Today students took a practice test for Math Unit 5. Afterwards, we went over it and they had the opportunity to correct their answers and or copy sample answers. Here is the sample answers that we went over in class. Please encourage your student to show work even on the yes and no questions. On number lines, make sure that they label the numbers they land on and how big the jump is. The decomposing for subtraction is tricky because of having to break the 10’s to give to the 1’s. Also, The last story problem about basketball is more about why the strategy the girl uses is correct rather than getting the same answer. Is how she thought of 6+8 as 6+6=12+2 a good way to find her total? Please look at my examples. I hope they help.
