On this page, you will find the assignments that we are working on. During this first week, we will be focusing on building our classroom environment and preparing our minds for 6th grade math in these ways:
Personality study: Much of what we do is accomplished in collaborative groups. Students will be learning about their own and their classmates' learning and collaboration styles through True Colors Personality activity. This will raise our awareness of our own style of communication and working, as well as celebrate the diversity that each student brings to the group.
Number Talks: Each day we will begin class with a short number discussion. I will pose a mathematical expression or graphic for students to consider using mental math. We will share answers and strategies. The practice develops mental math development, communication in both describing our thinking and understanding another' strategies.
