Mr. Grubb=s Resource Lab

Van Buren Elementary

Dear Parents,

The Fifth Grade has worked to learn multiplication of two and three digit numbers by two digit numbers.  They are working with addition of fractions with common and different denominators greater than one and less than nine.  They are learning to convert fractions to decimals.  This allows the student to become more efficient at problem solving.  The fifth grade is solving problems using multiplication of numbers and the placement of decimals in the answer.

The students have constructed a tangram.  The math lab allows students to work on current class objectives while expanding and becoming more efficient at problem solving.

The fifth grade is constructing and studying the properties of triangle.  They calculate the perimeter and square area of triangles.  During the first part of the semester we constructed triangular pyramids.  We are currently constructing cubes, calculating the area, and volume. 

I am in the process of constructing a web page for students to do math on line.  Mr.  Grubb=s Virtual Classroom can be found on the Van Buren School Home page.  The Kindergarten page is complete if your child would like to use it.

Sincerely,

Mr. Grubb
