This assignment is due Monday 9/11 and we will continue with this type of discussion next week to further our understanding of the number line. For homework, the students are to complete #1-10 by printing the Lesson 1.1 The Number Line Worksheet out below or by writing down the answers on lined-paper.

Today we talked some more about the Number Line and how to plot mixed numbers and decimals on them. We viewed the following links and did some practice on our whiteboards in class together.

For homework, the students are to go back to their Lesson 1.1 homework from 9/8 and redo #s 7, 8, and 10 on a separate sheet of lined-paper as those types of problems were our focus for the day. This assignment is due Wednesday 9/13.

Today we talked about comparing numbers using inequality signs < and >. In particular, we looked at decimals and fractions. We concluded that all decimal numbers could be rounded to the hundredths place to remind us of money and compare them that way. We also talked about how to convert fractions to decimals by taking the numerator (top number) and dividing it by the denominator (bottom number). Once we did that, we were able to take their decimal numbers and round those to the nearest hundredth to again remind us of money and compare them that way.
For homework, the students are to complete questions #11-22 on a piece of lined paper from the Lesson 1.1 Worksheet. This is due Thursday 9/14.

Today the students had a chance to practice drawing more horizontal and vertical number lines by identifying the endpoints, the interval given, and looking for the word "between" to let us know where to place their dots on them. All students will quiz on this concept tomorrow.
Tonight's homework is for the students to complete the Lesson 1.1 Quiz Review below. The answers are provided to those of you connected with me on Remind 101 so that you can help your children check their work as they go along as well.

Today the students and I reviewed the number line for a little bit and how to build one with fractions given a specific interval. We then ventured off and talked about prime factorization after viewing a short 5th grade video on it. The link is below in case you'd like to go back and review with your student. We then practiced breaking down numbers into primes and writing the prime factorization of them.

Homework for tonight is for students to complete Lesson 1.2 problems #2-10 on pg. 18 of the Math Textbook. This assignment is due tomorrow 9/20.

Today the students and I talked more about prime factorization. In particular, we looked at a number that was already broken down into its prime factorization state and tried to find other prime factorizations of different numbers by trying to find the relationship between two of the original numbers.
For example, let's say that we have the number 100 and are told that it is written as a product of its prime factors 2 x 2 x 5 x 5, and, we are asked to write 1000 as a product of its prime factors as well. Instead of creating a huge factor tree of primes, we talked about finding the relationship between 100 and 1000. Most kids would probably say take 100 and multiply by 10 to get 1000. And they would be correct! So given that, the prime factorization for 1000 would be 1000 = 2 x 2 x 5 x 5 x 10 since we know that 100 = 2 x 2 x 5 x 5 and we want to multiply it by 10. However, we must be careful though as our string of numbers must all be prime considering that we want the "prime" factorization of our numbers. Therefore, we can take the 10 and change it into 2 x 5. Therefore 1000 = 2 x 2 x 5 x 5 x 2 x 5. Ask your child about this by reviewing last night's problems for more practice!
Tonight's homework is to read Lesson 1.3 on Common Factors and Multiples in the textbook. We will have discussion about it tomorrow.
