Welcome to Advanced Math 2024-2025

ORGANIZATION is the key to Success !

PLEASE bring this binder back & forth to school along with the Math Workbook (and calculator that I will give you)

Grade 5 Advanced Math Class has its own Google Class Page ! 

(this will be separate from your homeroom teacher's Google Classroom Page)

I use our Class page to post videos, learning resources and other related materials that support our math lessons.

The Google Classroom is also synched with our Online Math Textbooks (both 5th & 6th)

All assignments & assessments from them will automatically post on the Google Classroom too.  You may access any work by logging onto our page instead of the Math Website.

These are the 2 Math texts we will be working working

with  though this year 

5th Grade Text           6th Grade Text

5th Grade Advanced Math will be utilizing the Workbooks from both Envision 2.0 Grade 5 & 6.   We will mostly use the workbooks in class and the homework, quizzes & assessments will  all be ONLINE. 

 ALL online work MUST have the written work (when applicable) that correlates to the assignment.  This work will be done in the spiral notebook.  The rountine and expectations will be addressed in class.

HOMEWORK will be assigned on most school nights (except Fridays & Holidays unless necessary due to student absences or other unforseen/ unplanned situations).  

Students are responsible for knowing what assignments and work are expected to be completed - even when absent.  Google Slide Lessons for the day will be "shared" to you if you are absent and it is YOUR responsibility to view them and  complete the work in a timely manner.   This will NOT take place in class the next day. 

Math homework DOES NOT have to be extensive to be meaningful and useful.  My assignments will reflect practicing similar types of problems & skills from that day's class.  I mostly use the Practice Buddy online assignments as they provide examples & help and immediate feedback for accuracy of answers.  The Quick Check Quizzes will often also be assigned for homework. 

*** Quality and thoroughness in work and answer calculations is essential.  Just because there may be few problems does not mean the work should be completed quickly.  Scores/ Grades matter !

 We have a great deal to cover during this school year and working at an advanced pace Is Expected.  

Math Class will be from 10:55 - 11:55am each day.

I Don't Get It  ! ? ! ? !

 It's okay!!!!!   There may be times that problems are troublesome!   Don't give up!   

• Look at the text online and review the pages from that day 
• Google/ Search  the name of the specific skill online (there may be additional teaching videos that can help -- I do it myself all the time!!!)  On youtube,  if you type in the name of the exact lesson with Topic and Lesson Number and the words  Envision 2.0,    you will get may videos of other teachers or digital lessons of the EXACT lesson --  watch another lesson! Hearing and seeing things in another way can be helpful
• Phone/ Text a friend from class --- It's NOT Cheating - we're all about helping one another to be successful
• email me ( klynch@jacksonsd.org) maybe I can share a link to something that might help or at least put your mind at ease

Math  Assessments

Quick Check Quizzes and Topic Assessments will be administered using the the online tests from Envision 2.0.

Student Calculation/ work papers are an essential part of these assessments and are required to be turned in to accompany any online quiz or test.    It helps me see specifically what errors you made and plan for how to help instruct the class.

The % Score online is NOT your final grade.  I record #correct/ # possible and many of the online questions have multiple parts.

 Parents & Guardians are  able to access the online homework scores & assessments  on your child's math account on Pearson at any time.
