Investigations in 5th Grade Math

The document summarizes a 5th grade mathematics lesson on multiplying and dividing decimals taught by Briana Owens during her student teaching placement. The central focus of the lesson is for students to practice reading word problems and determining whether multiplication or division is required to solve it. Students will then use the appropriate algorithm to calculate the answer. Formative assessment includes an exit ticket where students show their work solving word problems involving decimals and identifying the operation. The rubric evaluates students' conceptual understanding of operations, procedural fluency in calculations, and ability to reason through problem solving.
