Not in school, but still learning!

Greetings students and parents-

It seems that the storm will keep us out of school for a day or more. Although we won't be spending time together in the classroom, I will still expect you to keep up on your math. Better to keep learning now than stay late in June, right?

These assignments will be easiest on a computer; if you are using an iPad you will want to download the IXL app and find the two topics in the fifth grade section.

Today's assignment has two parts: IXL practice and a post a class bulletin board.

For your IXL practice, I would like you to spend at least 30 minutes working on the following two topics:
BE SURE TO LOG IN BEFORE YOU BEGIN WORKING!
Decimals as Words IXL C.3

Place Value IXL C.4

If you need a refresher on either topic, please check out the following Khan Academy videos:

Decimals as Words

Place Value



Need a break before you do the second task? Enjoy an interesting math video or two!

After you have completed that, please go to your class bulletin board and follow the instructions found there. If you are on an iPad or phone and can't complete see enough of the screen to complete this task, you may email your answer to me instead.

Class boards:

5L Math


5S Math


5V Math




Finish quickly and need an extension activity?
Try IXL C.12, Converting Fractions to Decimals

If you have any questions about the above assignment, please feel free to email me. I will be available all day and I am happy to help you if you need it.

Your assignment from Mrs. Liedtke can be found on her blog.

Play safely, and stay warm and dry-
Mr. Swinehart
