Amazing Work in 5th Grade Math!

Normally, I wait to blog until Thursday and Friday… however, today, I just couldn’t wait!

Over the past week, the 5th graders have been working hard learning and practicing how to multiply decimals. I have been SO impressed with their hard work and effort.

To start off class today, we did a quick brain check to see if we remembered what we learned last week. As I walked around as each child was working, I was blown away!  Every, single 5th grader showed that they understood how to multiply decimals and were able to explain how it works by connecting it to our understanding of fractions.

Since we have a short quiz tomorrow, today we worked on reviewing through a fun “escape room” math activity. The kids were put into teams where they had different tasks to complete and codes to figure out all by solving different decimal multiplication problems.

Every team was focused, excited, and helping each other throughout this entire activity. Not a single 5th grader gave up, and most importantly, each group was working so unbelievably wonderful as a team!

Every 5th grader should be SO proud of themselves – I sure am 🙂

Happy Monday,
