For Dana Donner's fifth-grade math class:

Here are the steps for accessing the fifth-grade math book online:

The “Math Connects” textbook has a website with a great deal of information, including help with lessons, the entire student text, math facts practice and “personal tutors.”  Follow these directions to access the student edition:

1.       Go to www.macmillanmh.com

2.       At the bottom of the page, under “Online Learning Center,” click “Math.”

3.       Click the “Grade 5” textbook cover.

4.       Under “Online Tools,” click the student edition (“StudentWorks Plus Online”).

5.       A window will come up asking for “Student Login.” Enter the access code: F08DB0A5C1. (This needs to be ALL CAPS and those are zeros, not the letter “O”.) You will be taken to the student textbook!  No need to bring that heavy book home!

6.       Check out all the other ways to help your student in math on this wonderful website!

In math, we also have been learning Lattice Multiplication to help with larger products. Here is an excellent video to show you the steps: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VoXJA-9WzNI
