Grade 5 Unit 5 (Page 3 of 4) in pdf

Stage 3- Learning Plan

UNIT LENGTH: 17 Days

5-1 Students review the uses of and notations for fractions, solve parts-and-whole

problems, and find fractional parts of whole numbers. They identify fractions

around them in the classroom and create displays for the Fractions, Decimals, and

Percents Museum.

5-2 Students use pattern blocks to review the role of the whole, or ONE, and to

explore mixed-number concepts. They name, and convert between, mixed

numbers and improper fractions.

5-3 Students use the Fraction-Stick Chart to find equivalent fractions and compare

fractions to 0, ½, 1, and 1 ½. They use the fraction-stick model to compare pairs

of fractions, find equivalent fractions, and continue their exploration of fraction

addition.

5-4 Students partition fraction sticks to show equivalent fractions. They define a

multiplication rule and a division rule for finding equivalent fractions.

5-5 Students change fractions to equivalent fractions having denominators of 10 or

100 and then rename these fractions as decimals. They practice rounding decimal

numbers up, down, or to the nearest specified place. They play Estimation

Squeeze to practice finding decimals between two decimals.

5-6 Students use the Probability Meter and Fraction-Stick Chart to approximate

decimal equivalents for fractions. They begin filling in a table of decimal

equivalents.

5-7 Students rename fractions as decimals by dividing the numerator by the

denominator using a calculator. They play Frac-Tac-Toe to develop automatic

recall of fraction-decimal equivalents.

5-8 Students review the meanings and uses of percents. They use a calculator to

convert fractions to decimals and decimals to percents.

5-9 Students use class data to construct and label a bar graph. They discuss circle

graphs and describe how they might be made.

5-10 Students use the Percent Circle to find the percent of the area of a circle graph

that is represented by each sector.

5-11 Students use the Percent Circle to construct circle graphs. They use journal

page data and the snack-survey data collected in Lesson 5-9. They practice

finding fractional parts of sets by playing Fraction Of.

5-12 Students read the essay “School” in the American Tour section of the SRB.

They interpret information in the text and displays and solve a series of

problems about the changing emphases in mathematics instruction. Students

explore and practice concepts involving fractions, decimals, and percents.

5-13 Review and assess students’ progress of mathematical content of Unit 5 using

Oral and Slate Review, Self-Assessment, Written Assessment, and Performance

Tasks.
