This week we are finishing our last standard for this year (YAY!) with measurement. We will be focusing on metric and customary conversions. 

HERE is the parent letter outlining what your student will be learning.

Standard: MGSE5.MD.1 Convert among different-sized standard measurement units (mass, weight, length, time, etc.) within a given measurement system (customary and metric) (e.g., convert 5cm to 0.05m), and use these conversions in solving multi-step, real world problems.

Reminder, on Tuesday-Thursday from 7:20-8:00 am the students can come to my room and reassess any math standard they received a 1 or 2 on via Quizizz. Please review their report card with them, so they know what standards they need to reassess.
