Third Quarter Curriculum

🧮 Math:

Module 5: Fraction Equivalence, Ordering, and Operations

In this module, students will build on their experiences with unit fractions as they explore fraction equivalence and extend this understanding to mixed numbers.  This leads to the comparison of fractions and mixed numbers and the representation of both in a variety of models.  Benchmark fractions play an important part in students’ ability to generalize and reason about relative fraction and mixed number sizes.  Students will then have the opportunity to apply what they know to be true for whole number operations to the new concepts of fraction and mixed number operations.

🧪Science: 

Science: Waves of Sound

Sound, Waves, & Communication

This unit helps students develop the idea that sound is an actual thing, a wave of vibrations traveling through the air. Equipped with this understanding, students can begin to make sense of how sound and music work

🌎Social Studies:

Social Studies: The Midwest Region

We will study the Midwest region of the United States. Students will learn the states and capitals of these regions as well as important features and industries. Students will be quizzed on labeling a map with the names of the states and their matching capital cities at the end of the unit.
