Students expand their understanding of the number system and build their fluency in arithmetic operations in Module 2. Students learned in Grade 5 to divide whole numbers by unit fractions and unit fractions by whole numbers. Now, they apply and extend their understanding of multiplication and division to divide fractions by fractions.The meaning of this operation is connected to real-world problems as students are asked to create and solve fraction division word problems. Students continue (from fifth grade) to build fluency with adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing multi-digit decimal numbers using the standard algorithms.
Our standards: 6.NS.1 Interpret and compute quotients of fractions, and solve word problems involving division of fractions by fractions, e.g., by using visual fraction models and equations to represent the problem. For example, create a story context for (2/3) ÷ (3/4) and use a visual fraction model to show the quotient; use the relationship between multiplication and division to explain that (2/3) ÷ (3/4) = 8/9 because 3/4 of 8/9 is 2/3. (In general, (a/b) ÷ (c/d) = ad/bc.) How much chocolate will each person get if 3 people share 1/2 lb of chocolate equally? How many 3/4-cup servings are in 2/3 of a cup of yogurt? How wide is a rectangular strip of land with length 3/4 mi and area 1/2 square mi? 6.NS.2 Fluently divide multi-digit numbers using the standard algorithm. 6.NS.3 Fluently add, subtract, multiply, and divide multi-digit decimals using the standard algorithm for each operation. 6.NS.4 Find the greatest common factor of two whole numbers less than or equal to 100 and the least common multiple of two whole numbers less than or equal to 12. Use the distributive property to express a sum of two whole numbers 1–100 with a common factor as a multiple of a sum of two whole numbers with no common factor. Our learning targets: I can solve word problems involving division of fractions by fractions. NS.1.1 I can represent the context of a fraction word problem using a variety of models. NS.1.2 I can fluently divide multi-digit numbers. NS.2 I can fluently add, subtract, multiply, and divide multi-digit decimals. NS.3 I can find the greatest common factors of two whole numbers (up to 100). NS.4.1 I can find the least common multiple of two whole numbers (less than or equal to 12). NS.4.2 I can use the distributive property to express a sum of two whole numbers. NS.4.3 This week we discuss two of the three environmental issues facing Latin America... Air Pollution in Mexico City Deforestation in Brazil's Rainforest Oil Spills in Venezuela (next week) Monday - begin with PPT (up to slide 18) (use all week - divided into three sections for each issue) complete foldables for vocabulary - deforestation, smog, oil spill complete graphic organizer in class with PPT HOMEWORK - read and compare two articles about Mexico City's pollution (DUE WEDNESDAY)
Tuesday - continue discussion with article below
Wednesday - share homework continue with PPT (slides 28 - 48)
Thursday - FIELD TRIP to Tellus Science Museum Friday - Comprehension pages to review concepts Design a T-shirt
We will spend this week learning the location of 16 features of Latin America. I can locate selected features of Latin America and the Caribbean: Amazon River, Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico, Pacific Ocean, Panama Canal, Andes Mountains, Sierra Madre Mountains, Atacama Desert, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Cuba, Haiti, Mexico, Panama, and Venezuela.

Here are the topics and locations:
Mrs. Beck - Math Curriculum and Websites; Social Studies Curriculum (in her classroom) Mrs. Pritchard - Reading Curriculum; MAP Scores (in the band room) Mrs. Murphy - Science Fair; ClassDojo (in her classroom) Please know that we will not provide childcare. We understand that circumstances merit bringing your child(ren) to the meeting. However, please know that they need to stay with you and not wander the school or hallways. :-) We want to respect your time, as well as cover as much information and answer as many questions as we can in the allotted time. Please bring the MAP scores that were sent home with your student this past Thursday. When you arrive, we will assign you to a room to BEGIN. You will rotate to the next room every 20 minutes. You may want to come early to check out the SCHOLASTIC MARKET (closes at 5:30) and pick up all the fresh fruits and veggies your family needs for a week at the bargain price of $20.00. This is a very healthy fundraiser for our DRAMA Dept. Thanks in advance for supporting our students while providing yummy, healthy food for your family. Any questions, please email! Again, we will begin promptly at 6:00 pm. Thank you so much for supporting our school library fundraiser. We were able to surpass our goal of $3000, with our profits totaling over $5000! These funds will go directly to our new media center.
The cookie dough will be delivered on Thursday, September 18. Plan to come to Fowler field (at the entrance to the Brookmont neighborhood) from 2 - 4:30 pm Thursday to pick up your order. Each bucket weighs over 3 lbs. so we cannot send them home with students. Students in ASP will have their orders with them when they are picked up. Any remaining money due will need to be collected and returned to the school by September 24th, please be sure to send money in an envelope with the student's name and total amount enclosed, checks should be made out to Brighten Academy. If you would like to help volunteer to distribute orders please meet at Fowler Field at 2 pm. Again, thank you all so much for making this such a successful fundraiser for our library.
