Slides for Week of April 27 - May 1

Hello everyone,

Hope you are all still hanging in there and keeping busy! 

As most of you already know, schools will now remain closed until at least May 31. That means we will continue our distance learning for the month of May. Having weekly face to face chat sessions will hopefully lift everyone's spirits and provide clarification for homework tasks. I have sent invitations for the Google Hangout to student emails. You can also find the links in the slideshow. 

Here are the slides for this week.  SLIDESHOW APRIL 27-MAY 1

Have a great week 😊

Mrs. DesRochers

Google Hangouts

A few of you have asked about Google chats and I am happy to say that we will have our first session next week. I apologize to those that were eager to begin sooner. Thankfully, I finally have my toddler on a regular napping schedule so I will run my chats weekly around 1pm.

The day of the week will be announced soon. I am currently discussing the weekly schedule with all other grade 5 and 6 teachers to make sure I do not overlap anyone. ☺

3D Measurement: Volume, Capacity, Mass Final Task

I have placed the Measurement Final/Consolidation Tasks in the Math folders in Google Drive. I have had a few questions about due dates. At this point in time, I will not be assigning due dates to any activities in all subject areas. I do not want to place any added pressure onto students and would like everyone to go at their own pace. Hope everyone is having a good week!

Next unit: Geometry 

Math info and Sum it Up sheets

Here are some summary sheets to help students learn the material for this week.

grade 5:
Selecting a Mass unit

grade 6:
Measuring Mass and Capacity  (focus on mass)


*Like always, the answer booklets will be put into the Google Math folders on Friday.
*Answers to the grade 6 Triangular Prisms task is on page 2 of the task.
*Culminating task for Volume/Capacity/Mass unit coming soon!

Wednesday math video

Here is a good video to help you practise conversion. Even though it says "primary" the speaker is doing junior level conversion between grams, kilograms and tonnes. 

Week of April 20-24

Here is the SLIDESHOW for this week. 

Quick Notes:
*There are no mass questions on the online Mathletics practice for grade 5 this week, so I have assigned some multiplication.
*A culminating task for Volume/Capacity/Mass will be added to the student math folders this week.
*Feedback has been provided to students in Google Docs for the students' Decimal/Fraction/Percent math tasks AND the first part of the book reports.
*Please complete the Easter journal response in the Religion folders if not done already. I will assess this week.

Grade 6 - Volume of Triangular Prisms

Since the Mathletics booklets do not have any questions about the volume of triangular prisms (grade 6 curriculum), I have attached a short worksheet to all of the grade 6 math folders in Google Drive.

The formula for volume of triangular prisms is:

V = base x length x height         OR          V = 1/2 x base x length x height
                      2

Epic - Online reading site

Hello all,

I have registered our class on Epic, which is a site where students can read or listen to a wide variety of books. I know most of you have already chosen your independent study novel, but you can use this site any way you'd like: find the next book you'd like to read, find a second book to read in your spare time, listen to a book with a sibling, etc...

Please click on the link below if you're interested. Also, reach out to me if you want me to add your brother or sister to our class roster 😉

EPIC BOOKS!

Introduction to VOLUME & CAPACITY

Anchor Charts to help with understanding

  

MATH info and SUM IT UP sheets

Students should focus on volume and capacity this week, then mass next week.
There are questions in the booklets that involve experiments, which are completely optional. Also, do not worry about questions that involve groups/partners.
This week, I will begin to look at the Google doc tasks from last unit (grade 5 Decimal menu word problems and grade 6 Frac/Dec/Perc Challenge - The Contest)

Here are some summary sheets to help students learn the material for this week.

Grade 5 - Relating Capacity to Volume
Grade 5 - Volume of Rectangular Prisms


Grade 6 - Measuring Mass and Capacity (focus on CAPACITY info this week)
Grade 6 - Volume of Triangular Prisms (Mathletics work booklet will focus, however, on volume of rectangular prisms - L x W x H)

Week of April 14-17 Slideshow

Here is this week's slideshow. 
This has also been sent to student emails.
*Some teachers might not update until tomorrow as today is technically a holiday.*

SLIDESHOW APRIL 14-17

Math update

I have sent the teacher/answer booklet for the Decimal/Fraction/Percent worksheets to all of the student's math folders in Google drive. Students can correct the practice work themselves. I have been asked by some how I expect the students to be completing PDF documents and the best way to complete these would be to answer the questions in a notebook or on paper while looking at the screen, just like you would complete textbook work at school. Printing is also an option but does take up a fair amount of paper.

The math activities that I will be collecting for assessment purposes are the Google doc tasks ("The Contest" for gr 6 and Decimal menu task - word problems for gr 5).

We will begin a new math unit next week: Measurement - Volume, Capacity and Mass

Venn Diagrams in Google Docs

Hello everyone,

I have begun looking at some of the independent novel studies and am seeing some really great information on all of your books!

On page 3, it asks you to create a 2-ring Venn Diagram. I find that the easiest way to do this is to go to Insert at the top bar, then Drawing. Here you can draw 2 circles that overlap, then insert your textboxes to input your information. I will attach a little video below to show you the step by step.

If there is another way you'd like to do this, for example, drawing on paper, taking a photo and inserting it into the doc, or just labelling 3 different sections Circle A, Overlap, and Circle B, feel free to do it any way that works best for you.

Adding and Subtracting Decimal Numbers

       What about adding or subtracting a whole number and a decimal number??

Week of April 6-10 Slideshow

Please click on this Slideshow to see what the teaching instructions are for the week. This has also been sent to all student emails.

Week of April 6-10th

Hello everyone,

I hope you are all continuing to be safe, healthy and happy!

The grade 5 and 6 teachers spoke this weekend and came up with a plan moving forward on how to present our teaching instructions to the students in a simple and straightforward way. So, every Monday, a slideshow will be sent to each student's email by their homeroom teacher. This slideshow will include a slide for every teacher that teaches your child in the morning and afternoon. Students can click on the slide for each teacher that they have and follow the instructions for the week. We will see how this works and iron out any glitches during the first week or two. Please continue to email me with any questions or concerns.

I will also attach the Google Slideshow to my blog every Monday so parents can have access too.

Hope everyone has a great week! 

Review: How to Read Decimals

There are two ways to read decimal numbers. The first is to simply read the digits off. In that case, 4.1 would be "four point one," 5.6 would be "five point six," and so on.

Your other option is to read off the numbers to the right of the decimal point as if they were a single integer, along with the rightmost place value you use. For example, 9.2 would be "nine and two tenths," 8.34 would be "eight and thirty four hundredths," and 9.235 would be "nine and two hundred thirty five thousandths."

Try these on your own using the second way:

0.7

6.1

2.89

0.03

5.09

2.376 (grade 6 only)

1.008 (grade 6 only)
