Overview: Students will use 5th grade prior knowledge to estimate and find exact measurements using appropriate tools. (angles, perimeter, area, volume, time, temperature)  Using their knowledge of ratios and proportions, measurement units will be converted within the customary and metric systems.

Focus: Students will use prior knowledge to estimate the measurement of angles, perimeter, area, volume,  and circumference.  Students will also apply their knowledge of basic measurement to explore the relationships between the radius, diameter, and circumference of a circle.

    Overview:Students will use prior knowledge of equivalent fractions in the introduction of ratios and proportions.  Students will use models and tables to identify proportional relationships in various situations, using 5th grade prior knowledge of basic perimeter and area of geometric figures.  Missing information will be found using proportions.

    Focus: Students will use prior knowledge of equivalent fractions in the exploration of ratios and proportions.

    TEKS: 6.03(A), 6.03(B), 6.11(A), 6.11(B), 6.12(A), 6.12(B)

    Lessons:

    Overview: Prior knowledge of multiplication and division skills and classification of numbers will be used to identify factors and multiples of numbers, including Greatest Common Factor and Least Common Multiple.  Prime factorization of numbers will be found and expressed using exponents.

    Focus: Using their knowledge of factors, students will be able to identify the greatest common factor of a given set of numbers.

    TEKS: 6.01e, 6.11a, 6.11b, 6.11c

    Lessons:

    • Monday:Review of GCF and Prime Factorization.  Assignment is GCF and Prime Factorization Review worksheet.  Must show work for each problem.  Also, give overhead quiz from GCF and exponents.
    • Tuesday: Least Common Multiple.  Show by listing out the multiples.  Assignment is Pg. 671 (10-27 but not #22)
    • Wednesday: 1st 6 Weeks Exam.  No homework.
    • Thursday: Modeling Fractions.  Assignment is R5-4, w/o reducing, except on answers that reduce to 1/2.  Also, do fraction hunt.
    • Friday: Simplifying Fractions.  Assignment is Simplest Form worksheet.  Make them show what they divide by on top and bottom.  Also, give 2nd benchmark.

    Overview:Students will use 5th grade knowledge to compare and order decimals in written and numeric form.  Reasonableness skills should be used in problem situations to judge sums, differences, products, and quotients of whole numbers.  With decimals, operations are limited to addition and subtraction.  Through real-life situations, students will classify numbers, including whole numbers, decimals, and integers.

    Focus: Students will use their place value knowledge to solve real-life problems by performing various operations with decimals, such as converting metric units.

    TEKS: 6.02b, 6.02c, 6.02e, 6.08d, 6.11a, 6.11d, 6.13b

    Lessons:

    • Monday: Subtracting Decimals.  Assignment is Subtracting Decimals worksheet.
    • Tuesday: Multiplying Decimals.  Assignment is SP11-2 and WPP 11-2.

Through real-life situations, students will classify numbers, including whole numbers, decimals, and integers.

    Focus: Students will integrate decimals into their previous knowledge of ordering and comparing numbers.  Using prior knowledge of place value, they will also round decimal numbers.
