Happy Thanksgiving

Wishing everyone a peaceful break this November and to those who celebrate, Happy Thanksgiving.  

I will see you back at school in December!

Mean, Median,Mode, & Range

This week our LMM 5th graders worked with Mean, Median, Mode, and Range. The students created a statistical question and researched a data set.  The students then used Mean, Median, Mode, and Range to answer their statistical questions.

What have we been Reading?

In our 4th/5th grade class at Walton we have been reading Serafina and the Black Cloak.  This is a suspenseful mystery book with quite a few spooky surprises!  So far we have read about a mysterious man in a black cloak, Serafina's mysterious beginnings, and a missing girl in a yellow dress. 

The story takes place at the Biltmore Estate a real life mansion in North Carolina.  We have watch some videos and have been studying pictures of the mansion to see where the story takes place. 

I don't want to give too much away because I know how the story ends, but let's just say that the students won't expect what is going to happen by the end of the book!  

Irrational Numbers - WAL/LMM GR6

This week our sixth grade Math students at both Walton and Luis Munoz Marin are learning about rational and irrational numbers.  We started out the year with adding and subtraction integers (positive and negative whole numbers) and then we moved onto fractions, decimals, and percentages including terminating and repeating decimals.  Don't forget, students, a repeating decimal CAN be written as a fraction so it IS a rational number!!

Irrational numbers are numbers like π or √2 which cannot be written as a fraction.  These numbers continue on forever without repeating or terminating.


Now you know the advanced Math topics that are challenging our 6th graders!
