Standard Division Algorithm and Science Fair

1. Everyone needs to get a netbook, log-on and get to this page by going to

CISD Website ⇨ A.V. Cato Website ⇨Staff Directory ⇨5th Grade ⇨ Jessica Batchko ⇨Technology Lesson

2. Go get your headphones from the pockets and plug them into your netbook.

3. Get out your Math Problem Solving Spirals and a pencil. You WILL be showing work today in you spirals!! Divide your first blank page into quarters.

4. Let's watch some other ways to get to understand division better:

I love sharing funny videos with my students, it was so cool hearing each student laugh while they were on this step.

Solve 225 divided by 9 in your Math Problem Solving Spirals with Mr. Branda on Educreations:http://www.educreations.com/lesson/view/long-division/360016/?ref=link

5. Complete 5 problems in your Math Problem Solving Spirals and type in your answer to check your work: http://www.thegreatmartinicompany.com/longarithmetic/longdivision.html

remember to check yourself throughout each problem by hovering over the ✔ and what shows up as blue is correct and red is incorrect.

6. Go the front table and get the "Completing Multiplication/Division Charts" worksheet from the front table. Give it to ANDY or EDWIN when you are done :)

7. Use your Problem Solving Spirals to complete these word problems and submit your answers on this, the "Name" question is where you put your name!

8. For the next 10 minutes you to review Science Vocabulary: ScientificMethod withOUT pictures on Quizlet by going to: http://quizlet.com/_o0ezk

9. Then you may begin working on your Science Fair Board Scientific method. Remember to use the template that I provided on the "Science Fair" webpage and be sure to save your work as you go!

Every year when teaching range, median and mode my students love to create their own survey and collect data and then calculate the range, median and mode from what they collected. I only get one week to teach statistics and I always feel rushed because the students need time to survey 25 people individually and then organize their information. In order to save time and help with organization, I decided that this year we would utilize GoogleDocs to create one large group survey so that we could send out the link to our peers and quickly get our results so we could calculate the range, median and mode of our questions. Let me just tell you... using Google Forms for surveys is incredibly easy and I use it frequently to ask my students questions, for online assessments and also to communicate with my 5th grade team. 

Here's what I did for my Statistics Tech Infused Lesson:

1. Create one Gmail account (teacher only)

2. Go to GoogleDocs and select Forms

3. Select a template and title your survey 

8. A beautifully organized list of each question with responses will be displayed in a spreadsheet, print it off, cut each question and give the results to each student and have them calculate the range, median and mode for their data.

*** I also had students use Excel to create a graph of their data and display their results they calculated on a Word
