Harman's 5th Grade Math






Math class begins everyday with a small review quiz. These quizes target previously covered SOL items and are an attempt to help students keep the material in mind. Different SOL objectives are covered on each quiz. I instruct the students briefly and ask for questions before they begin.

Homework is assigned daily to give students some opportunity practice the new skill they have learned in class. Remember, that new skill could show up on a daily quiz and students completing homework will know if they need to ask me questions.

I have listed some fun math websites below (under the "Useful Links" section) for extra practice
