• adding fractions and mixed numbers
• subtracting fractions and mixed numbers
• multiplying a fraction by a whole number
• understanding fraction and decimal relationships
• working with decimals to the hundredths place
• finding median, mode, and range of fractions and decimals
• stem-and-leaf plots with fractions and decimals
• line plots with fractions and decimals
• measuring units of measure in the metric and customary system
• converting units of measure in the metric and customary system
• measuring and drawing angles

Students will need the following materials: printer, cell phone or scanner, headset or earbuds, notebook, pen, pencils, erasers, scissors, coloring materials (markers, crayons, colored pencils), glue, tape, stapler, ruler, printer paper, lined paper, colored paper, protractor, and general household objects for activities.

Besides engaging students in challenging curriculum, the course guides students to reflect on their learning and evaluate their progress through a variety of assessments. Assessments can be in the form of practice lessons, multiple-choice questions, writing assignments, projects, oral assessments, and discussions. Core courses will use the state-approved grading scale and Special Area courses will use an S or U grading scale.

To achieve success, students are expected to submit work in each course weekly. Students can learn at their own pace; however, “any pace” still means that students must make progress in the course every week. To measure learning, students complete self-checks, practice lessons, multiple choice questions, projects, discussion-based assessments, and discussions. Students are expected to maintain regular contact with teachers; the minimum requirement is monthly. When teachers, students, and parents work together, students are successful.
