  💡Problem of the Day 🚨 

Math 24: Object of the game: Make the number 24 from the four numbers shown. You can add, subtract, multiply and divide. Use all four numbers on the card, but use each number only once. You do not have to use all four operations. Can you solve the card below? There are 8 cards this week!!!! NEW CARDS FOR WEEK 5/11/20 Please click…….24 Cards for week of 5/11/20

Week 2 (5/11/20) - 5th Grade Mathematics! Unit 5, Module 2

This week's focus is on developing models to represent multiplication of a fraction by another fraction.

While there are many activities within this home learning packet, there is only one graded assignment

in math each week. It can be found on the next page. You may choose to complete the graded

activity first and submit it to your teacher for feedback. If you are struggling with the activity,

it is suggested that you complete the following activities. Once complete, you can take a picture

and send it to your teacher through email, class dojo, text, etc…

Week 5/11/20 - Graded Assignment 

Day 1 - Monday : Session 1, Geoboard Perimeters

Today we are going to start exploring how to use the area model to multiply one fraction by another fraction. First we are going to review the area

model. Now that you have thought about the information needed, measure the length of the sides of the rectangle and write an equation that will allow you to calculate the area of the rectangle.

Now take a look at this picture:

If the area of this square is 1 unit, what is the length of each side, and what is the perimeter of the square? Length: ______________________ Perimeter: ____________________ Now take a look at this picture:

What is the perimeter of A: ________ B: ________ C: _______ D: ________ E: __________

Day 2 - Tuesday: Session 2, Rectangles with Fractional Side Lengths

Today’s work will connect multiplication of fractions to the area model for multiplication, which will help you make sense of the relationship between the size of the factors (fractions being multiplied) and the product of two fractions. Remember the last lesson: you found the dimensions of rectangles on the geoboard pictures. Today we will find the dimensions and areas of rectangles using geoboard pictures. Just like last time, the total area of the board is 1 square unit and the length of each side is 1 linear unit. Let’s get started: What are the dimensions of the pictured square below? ____ linear unit x ____ linear unit = ____ square unit Use this page to record your work for the following problems, make a labeled sketch of the rectangle and record the equation on the Fraction Multiplication Grids page

● Draw a labeled sketch of a ½ x ¼ rectangle on a blank grid ● Record the equation the equation for finding the area of that rectangle ● Repeat those first two steps for

○ ¼ x ¼ ○ ¼ x 1 ○ ¼ x ¾ ○ ½ x ¾

● At the end answer these questions: ○ What do you notice about the products of the fractions you multiplied

today? ○ How is multiplying fractions similar to multiplying whole numbers? ○ How is multiplying fractions different from multiplying whole numbers?

Day 3 - Wednesday: Session 3, Multiplying Fractions with the Area Model

Today you will be modeling and solving some more problems that involve multiplying one fraction by another fraction. Check out this portion of Area of the Addition Key Page:

Practice with the following pages:

Day 4 - Thursday: Session 5, Modeling Fraction Problems

To finish out this module, you will solve a variety of story problems that involve multiplication of fractions and use a variety of models to solve problems for those situations.

Ms. Huff 

Can you make your own instrument using household items? Below are a few videos on how to make a drum, membranophone, and a shaker. How to make a drum * Ms. Huff used duct tape instead of packing tape and a can of beans for the shell of the drum. How to make a membranophone ● What you need: Clean, empty plastic water bottle (any size bottles with ridges work best),

scissors, glove (latex, rubber, or vinyl or a balloon, although it’s harder to work with); rubber band; hole punch; drinking straw; sheet of construction paper or card stock.

Here are the steps: 1. Leave the cap on the bottle, but peel the label off. 2. Cut the bottle in half using scissors (or a utility knife, if an adult is doing this). Make sure you

cut evenly, leaving a smooth edge. Set aside the bottom half of the bottle for another use, or recycle it.

3. Take the top half of the bottle, and use your hole punch to punch a hole as far from the cut

edge as you can towards the mouth of the bottle. Put the straw through the hole to test it for size. It should be a tight fit. If the hole isn’t large enough for the diameter of the straw, repunch in nearly the same spot to widen the hole a bit.

4. Cut the fingers and thumb off the glove as a unit (in one cut). The rest of the glove should now look like a wide tube. Cut the tube open to form a rectangular sheet of pliable material—this is your membrane.

5. Stretch the membrane over the opening you cut on the bottle, making sure that the hole you punched in the side doesn’t get hidden by excess material. If you are using a balloon, cut off the narrowest part to make a large enough surface to stretch over the opening you cut on the bottle.

6. Secure the membrane to the bottle with a rubber band. Wrap the rubber band around the bottle several times, making sure that the membrane is taut.

7. Twist the cap off the bottle and set it aside. 8. Roll a piece of construction paper into a tube, making it as tight and straight as possible. Put

the rolled-up tube into the neck of the bottle, where the cap had been. Let go of the paper tube when it barely touches the bottom of the membrane. It should fit securely in the bottle opening. Tape it to the neck of the bottle so it stays in place.

9. Re-insert the straw into the punched hole on the side of the bottle, and you’re ready to play! (Click to enlarge the diagram below.)

How to make a shaker Remember to ask your parents for help!

Please share a video or picture of the instruments that you make. Can you use your new instrument to play along with your favorite song? Can you use them to make a funny video? Please let Ms. Huff know how your process went. Send me an email at janae.huff@smyrna.k12.de.us

Learning with Mrs. Hendricks, 

Mrs. Mathes & Ms. Weeks 

Stuck at home can make us all go stir-crazy! Routine is what we all need! Check out the examples of 

COVID-19 Daily Schedules below. This is an approach to the “new normal” of using our home where 

our parents/guardians need to work, you need to learn, play, and live. The schedule emphasizes 

sticking to activities that keep us disciplined, such as getting dressed and making our beds, instead 

of giving up on these areas. It is just like going to school except you are commuting from your 

bedroom to your kitchen, living room, or office. 

The blocks of time help us figure out how to work in new tasks that we may not have had enough 

time for in school before. Think of this time as an opportunity to enjoy more quality time with your 

family! Remember, We Are All In This Together!

· Do you think you are organized? Why or why not? 

· What is one thing you could do today to be more organized? 

· How is being organized for virtual school different from in-person school?
