Mrs. Reeg's Math Class News
Week of April 4, 2016
This Week In Math:
This past week we learned how to classify triangles and quadrilaterals in a hierarchy based on properties. We also started our unit on volume. Students learned how to use the formula V = l x w x h or V = base x h to find the volume of a rectangular prism. Students also learned how to find the volume of a solid figure composed of two rectangular prisms. Next week we will focus our attention to practicing for the math AIR state test. The testing days will be on Wednesday and Thursday. Below I have included two videos on volume.
Measuring Volume in a Different Way
Volume as Additive
Understand volume, measure volume, & relate volume to multiplication and addition (5.MD.4)

AIR state testing
Our 5th grade students will be taking part in the American Institute of Research (AIR) assessments, which are computer-based assessments. The AIR tests have replaced the previous years’ PARCC assessments, and are much shorter in duration. Our students in grades 3 - 5 will be tested in English/Language Arts (ELA) and Math. Students in grades 4 and 5 will take an additional test: Social Studies for grade 4 students and Science for grade 5 students.
Testing Dates: April 4/5: 5th Grade ELA Part 1 & 2
April 13/14: 5th Grade Math Part 1 & 2
