Math
Unit 6 focuses on solving word problems with decimals, fractions and whole numbers. Students are required to write equations and create visuals to demonstrate their understanding. Since all operations are incorporated in this unit, it is a review of Units 1-5. Although it is a review, it can be a struggle for some students to decipher which operation is needed to solve each problem.
Take a look in their Friday Folders (actually Thursday) next week to see how they did on their first quiz.
Social Studies
We will continue our study of the Colonies be analyzing the growing tension between the American Colonies and Great Britain. Students will be examining the events leading up to the American Revolution.
