Unit 2: Number Relationships and Computation (Fractions)
Unit 3: Number Relationships and Computation (Fractions, Decimals, and Percents)
Assessment and Curriculum Support for Parents- 1 Parent Preview (Grade 5, Number Relationships and Computation - Decimals)
This document outlines the objectives that will be taught during this unit. It also includes important vocabulary and optional activities that can be done at home. eTools- 2 Fraction Pointer
The activity provides the user with two fractions, a pair of shapes, and a number line. Each shape is connected to a point on the number line corresponding to one of the fractions. By creating a group of smaller sections within each shape, the user can color a portion of the shape to match the fraction. - 3 Fraction to Decimal converter
This activity allows the user to explore converting decimals to fractions and fractions to decimals. Games- 4 Illuminations Concentrations
Click on the percent and fractions to play a concentration matching game. Web- 5 Equivalent Decimals
Complete some sample multiple choice questions. - 6 Matching game
Match the equivalent decimals to reveal a picture. - 7 Power Football
In this online activity loosely based on football, correct answers advance the ball towards the goal posts and incorrect answers result in the loss of a down. Getting the ball to the goal posts within four downs results in a field goal. Students may find this a motivating format in which to practice operations on decimals.
Unit 4: Probability
Assessment and Curriculum Support for Parents- 1 Parent Preview (Grade 5, Probability)
This document outlines the objectives that will be taught during this unit. It also includes important vocabulary and optional activities that can be done at home. eTools- 2 Coin Toss
Students can practice experimental probability through the simulation of a coin toss. - 3 Probability
This activity allows the user to conduct probability experiments with devices such as a spinner and dice. Studying random events with such devices and computer simulations allows you to gain familiarity with the connection between experimental and theoretical probability. - 4 Racing game with 1 dice
This site allows the user to simulate a race where the results are based on the roll of a die. The user can determine which player moves forward for a given roll, and can then experiment with the race by determining which player will win more often based on the rules that they specify.
