Using geometric tools such as the protractor and compass, they draw and measure angles and circles. Students also learn to use formulas to solve equations. They learn to use formulas for area, perimeter, and circumference. The fifth grade math program presents new skills to the students, while continuing to build upon what they have already learned. Homework is posted everyday both on the class board and on eal-life.
Students are responsible for copying it into their homework journal each morning.
All homework should be completed independently at home and turned in at the start of the following class day. I understand that special circumstances will occasionally prevent us from completing all homework. When these situations do arise, I ask for a note from the parent and I will then accept the homework no more than one day late. As part of the nightly homework, students are required to read for at least fifteen minutes. It is then their responsibility to record their progress and have a parent sign their log daily.
