Overview: Using prior knowledge of Greatest Common Factors and Least Common Multiples, students will model, compare, add, and subtract fractions and mixed numbers with like and unlike denominators.  Answers should be judged for reasonableness.  Customary and metric rulers will be used to demonstrate knowledge of the use of fractions in measurement.

Focus: Students will be able to integrate their knowledge of equivalent fractions to the comparing and ordering of fractions and to the modeling of equivalent fractions to find their sums and differences.

TEKS: 6.01a, 6.02a, 6.11b, 6.11c, 6.12b

Lessons:

  • Monday: Comparing Fractions.  Assignment is Comparing Fractions wksht.   Notes Handout (Mimio Lesson) Make sure they change all fractions to equivalent fractions.

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: Using basic operations, students will be able to simplify  number expressions by applying the correct order of operations, incorporating the addition or subtraction of decimals.  Furthermore, through discovery, students will extend the number line to include the set of integers.

TEKS: 6.01c, 6.02e, 6.11b, 6.12b

Lessons:

  • Monday: Labor Day Holiday
  • Tuesday: Modeling Integers.  Assignment is R10-2. Order of Operations Quiz.
  • Wednesday: Decimal Review and Benchmark 1. Assignment is to finish Review.
