Things to remember about prime factorization

Determining the prime factorization of a number.
*the same numbers in a different order are the same not (different combinations)

1. There is only one set of prime numbers, per number (product),(they are always the same)
2. They always consist of prime numbers only (1,2,3,5,7…….)
3. Always end up with the same set of prime numbers, for a number; even if two different factors are used (8*3=24 or 12*2=24)
4. The prime factors are never the same for different numbers (the prime factor for 12 will be different then for 24 and any other number.
5. Practice using the factor tree and circling the prime numbers as they arise.
6. Remember, if looking for the prime factorization of a large number like 240, begin with the prime factorization for 24 then the factors of 10 (24*10=240)

Practice your multiplication facts and enjoy your time off. Please complete your packets.

Math
Workbook, pages 69,70,71 and 72

Students have to practice the multiplication facts. They should know all of the facts from 1 x 1 through 12 x 12, from memory. For example they should not have to think about what is 9 x 6, they should know it is 54.

Please practice this daily.

Note to parents

 

Hello! This is our 2nd week of school. We have so many new and exciting things going on this year.

 

Well, let me begin with telling you how happy I am to be your child’s 5th grade math and science teacher.  We have already covered so many topics that your child has participated in; there is the HIV/AIDS awareness and the new math curriculum “Investigations”.

The HIV/AIDS curriculum is as follows:

 How do the lessons help students to stay healthy?

The updated HIV/AIDS curriculum provides age and developmentally appropriate lessons to help children and adolescents understand the nature of HIV/AIDS, methods of transmission and prevention, and ways to support friends or loved ones who may be living with HIV/AIDS. Lessons use strategies that reinforce the importance of communicating with parents/guardians, teachers, and other caring and appropriate adults in their lives. Interactive activities foster communication skills, assertiveness, planning and goal setting, decision making, and limit setting

Topics covered

•How does the body protect itself from disease?

•How is HIV transmitted?

•How can we reduce our risk behaviors?

•How has HIV/AIDS affected society?

•What resources provide HIV/AIDS information and help?

SAMPLES OF WHAT STUDENTS LEARN

Grades 4-6: Activities focus on how to resist negative peer pressure and “choose companions who share your beliefs, values, and interests.” Lessons include drug-related HIV transmission. Students are told to stay away from alcohol and other drugs, and never to share needles or other sharp objects that can transmit blood from one person to another. Sexual transmission of HIV is introduced, and students are urged to abstain from sexual contact. Abstinence from sexual intercourse is emphasized as the only 100% effective way to prevent infection. Students are advised on how to cope with pressure not only from peers, but also from older adolescents who may attempt to coerce them into risky behaviors
