESTIMATION STRATEGIES TO MENTALLY ADD DECIMALS (CHARTS ARE UP IN THE ROOM THAT HELP THEM REMEMBER THE STRATEGIES)

ADD AND SUBTRACT DECIMALS  

MULTIPLY AND DIVIDE DECIMALS BY 10, 100,100 OR 0.01, 0.01,0.001 OR ANY WHOLE NUMBER

THERE WILL BE SOME PROBLEMS WITH MISSING DIGITS THAT THEY WILL NEED TO DECODE --FOR EXAMPLE
