News from Room 52

Unit 5 is coming to a close today!  The kids have done a great job with multiplying and dividing fractions! 

Next week, we will begin mini-unit D in our math curriculum.  At the end of of the mini-unit, the students should be able to:

• recognize and perform rotations, reflections, and translations.
• perform translations and reflections on a coordinate grid.
• use a table and equations to plot points.
• use negative numbers on a number line and coordinate plane.
• identify visual, numeric, and geometric patterns.

After mini-unit D is complete, we will move right into mini-unit E.  At the end of this mini-unit, the students should be able to:

• compare prisms and cylinders and find the surface area of prisms.
• compare pyramids and cones and find the surface area of pyramids.
• represent three-dimensional figures in two-dimensional drawings.
