Order of Operations

We are starting our lessons on Order of Operations. For those students who need a little extra push in math, because they find the current math to be too easy, here is a video to help them learn the whole order of operations. :) They will be working with this video to go a bit more in depth in class!

Improper Fractions Songs and Stories

Here are the different ways (song, rap, story, or poem) the 5th Graders decided to explain how to change an improper fraction into a mixed number.  They had the choice to do this as a group or on their own. 

Such a creative bunch!  ENJOY! :)

Musical Mixed Numbers

The students have been doing a great job converting mixed numbers into improper fractions, but when some students return to school they have forgotten how to do it again.  We have tried to solve this problem with music.  The students were placed into groups and they had to create a song, rap, or poem to explain the conversion process.  The students had so much fun with this!!!  

 (Only 1 group agreed 100% to be on video, that is why the rest are audio)

Stay tuned for Converting Improper Fractions to Mixed Numbers! :)
