Hands On Math Activity Booklets - Grade 5

5.NSO.2.3 – Add and subtract multi-digit numbers with decimals to the thousandths, including using a standard algorithm with procedural fluency.

OBJECTIVE: Students will learn how to add and subtract decimals using a standard algorithm.

MATERIALS: (Per 2 students) 1 set of School Supply Cards 2 Recording Tables 1 regular die (six-sided) 2 pencils 2 dry erase boards 2 dry erase markers 2 dry erasers

LESSON DISCUSSION: • Review decimal place values—tenths, hundredths, and thousandths.

• Review how to add and subtract decimals. Remind students that all place values must be vertically aligned before adding or subtracting.

Teacher preparation: Step 1: Cut out a set of School Supply Cards for each pair of students.

Step 2: Print out and cut the Recording Table paper in half so each student will have their own half-sheet.

Procedure: Step 1: Have the students get into groups of 2. Distribute the materials to each group.

Step 2: Ask the students to shuffle and place the School Supply Cards facedown on their desks. To determine who goes first, the students will roll the die, and the person who rolls the higher number will go first.

Step 3: Tell students they will pretend to be teachers with $150.00 to spend to buy extra school supplies for their students. The first student will flip over a School Supply Card and roll the die. The number they roll indicates how many of that item they will purchase. For example, if the student rolls a “3” and flips over the scissors, they will need to purchase 3 scissors at $1.99 each.

Step 4: Ask students to use addition to calculate the total cost of their purchase on their Recording Sheet and keep their card. For example, to purchase 3 scissors, the student would add $1.99 three times. Students can use their dry erase boards to solve.

Step 5: Students will repeat step 3 and 4 until there are no more School Supply Cards in the deck.

Step 6: Have the students calculate the total amount of money they spent on their school supplies.

Step 7: Ask students to subtract the total amount they spent from the total amount of money they started with. The student who spent the closest to $150.00 without going over wins.

Essential Question for Discussion or Journaling: Why is it important to vertically align each place value when adding decimals?

Teacher preparation: Step 1: Print and cut out recipe cards for each group of students. Place the cards in an envelope.

Step 2: Print and place a Recording Sheet in a Write and Wipe holder for each group.

Procedure: Step 1: Divide students into groups of 3 and pass out their materials.

Step 2: Instruct students to roll the die. The student who rolled the largest number will select a card from the envelope first, then the student with the second largest roll will go next, followed by the last student who gets the last card.

Step 3: Explain to students that they will need to divide the ingredients by the whole number or unit fraction given based on the instructions on the recipe card they selected.

Step 4: The students in the group will work independently to solve their recipe cards using their dry erase boards and fill out the Recording Sheet with their answers. They will check each other’s work for accuracy. The first group to finish their Recording Sheet with the correct answers first will win.

Step 5: Once all the groups are done, review all the answers with the class.

Extension Activity Step 1: Ask each group to create their own recipe card with ingredients and instructions, along with an answer key on the back of their Write and Wipe holder.

Step 2: Groups will trade Write and wipe holders and solve each other’s recipes, checking the answer keys when finished.

Essential Questions for Discussion or Journaling: (1) When dividing a unit fraction by a whole number, does the unit fraction become smaller or bigger?

(2) When dividing a whole number by a unit fraction, does the whole number become smaller or bigger?

5.GR.3.2 – Find the volume of a right rectangular prism with whole-number side lengths using a visual model and a formula.

OBJECTIVE: Students will learn and understand how to find volumes by counting unit cubes and using the volume formula.

MATERIALS: (Per Group of 4) 1 sheet of cardstock 1 pencil 1 pair of scissors 1 metric ruler 12 inches of masking tape 25 one-inch wooden cubes LESSON DISCUSSION: Explain that volume is the quantity of space enclosed by some boundary, i.e., the space that a shape occupies or contains.

Procedure: Step 1: Start the activity by asking students to form groups of 4. Distribute materials to each group.

Step 2: Instruct the groups to use the cardstock to create a box. Students start by measuring, drawing, and cutting an 8-inch × 7-inch rectangle from the sheet of cardstock.

Step 3: Tell the students to cut a 2-inch × 2-inch square from each corner of the 8-inch × 7-inch rectangle.

4 inches 2 inches 3 inches 2 inches

Step 4: Students are to create a box by connecting the corners using masking tape.

216 | Hands On Math | Educational Bootcamp

Step 5: Ask the groups to measure their box using the metric ruler. The box should have a length of 4 inches, width of 3 inches, and height of 2 inches.

Step 6: Ask the groups to guess the volume of the box.

Step 7: Explain that to find the actual volume of the box, they will arrange wooden cubes inside the box. Students should make sure the box is completely filled and there is no extra space inside the box.

Step 8: Tell each group to count the number of wooden cubes inside the box. There should be 24 wooden cubes inside.

Step 9: Ask students to compare the actual number of wooden cubes to their predictions.

Step 10: Ask students to use the volume formula to determine the volume of the rectangular box. Was the volume the same as when they counted the wooden cubes?

Step 11: Have students explain why the number of wooden cubes is equal to the volume of the rectangular box.

Extension Activity Instruct groups to create another rectangular shape with different dimensions that has the same volume as the box they created using only the 24 wooden cubes. Let each group share their findings with the entire class.

Essential Questions for Discussion or Journaling: (1) Explain how the inside of a 3-D figure may be represented.

(2) Describe the dimensions of a box that can be filled with 32 wooden cubes.

(3) Draw the template for the box dimensions described in Question 2.
