Math Facts Math Facts are the practice of Multiplication Facts (example: 5x9=?) for 20 minutes each week. Students are to practice these facts using a variety of methods or whatever works best for you! Some ideas are: - flash cards- multiplication math APP - parent quizzes - Multiplication Practice timed tests- multiplication computer games To prove that you have completed your 20 minutes of practice each week, you parents will sign a Math Facts Log that is due every Friday.

Homework and AIC Academic Intervention Club -Students are placed in AIC if they are receiving a 60% or BELOW in any class -Students will remain in AIC from Tuesday-Thursday and until their homework grade is ABOVE 60% (not until all work is completed). - During AIC, students must complete all missing assignments FIRST. If all assignments are completed, they must work on future assignments, math facts, or read independently. - Parents will be notified that you are in AIC. Students will be notified on Monday afternoon or Tuesday morning.

Binder Expectations Every student should have 5 sections with dividers to label each part of their binder. 1.Daily Review – these are your Do Now’s each day. They will be given at the beginning of each week. 2.Notes- this include Vocabulary and daily notes taken 3.Review – any practice worksheets, study guides, or review activities we do before a test 4. Tests- all tests and quizzes 5.Other- 5 th grade Math Overview, Standards checklist, MF log Binders should be organized by date in the sections. We will have 1-2 binder checks every Trimester worth 35 points. One Binder check will be planned and one will be a surprise!

Team Tables During math class, students will be able to earn TEAM POINTS for their table by showing the good behaviors that are on the participation and effort rubric. Points can be rewarded if your entire table is….. - prepared for class- first to be working on their DO NOW- entire table completes HW - participating- following directions - working together- at zero noise first At the end of the week, the team with the most points will get to spin the PRIZE WHEEL!

Anchor Activities ANCHOR ACTIVITIES are worksheets designed to challenge your math skills! ANCHOR ACTIVITIES are to be completed any time a student is finished early with a class task. ANCHOR ACTIVITIES will be located in the red bin in the back of the room. If all assigned ANCHOR ACTIVITIES are completed and handed in by the time of the Chapter test, the student will receive a free HOMEWORK PASS!

Study Island We use Study Island at different times throughout the year. Typically, after a quiz the class will go onto Study Island to work on their “weak area” that was identified on the MAP test. If a students earns FOUR proficient quiz grades on Study Island (80% or above), they will receive a ½ homework pass! Students must complete the Pretest and Diagnostic test before beginning to work on skills. This can be done at any time and ASAP so that you can start earning HW passes. Study Island can also be completed at home in order to earn more HW passes! Just be sure to print out results or take a picture of the score screen to show me the next day

BYOD BYOD = “Bring Your Own Device” This means students will be able to bring their device to MATH class only I will typically tell you several days in advance about a BYOD day. If your device is not used appropriately, you will not be allowed to bring in your device for the reminder of the trimester or year. If it is not a BYOD day, all electronic devices should be stored in your bookbag and turned off. We use student devices for many things including: -QR Readers- Kahoot- Socrative- “Another Look”
