UNIT 5 IN EVERYDAY MATH
Unit 5: Operations with Fractions
In this unit, students deepen their understanding of fractions and develop strategies for adding and subtracting fractions and mixed numbers with unlike denominators. They also connect fraction-of thinking to multiplication and generalize a fraction multiplication algorithm. Finally, students are introduced to fraction division.
SCI-LAB
Students are in the final stretch of our Mixtures & Solutions unit.
Investigation 4: Reaching Saturation
Students investigate the solubility of solutes in water to discover there is a different maximum amount of every solute that will dissolve in a measure of water--the phenomenon of saturation.
Investigation 5: Fizz Quiz
Students make more complex mixtures of water with multiple solutes and observe transformations of reactants to new products--the phenomenon of chemical reaction.
