Mrs. Franklin - "ROOM 20's FANTASTIC FIFTH GRADERS"

Math Skills Tested Semester 1  

Text book Chapters 1-6 

Know your multiplication facts well!

Work on daily at home, to increase speed & accuracy.

Number Sense / Algebra:  Chapter 1

• Identify prime and composite numbers
• Factor a number to prime number only (create a factor tree to find  the prime factorization)
• Identify a correct factor tree for a given target number
• Identify an exponent and find its value
• Convert an exponential number to a standard value
• Use Order of Operations (PEMDAS) to correctly solve an equation with multiply operations & variables
• Evaluate (solve) an equation with a single variable (if x is , then)
• Write a simple equation (including a variable) to match steps in a simple word problem
• Identify the rule for a function table and use it to find missing amounts in the table
• Use Distributive Property 5 x 28 = (5 x 20) + (5 x 8)

Data, Statistics, & Graphing: Chapter 2

• Read simple graphs and interpret data presented

• Bar, line, histograms, & line plots

• Create simple graphs with data gathered

• Identify averages in data: mean, median, mode, & range

• identify positive and negative numbers on a number line
  
  
  Ch 3  Decimals Identification (mixed through thousandths)  

• Show the value of a decimal on an 100’s grid

• Convert a decimal to an equivalent fraction
• Identify and locate on a number line
• Compare using <,>,= signs
• Order from least to greatest and greatest to least
• Add & subtract decimals
• Solve basic word problems that contain decimal amounts

FRACTIONS  Ch 4

·        Identify prime numbers, know how to find common factors

·        Locate, identify, and graph simple, improper fractions, & mixed numbers on a NUMBER LINE

·        Create equivalent fractions using common factors to find simplest form

·        Identify equivalent fractions i.e. ½ =?/6 or ¼ = .75 or .50 = ½

·        Change mixed numbers to improper i.e. 2 1/4 = 9/4

·        Change improper fractions to mixed numbers i.e. 13/3 = 4 1/3

·        Add & subtract like and unlike denominators

Number Sense: (Ch 1, 2, 3, & 4)

• Round numbers: whole and decimal
• Identify value of a digit in different places: billions to thousandths
• Solve word problems with all four operations using whole and fractional numbers, including decimal amounts.  

Reasoning (all chapters)

• Match simple equations to a simple word problems using varied operations (+, -, divide, x}

Ch 5 Identify & Add & Subtract LIke & Unlike FRACTIONS 

·        Locate, identify, and graph simple, improper fractions, & mixed numbers on a NUMBER LINE

·       Add & subtract like and unlike denominators

·        Add mixed numbers and simplify i.e. 2 ½ + 5 2/5 = ?

·        Subtract mixed numbers and simplify i.e. 3 5/6 – 2 3/5 = ?

Ch  6 FRACTIONS 

·        Multiply & divide fractions & mixed numbers

·        Divide simple fractions and simplify to lowest terms

i.e. ½ divided by 1/3 = ½ times 3/1 which equals 3/2..

3/2 is then simplified to 1 ½ , the final answer.

Remember: When dividing fractions, DON’T; instead multiply by the reciprocal

(i.e., the reciprocal of 1/3 is 3/1.  You just flip the divisor!)
multiply decimals
divide decimals including decimal into whole number and decimal into decimal 

• ·        Convert fraction to decimal using division of numerator by denominator 

               i.e. 2/5 = 2 divided by 5 = .4

  ·        Word Problems (many!) What is one half of 4/5?
