Grade Five Math


Joke Post




Post your jokes here!  If you’ve heard a funny one lately, pass it on to the rest of us!  Then come back and read the jokes your classmates have posted.  LOL!!!!!!!!!


Exponents




Exponents are a brand-new concept for us.  You’re really going to have to think of multiplication in a new way.  Pretend that I don’t know anything about exponents.  Explain to me why I get a much larger product when I solve 4 to the 3rd power than when I solve 4 X 3.  Use math words such as exponent, base, and power.


Introduce yourself!




It’s important to come to school to learn new things, but getting to know your peers and teachers is important, too!  Use this post to write a little bit about YOU… to get you started, here are some questions you might answer in your post:

What do you like to do after school and on the weekends?

What is something you’re really good at?

Who is in your family (including pets)?

What goals have you set for yourself this year?

What are some of your “favorites” (food, movie, type of music, color, sport, etc.)?


How’s it goin’ so far?




Fifth grade is much different than fourth grade, isn’t it?  What new responsibilities and challenges do you already have as a fifth grader?  What is something difficult you’ve had to get used to?  What is something new that you like?  Have you learned anything yet?  Tell me all about it!
