Week at a Glance:
In Math:
We are still in our Adding and Subtracting Fractions unit. We will continue with our practice of adding and subtracting fractions with unlike denominators. This week we will introduce improper fractions and mixed numbers and how to convert them. We will have a quiz this week over Improper Fractions and Mixed Numbers.
In Science:
We are starting our unit on Weather and Climate. The students will be working in groups to create a weather map. We will have a short quiz this week over weather and climate. There are no new vocabulary words for this week. Students will have a review vocabulary quiz on Friday over weeks 5-10.
