Homework # 5

Homework this week is twofold. There is a text component due on Friday (as usual), and also a Study Guide to review at home until after Thanksgiving. Students will fill in the study guide in class to make sure their answers are correct. Answers are posted on the Smartboard. Students check their work. The Study Guide will come home Monday night with the regular homework.

Students should re-read and quiz themselves on the questions on this Study Guide all week and when possible on the 4 day long weekend. The test is made from the guide. If your child reviews the types of questions, they should be successful on their unit test!

The test is Tuesday October 9th after Thanksgiving allowing for lots of re-reading time.

Homework #1

We begin our homework this week! A textbook will come home assigned to your child, along with a notebook of lined sheets to write the answers in. Please keep it neat: put the title from the textbook page at the top of the notebook page, and include the page number in the corner of the page. Answers should be numbered or lettered to match the textbook.

The textbook covers math fundamentals and basic skills needed for Grade 5. More difficult problem solving tasks are done in class. This means your child should be able to complete a lot of the homework without parental help. This builds confidence and independence with homework skills, which become essential as students move towards high school. If your child seems consistently to find the homework easy and excels at the math concepts, please write a note requesting the Grade 6 text. Several students last year were able to use the reach-ahead text, as their number sense skills were solid enough to try the challenge.

Please see the note regarding homework that is coming home on Monday. It will be glued to the front of each student's homework notebook.

Monday's homework, due by Friday:

Read the first few pages at the start of the text and the Place Value chapter cover page about Cora Hind.
Do pages 4, 5 and 6 (all questions)
Read page 8 and Do page 9 # 9 to 14 and # 17 to 20
