Math

Welcome to Mr. Frohnheiser's Math Wiki Page. MATH IS EVERYWHERE! CHANGE IS GOOD! We find ourselves in a transitional state. Pennsylvania Department of Education has introduced new Common Core Standards to replace the existing standards. We will be using our Harcourt textbook and Common Core Progress workbook. By using these two resources, we will be able to cover all the new math concepts that we are expected to cover during the fifth grade school year.

There will be many skills covered throughout the school year. All of these skills will fall into one of the new Common Core Standards in Mathematics:

STANDARDS FOR MATHEMATICAL CONTENT OPERATIONS & ALGEBRAIC THINKING NUMBER & OPERATIONS IN BASE 10 NUMBERS & OPERATIONS -- FRACTIONS MEASUREMENT & DATA GEOMETRY

Throughout the school year we will spend time in each of the above Common Core Standards. The state has identified three (3) critical areas of focus:

1. Developing fluency with addition and subtraction of fractions, and developing understanding of the multiplication of fractions and of division of fractions in limited cases (unit fractions divided by whole numbers and whole numbers divided by unit fractions).

2. Extending division to 2-digit divisors, integrating decimal fractions into the place value system and developing understanding of operations with decimals to hundredths, and developing fluency with whole numbers and decimal operations.

3. Developing understanding of volume.
