Less than $5 5th Grade Reading Thematic Unit Plans (by date, oldest first)
MATH ENRICHMENT | ENRICHISSEMENT | SPORTS | ATHLETES (FRENCH)
By French Made Fun!
Pump up and motivate your strong math students with this engaging, hands-on project-based learning which will have them discovering the history of baseball cards, women in sports, math in sports, and finally working to create a statistical infographic on an athlete and a baseball card.
Do you teach a math enrichment class, or do you have students in your grades 5 and 6 classrooms who are on enrichment programs? Particularly when it comes to multi-levelled classrooms, the focus tends to be on the students with academic struggles, but our strong students need opportunities to push themselves and to stay engaged.
Mathematically-enriched students can be a challenge - and they crave independent, critical-thinking tasks that will allow them to explore the same content as their peers, but at a higher level. Your enriched students can explore any or all activities in this unit while their peers work through concepts they likely already understood before you started teaching it. You can then refocus your energy on a smaller group of students and make some progress! You've got this!
In this document, you'll discover 37 pages of activities, projects, research and artistic activities which will have your students keeping busy while your grade-level and below-grade level students can have you in other ways. I cover a lot of ground in this resource:
- Fractions: Comparing, adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing fractions.
- Decimals: Adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing decimal numbers.
- Percentages: Calculating percentages, converting between percentages, decimals, and fractions.
- Ratios: Calculating and comparing ratios.
- Statistics: Collecting, organizing, and interpreting statistical data including mean, median, mode, range, and frequency distribution.
- Graphs and Charts: Creating and interpreting bar graphs, line graphs, pie charts, and histograms.
- Measurement: Converting between different units of measurement, including metric and imperial units.
- Geometry: Identifying and working with angles, triangles, quadrilaterals, and geometric shapes in sports contexts.
- Input-Output Charts: Creating and interpreting input-output charts.
- Place Value: Understanding place value with whole numbers, decimals, and fractions.
- Data Analysis: Analyzing data sets, identifying trends, making predictions, and drawing conclusions.
- Financial Literacy: Understanding the costs associated with sports activities, including ticket prices, stadium construction costs, and budgeting for sports teams.
You'll find:
4 Reading Comprehension Passages (with questions and answer keys)
10 pages of challenging math problems (including their answer keys)
2 projects:
"Make your own baseball card" (Includes instructions and a template)
"Infographic on an athlete" (Includes instructions, a template for final infographic, a rubric, and activities to promote independent research)
This is the second of (hopefully) many enrichment projects for math. Here's another on constellations you and your students might enjoy!
For goodness sakes, don't forget to have fun.
