1/26 Tuesday

Fraction Quiz on lessons 1-11

*Science Sheet of Force

*Unit 9 Test Forces and Motion

     This week in math we will continue our work on fractions. Students will take a quiz on Tuesday. The quiz will cover everything we have done from lessons 1-11. After the quiz we will begin learning how to compare fractions. Students will be expected to compare fractions using visual fraction models, such as number lines, tape diagrams, and area models. Students will also learn how to compare using benchmark fractions. For example "I know that 2/8 is less than 3/4 because 2/8 is smaller than 1/2 and 3/4 is larger than 1/2. We will also learn how to give fractions with different denominators like denominators using multiplication and division. 

     We are now back on track with our i-Ready homework. This week students need to complete the Teacher Assigned Lesson, Identify Points, Lines, and Rays. The score students earn on this lesson will be entered into the grade book. Students will also need to complete another lesson from their learning path. If students complete the two lessons in under 40 minutes they should begin another lesson from their learning path. 

     This week in science we will continue our discussion on weathering and erosion. It is important that students understand the difference between weathering (the process of earth's landforms being broken or worn down) and erosion (the process of the pieces of worn down and broken rock being moved to another location). 

Monday: Math: i-Ready: Complete 40 minutes Teacher Assigned lesson Identify Points, Lines and Rays plus a lesson from learning path (due Friday). Complete sheet on fractions.

Tuesday: Science: Complete sheet on Weathering and Erosion

Wednesday: Math: Complete lesson 12 sheet

Thursday: Math Complete lesson 13 sheet
