We are starting a new unit about patterns in space. We will be looking at the changes caused daily and yearly on our planet. We will start by looking at the causes of day and night and then look more deeply into how this changes over the course of the year. We will also look at how seasons change throughout the year and why that happens. Lastly, we are going to look at why stars only appear during certain times of year.
For today's lesson, students are going to watch the "Study Jams" video linked in classroom. When they are finished, they will answer the questions on the google form attached to the assignment. Today students will continue their work with dividing fractions. In today's lesson they will work on dividing whole numbers by unit fractions (fractions with a numerator of 1). In the video that I created I teach about making the models to show the process and the algorithm. If students work quickly, they will likely just write the same answers that they found last week. Unfortunately, this is the opposite of what their answers will be, so if they keep getting stuck, encourage them to slow down.
There is one page that is mandatory in the assignment on google classroom. I have also posted 3 additional pages for practice with answer keys and the corresponding IXL skills. When you are finished watching the video, please complete 20 minutes of IXL skills in the N column- New! Divide unit fractions by whole numbers using models, 1 Divide unit fractions by whole numbers, New! Divide unit fractions and whole numbers using area models (these are the three highlighted in the IXL screenshot). When you finish, please submit a screenshot of what you finished (for example the progress for each skill that shows in the top right corner) to complete the assignment.
