Project Overview

|
|
Entry event to launch inquiry, engage students:
|
The teacher will be dressed as a recognizable occupation with an example of how decimals, fractions, or percentages would be used in this career. Students will be reminded that all 5th grade students spend a lot of time in the school year working on these concepts, and need to know how they relate to real-world situations.
