The fifth graders continued their mini-research project during our ELA time today. The students were presented with a few articles that they had to gather details about the purpose of zoos in modern day. The fifth graders are heavily invested in this work and I look forward to continuing it over the next few days.
Earlier in the school day, the students began working with land plot problems. The fifth graders are going to be working with portions of land and looking to assign a fractional amount to the sections. This set of lessons are usually ones that force the students to undertake a process of trial and error and to use their growing knowledge of fractions to help them reason their way through.
