Math+Properties

5th Grade Math Properties Unit

In this learning unit, students will use their knowledge of the Associative, Distributive, Commutative, Identity, and Inverse Properties to challenge each other and share their knowledge of these topics. Students have already learned about these properties and it is now time for them to use technology to show their skills.

Students will begin with a group project. The project will involve students creating a Glogster poster about one assigned property with their group members. Groups will be determined through posts on wallwisher. Students will add a note on my wallwisher page and list their top two property choices with a definition for each. Groups will be formed through responses. Groups will work together to create a poster on their assigned property that they will present to the class. This will be a review and note taking opportunity for all students. Each group will create practice quizzes that focus on their assigned property with Test Moz. Each quiz will have at least ten math problems that allow students to practice the properties presented by each group. After seeing all posters from Glogster and practicing all quizzes created by the groups, each student will create two examples of each property without saying what each example represents on Voice Thread independently. Students will be put into pairs and they will watch the others VoiceThread presentation to practice each property. Students will post their Glogster Poster, their Quiz, and the Voice Thread Project onto their personal Blogger page that is connected to our classroom page for other students to access.
