The 5th grade Decimal Safari Restaurant was open for business today! The room was full of laughter, learning, and lots of wild math! 🐘🐒 🦒 🧮

5th graders built Base 10 Animals today! 🐒🦒🦌🐯 They added up values to get a total, then found the difference with a partner’s animal 🧮 @MunfordElem @WendyBwgail @AshleyGableEDU

5th graders turned math into a Volume Zoo! After researching their animals and designing Canva presentations, they built their creatures out of rectangular prisms, calculated the volume of each box, and brought their zoo animals to life! 🦁🐢📦 @MunfordElem @AshleyGableEDU

Exploring volume the hands-on way! 📦 Students created boxes from grid paper and filled them with cubes to see how area grows into 3D space. @MunfordElem

Today we turned into math detectives! 🕵️‍♂️🔍 Students worked through case files full of problems to crack the big case while reviewing for our test. Lots of teamwork, problem-solving, and excitement filled the room! 🧩🧮 @MunfordElem @WendyBwgail @AshleyGableEDU

Students dove into a gallery walk today to take on error analysis with standard algorithm problems. The room was full of math talk, collaboration, and strategic thinking! 📝➕➗ @MunfordElem @AshleyGableEDU @WendyBwgail

Hands-on learning! 🧮 Students used base 10 blocks to connect the area model to partial products! They are able to visualize their strategies step by step. #leadingtheway #workingonmyroar @MunfordElem @TCBOE

I am so proud of our 5th graders and their hard work at the Innovation showcase! They used coding skills to program Ozobots and bring the water cycle to life—evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and collection in action! @MunfordElem @AshleyGableEDU

Battleship + coordinate plane = 5th grade FUN! 🛳️🎯 Students are plotting points, sinking ships, and mastering math with every move! @WendyBwgail @AshleyGableEDU

@MrsJohnson5th & Ms. Morrison’s 5th graders enjoyed learning about plotting coordinates today! Hands on makes learning fun, especially when you can eat a fun snack afterwards! 😋@MunfordElem @AshleyGableEDU @M_Green0910 @AMSTI_UM

@MrsJohnson5th graders were busy measuring their hands today and making line plots of the class measurements. @MunfordElem @AMSTI_UM @M_Green0910

Rolling into coding! 🚀 Had a blast presenting a PD session on using Spheros in the elementary classroom. Hands-on learning, problem-solving, and lots of 'aha' moments! 💡 @TCBOE @MunfordElem @AshleyGableEDU

We had a great day of classroom walkthroughs with fellow teachers! Loved diving deeper into math instruction and student thinking. Great things are happening at MES!! Thank you @WendyBwgail for all you do! @MunfordElem

Fractions as division just got sweeter! 🍫 Split a pack of Cosmic Brownies and ask: If 4 friends share 3 brownies, how many does each get? Then draw a model to show the division. Try different numbers to explore fractions as division! @MunfordElem @WendyBwgail @AshleyGableEDU

Seeing is understanding! 🧩 Fraction tiles help students master adding fractions with unlike denominators by making the process visual and hands-on. I am so proud of my students in room 111! @MunfordElem @AshleyGableEDU @WendyBwgail

Modeling how to add fractions with fraction tiles was a success!! 🎉 @MunfordElem @WendyBwgail

Room 111 is ready to operate on decimals tomorrow! 👨‍⚕️ 👩‍⚕️ 🩺 @MunfordElem @WendyBwgail @AshleyGableEDU

@MrsJohnson5th Ss are working hard exploring and learning dividing decimals. @MunfordElem @AshleyGableEDU @M_Green0910

Students had their first Games Unplugged meeting today! 🎲 Lots of fun, teamwork, and strategy with board and card games! @MunfordElem @AshleyGableEDU

@MrsJohnson5th Thanksgiving PBL is off to a great start! Groups added up their budgets and the class budget for a Thanksgiving meal for 8 people.Real world problem solving using their decimal knowledge they have been learning! @MunfordElem @AshleyGableEDU @M_Green0910 @AMSTI_UM
