Hello!

Hope you enjoyed the lovely fall weather this weekend! While I hope you spent a lot of your time outdoors, I also hope you took some time to review for your first Quarterly Assessment tomorrow!

On Tuesday we will continue with Investigation 3 in Comparing Bits & Pieces and hope to wrap up the Unit by the end of the week. We're planning to have a Unit Test next week, before the break for Teacher's Convention. November 5th marks the end of the first marking period! 

So, what FRACTION of the year have you (almost) completed so far? ;)

*Don't forget TenMarks Tuesday!!

Moving on...

We've spent the first month of school successfully making the transition into 6th grade. We have already finished our first unit, Prime Time. We explored factors, multiples, GCF, LCM, the Distributive Property, and much, much more!

Our next unit will be Comparing Bits & Pieces.

Here's a quick summary from CMP3:
"Rational numbers are at the heart of the middle-grades experience with number concepts. The goal of Comparing Bits and Pieces is to help students deepen their understanding of equivalent fractions and build on this understanding as they explore ratios. They will become skillful at interpreting the different forms of a rational number, at knowing which form is most appropriate for the solution of a given problem, and at writing and interpreting ratios."

Please keep your eye out for the parent letter with a short unit introduction and topic list that was sent home on Thursday, October 2.

We will also begin using Tenmarks regularly. Tenmarks is online math practice used to practice skills and reinforce concepts learned in class. Each student has been assigned a unique username and password.
