Complete 20 more minutes of work on subtracting mixed numbers. Please email me something (complete work page, or let me know that you did IXL) that you completed over the past two days.

UPDATE! The work provided here is to give you practice. You do not need to complete every assignment or problem. Pick and choose what you want. You can alternate between online (IXL) and print (linked pages). I would be happy to check any work that you want to send me. I have not figured out the best way to do this yet. I have heard from several people that the math journal pages are not printable, so I put screenshots of them too. I will figure it out later. There is a definite learning curve on my end! Please spend about 20 minutes today and tomorrow practicing with the work in this post. I created a video (linked here) of a short lesson about subtracting mixed numbers. It includes a reminder about finding common denominators. Subtracting is the same as adding EXCEPT when you need to borrow because the fraction part you are subtracting is bigger than the fraction you are subtracting from. The one main difference that you need to remember is that you are not going to just "add 10" to the numerator because that will almost always not equal the "1" that you borrowed. There are several resources below for practice, including answers (used to check your own work). There are also the following IXL skills that you can use to practice: L17 Estimating, L18 Adding Mixed Numbers, L19 Subtracting Mixed Numbers. Please email or use flipgrid to ask questions. I will check them at 12:30 and again at 6:00 when I get my "prep" time at home.
Today I would like you to watch a couple of Crash Course videos on YouTube. Remember, Sabrina talks quickly, so you may need to watch it twice. I will post a thread on flipgrid (Newtons- Arbours)for you to answer the questions or you can email them back to me.
Video 1: Great Picnic Mix-up Questions: 1) What is a solute? 2) What is a solvent? 3) Soda water is a solution of what two things? 4) A solution can still be separated, can you separate the two parts of soda water? If so, how? Video 2: Chemical Changes Questions: 1) What is a chemical change? 2) What makes chemical changes different than most mixtures (which are physical changes)? 3) What was Sabrina's OBSERVE example of a chemical change? 4) What 5 pieces of evidence did Sabrina say to look for in chemical changes? Hopefully today will be nice and sunny so that you can play outside (remember social distancing!) and get some fresh air. We take our dog, Buster, for a walk every morning. Today we found A TON of worms on the road. I putting out a challenge for you to search for an answer as to why there were so many out today when earlier this week, there were none. Email me your findings and I will post for the class.
I have also received a request to post more Science Mom vs Math Dad videos as a challenge. This one is about finding which of 9 identical looking balls weighs more. You can use this simulation (click on screen one) to try it out for yourself while Science Mom tries it. I was able to be successful in two attempts (I think I got lucky!), can you? This video from Science Mom and Math Dad is pretty cool too. There is a handout that you can download too. Miss you. Be well :) Hi all,
Today I snuck into the school so that I can start doing some science lessons from home next week (don't tell Mr. Eastman that I raided the science closet!) So far I have only heard from one of you about the math challenge from Science Mom and Math Dad that posted yesterday. Jonah and I had about the same number of paths but well below the actual number! There is still time to send me your submissions. So far, I was able to find 12 paths and Jonah found 10 in the 4 minute time frame. Will has chimed in and found 11 paths. His chart is below too! I also heard from Ava who is getting on to the math website (https://connected.mcgraw-hill.com//school/u9y6) and Abi sent me some cute doggo pics. Will also sent me a picture of a bird house that he made with his dad. Below are also pictures from a game called "Mathological Liar". You have the Case File and alibis for four people. You have to determine who is the guilty person based on who did their math incorrectly. I will post the answer tomorrow and give you a new round. Have fun! Hi all,
Thanks again for filling my inbox with pictures and descriptions of what you are doing! I heard from Ella today about her learning in nature today. She made a video for me of the special place that she has been able to hear birds. Nature is a great place to learn and enjoy the time we are apart. I found a Science Mom vs. Math Dad video on finding the number of paths. I was WAY off...try doing it yourself and see how you do. I'll post my work tomorrow. If you send me a pic of your work, I'll include it too... No cheating! They give the answer at the end, so make sure you try before Math Dad gives the answer. Hey all! The Arbours took another nice walk this morning. Buster doggo is loving having us at home. While my guy is working on a task for his school, I have been watching a video from Science Mom about solutions. It talks about saturation and gets into a bit of chemical reactions which is what we would have started this week. She suggests some activities that you can do at home, or you can just watch her doing them. I am hoping that find some of the potassium aluminum sulfate online that I can order and try out the geode eggs....stay tuned!
Happy St. Patrick's Day! The leprechaun visited our house and spread some good-natured mischief :) I have heard from some of you today about the interesting things that you have been doing on day 2 of our new schooling experience. In our family, we have set up a schedule for the "school day". If parents want it, I am happy to share so that they can use or adapt it. We started with a snowy walk with our almost 5 year-old Golden. It was cold, but nice to get out in the fresh air. The highlight by far was making sour gummy candy from a kit that my son got for Christmas.
From what I am hearing, Science Mom on YouTube has been a hit! Claire and Jonah both mentioned watching some videos from her channel. Jonah sent a picture of an experiment that he did with oil and water today. Claire also sent me a picture with her dog. I wonder what doggo thought about the video...maybe a new scientist in the making?? I think this video is the one that Claire watched this morning about states of matter. Please keep checking in with what you are doing so that I can share some fun with our classmates. If you watch videos, feel free to send me the addresses and I will link them for the class. Take care, and keep learning....I miss you guys! Here are some online links to help provide enrichment and structure for your 5th grader during our time out of school. These are not designed to replace the direct instruction that will be missed, but rather an opportunity to allow your child to learn about some topics of interest related to math and science. At this time, I do not expect any completed work to be returned to school, but I am always happy to look over anything that you want to send me via email if you have questions. I would LOVE to hear about the fun things that you are learning and hope to find a way to share some of those experiences online for all of us to enjoy. ✅The San Diego Zoo has a website just for kids with amazing videos, activities, and games.
