Hello, Grade 5 Families,

As we complete our section on fractions, we are looking to have a test on the material on Tuesday, May 11. Given that we are learning online right now, we will be completing a different style of a test than usual… an escape room! The escape room will be available on Google Forms and administered during class while Miss M., Ms. Michelle, and Mr. Kom will be available to answer questions. Students will be asked to answer the questions to solve the room. There will be class time given this week for review and answering questions. The review worksheets for practice will be provided for students to practice the necessary skills, which are located here.

The learning skills being tested are:

1. Adding fractions with like denominators

2. Subtracting fractions with like denominators

3. Multiplying fractions by whole numbers

4. Divide whole numbers by unit fractions

5. Reducing fractions to their simplest form using equivalent fractions

6. Convert between a mixed number and an improper fraction

Students are encouraged to practice problems on IXL, completing recommendations by Miss Mellenthin and Ms. Michelle.

We look forward to escaping the fraction factory with you!
