Math and Word Study Resources

 

We introduced a few different helpful resources to the fifth graders today that we also wanted to make the parents aware of.  If students go onto our Canvas page and click on the Math Link, it will take them to a page where they can access a video for each math lesson in our first chapter.  These lessons are very in depth and the teacher that presents the information does it in the same fashion that I present it in the classroom.  These videos will be helpful if students are absent and need to learn the lessons that they missed or if students want to re-watch a lesson for deeper understanding on a concept. 

 

In addition, there is an IXL link on that page that the students can click on.  This will take them to the Clever login page where they sign in with their EGR Google account.  I have “starred” 10 lessons in 5^th grade IXL.  This is a new feature in IXL where I can suggest lessons to students.  The ten lessons I starred would give the fifth graders extra practice on math lessons 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, and 1.4.  We will be working on lesson 1.4 tomorrow in class.  I will continue to star different lessons for each chapter throughout the year and students can always go on there and do extra practice if they would like. 

 

The fifth graders were also introduced to a few resources on the fifth grade Canvas page when they click on Word Study.  Throughout the year we will post our spelling lists on there.  Currently list #1 is posted.  We analyzed the prefixes, root words, and suffixes for different words during a lesson in class.  The students then created as many words as they could with the different prefixes, root words, and suffixes.  The list of multisyllabic words that they could have created is also linked to the Word Study page.  One way that the fifth graders could practice their spelling and the word study patterns is by using Arcademics that is linked on the Word Study page.  The spelling and word study games will only use their specific spelling words that we are focusing on at that time. 

 

We hope that these resources are useful to all of the fifth graders throughout the year.
