Grade 5 Module 2: Multi-Digit Whole Number and Decimal Fraction Operations
• Lesson 23: Objective: Divide three- and four-digit dividends by two-digit divisors resulting in two- and three-digit quotients, reasoning about the decomposition of successive remainders in each place value.
Lesson 23 Homework due Tuesday
• Lesson 24: Objective: Divide decimal dividends by multiples of 10, reasoning about the placement of the decimal point and making connections to a written method.
Lesson 24 Homework due Wednesday
• Lesson 25: Objective: Use basic facts to approximate decimal quotients with two-digit divisors, reasoning about the placement of the decimal point.
Lesson 23 Homework due Thursday
• Lesson 26: Objective: Divide decimal dividends by two-digit divisors, estimating quotients, reasoning about the placement of the decimal point, and making connections to a written method.
•KhanAcademy– Module 2: Multi-digit whole number and decimal fraction operations
Enrichment Concept: Using math (measurement) to increase understanding of the real world

Schedule and due dates
Part 1: Due December 2, 2016
Journal- Set up your journal in preparation to record observations throughout all parts of the project. Journals should include; written descriptions, labeled sketches, data tables and graphs, questions, ideas, and problems. Use your journal daily!
Background Information– Why did you choose your question? Where did you get the idea? What real world application does it have? What science did you learn about your project/topic through research? Conduct research from a variety of sources (i.e. experts, research articles, web pages, books). Sources must be cited.
Question- Your inquiry question must have a independent variable (x-axis) and an dependent variable (y-axis).
note: the independent variable is the variable you change in the experiment while the dependent variable is the corresponding measurement.
Hypothesis- This is your “educated”, predicted outcome of the inquiry. You will need to explain your thinking and reasoning in detail. A graph of your hypothesis would be a good visual to go along with your written explanation. Don’t forget the independent variable (x-axis) and an dependent variable (y-axis).
Part 2 due on or before Friday, December 9, 2016
Materials List and Procedure-
Go to the inquiry portal for guidance on this part or any part of the science fair project. Include a step by step list of the procedure you followed in your experiment. Write this section so that someone who doesn’t know anything about your project can follow what you did. Explain as though your audience is intelligent, but uninformed. Using diagrams along with your explanation of the procedure is a good idea.
Reading
Christmas Carol
