5th Grade Math
Expectations:
5th Grade Math meets for 80 minutes daily. Students are expected to show up to class on time, be prepared with materials and homework when applicable, participate in class discussions and lessons, and work hard to reach their full potential.
All assignments including homework, tests, and classwork should be properly labeled with: Name, Date, Assignment (example Page 201 #1-10), and Learning Goal.
Work MUST BE SHOWN on assignments. Work can be displayed by showing the steps taken to calculate, a table or a chart, or a visual model. The final answer should be circled and labeled. Work should be neat and organized at all times to make it easy for other students and teachers to read.
Grading:
In 5th grade, student grades are continually added to Skyward. Students can check their grades at any point during the year.
Students will also be given the opportunity to retake quizzes and gain points back.
Math Club:
Math Club is held every Tuesday after school from 3-3:30 pm in my classroom. It provides students with extra help, additional practice for challenging concepts, games that involve math, time to complete or make up homework assignments, or a chance to use computers/tablets. Math Club in the past has been a successful way to get students involved in math while having fun with their classmates. Also, the small group (sometimes 1:1) environment will carry over into the classroom and boost the student's confidence and therefore perform better during class time.
