Distance Learning Optional Resources for 5th Grade

Page history last edited by Christine Koerner 3 years, 6 months ago

Each District/School has the choice of how to implement distance learning with their students. 

The following is a sample of how math remote learning can be implemented at home. This is guidance and should not be interpreted as a state requirement.

 

General Optional Resources:

 

No-Tech Optional Resources:

 

Online Calculators:

 

Desmos Collections:

 

Instructional Learning Activities and Resource Database:

Showing Activities for Grades 3-5

 

Optional Activity Sets: 

Special thanks to Fawn Nguyen of Rio School District for originally compiling all PK-8 activity sets.

 

Activity Set 1

Standard Algorithm (Source: mathlearningcenter.org)

Maria is practicing solving problems using the standard algorithm for multiplication. She knows the first step, but then she gets stuck. Finish these problems Maria started.


Balanced Equation

Use the operation symbols (+, -, x, and ÷) to make the equation true. Operations may be used more than once. (Source: https://www.openmiddle.com/)

Square Cakes (Source: https://playwithyourmath.com/)

For my party, I want a square cake with square slices. How many people can I have at my party?

 

 

 

Activity Set 2

Standard Multiplication Algorithm (Source: mathlearningcenter.org)

Solve each problem using the standard multiplication algorithm.



Pig Game

Materials: dice, pencil and paper.

Pig is a game for 2 or more players. Players take turns rolling the die as many times as they like. If a roll is a 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6, the player adds that many points to their score for the turn. A player may choose to end their turn at any time and “bank” their points. If a player rolls a 1, they lose all their unbanked points and their turn is over. Play to 50. (Source: mathforlove.org)
