Unit 5 Begins!

Hello 5V Math Accel Families,

How are you? We are starting unit 5 on Monday, March 11th. I wanted to share with you the common core standards we are covering, the acquisition of knowledge, the learning the kids are doing, and the transfer of that learning: Please see the information below:

Math Accel. Grade 5

Vocabulary: absolute value, axis, coordinate, coordinate plane, midpoint, ordered (number) pair, origin, parallel, perpendicular, polygon, parallelogram, quadrant, quadrilateral, reflection, right angle, right triangle, sector, skewed, trapezoid, triangle, vertex/vertices.

·  CC.6.RP.3 Use ratio and rate reasoning to solve real-world and mathematical problems, e.g., by reasoning about tables of equivalent ratios, tape diagrams, double number line diagrams, or equations.

·  CC.6.RP.3c Find a percent of a quantity as a rate per 100 (e.g., 30% of a quantity means 30/100 times the quantity); solve problems involving finding the whole given a part and the percent.

·  CC.6.NS.6 Understand a rational number as a point on the number line. Extend number line diagrams and coordinate axes familiar from previous grades to represent points on the line and in the plane with negative number coordinates.

·  CC.6.NS.6b Understand signs of numbers in ordered pairs as indicating locations in quadrants of the coordinate plane; recognize that when two ordered pairs differ only by signs, the locations of the points are related by reflections across one or both axes.

·  CC.6.NS.6c Find and position integers and other rational numbers on a horizontal or vertical number line diagram; find and position pairs of integers and other rational numbers on a coordinate plane.

·  CC.6.NS.7 Understand ordering and absolute value of rational numbers.

·  CC.6.NS.7b Write, interpret, and explain statements of order for rational numbers in real-world contexts. For example, write –3°C > –7°C to express the fact that –3°C is warmer than –7°C.

·  CC.6.NS.8 Solve real-world and mathematical problems by graphing points in all four quadrants of the coordinate plane. Include use of coordinates and absolute value to find distances between points with the same first coordinate or the same second coordinate.

·  CC.6.G.3 Draw polygons in the coordinate plane given coordinates for the vertices; use coordinates to find the length of a side joining points with the same first coordinate or the same second coordinate. Apply these techniques in the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems.

ACQUISITION (Students will KNOW):

• Ratios can be represented as a percentage.
• How integers fit on a number line or coordinate plane.
• The opposite of the opposite of an integer is itself.
• That an ordered pair is the location of a point on a coordinate grid and how it is related to the x and y axis .
• That reflections across one or both axes are created by changing the signs of the x and/or y coordinate in an ordered pair.
• Positive and negative numbers have a relationship with zero .
• Positive and negative numbers can be applied to real world examples.
• How integers fit on a number line or coordinate plane.
• Students will understand there is a relationship among integers.
• That absolute value is the distance between any number and zero.
• Points on the coordinate plane can represent the vertices of a polygon.

ACQUISITION (Students will be able to):

• Determining a missing value in a percent proportion.
• Finding the opposite of a given number.
• Plotting rational numbers on a number line.
• Plotting ordered pairs on a coordinate plane.
• Graphing the reflection of a given ordered pair on a number line.
• Interpreting absolute value.
• Graphing points in all four quadrants of the coordinate plane.
• Using coordinates and absolute value to find distances between points with the same first coordinates or the same second coordinates.
• Determining the distance between two points on the coordinate plane given that the points have the same x or y value.
• Solving real-world problems using distances on the coordinate plane.
