Dear GCPS Families, As we move through the 4th quarter of the school year we are providing new content

through 3 two-week Modules. These are similar to the take home packets previously

provided. Each will outline a recommended timeline to follow. If you are unable to access

online material, the paper packet covers the same skills and provides some practice

assignments. The GCPS Continuity for Learning Framework suggests that students spend

time each morning and afternoon on math content. Please help your child set aside time

each day, in a way that works best for your family, to stay on track. We understand that

students work at different paces. Some will take longer while others work quickly. We don’t

want students stuck on an activity for a long period of time. Assignments are due by the

Monday after the module ends. Your child’s teacher will provide further guidance regarding

on-line learning.

There are several activities your child can do independently:

•Facts practice-either online at XTRAMATH.org or paper/pencil practice attached to packet

•IXL-refer to suggested skills in grade level packet. Students are also encouraged to use the

“Diagnostic” and “Recommended Skills” features of the IXL program.

•Daily Reviews-These review previously taught skills.

•Problem solving-there are problems included in your module. If students need more

practice you can give your student 2 (or more) numbers and have them write a math story

problem using them. Then have them solve the problem!

•Skill Checks-after completing new content the skill check is intended to check for

learning/understanding. Have your child complete this on his/her own.

#Online links can be accessed in a single location by going to www.portaportal.com and

entering “GCPSMATH” in the Guest Access box. Links are organized by grade level and by

link recommended for all grade levels.

HELPFUL HINTS for IXL

When beginning a new skill, students can click on “Learn with an example” at the top of the

page. This will help them to understand what will be asked before they start answering

questions. If students get answers incorrect they should READ the “Explanation” for the

correct answer BEFORE clicking “Got it”. If students are still having difficulty answering

questions correctly they can look for “Not feeling ready yet? This can help:” at the bottom

of the page. This will link them to skills that may help them with the current skills.

Patterns Study Guide

A pattern is something that happens over and over again. It is something that you can

predict.

You can find patterns in letters, numbers, shapes, colors, and nature.

One type of pattern is a repeating pattern. Here are some examples of repeating

patterns.

ABABABAB 12121212

The CORE of the pattern is the part that repeats.

AB ABABAB 12 121212

Complete the repeating patterns and circle the core.

Day 6 Patterns Study Guide

Another type of pattern is a growing pattern. A growing pattern has a part that grows.

ABAABAAABAAAAB 12122122212222

Which letter grew? Which number Which shape grew? grew?

Another type of pattern is a NUMBER pattern. Here are some examples of number patterns.

4 7 10 13 15 20 25 30 20 18 16 14 Increasing by 3 Increasing by 5 Decreasing by two

Look at the number patterns. Write the next two numbers in the pattern and then circle increasing (getting larger) or decreasing (getting smaller)

4 8 12 ____ ____ 40 30 20 ____ ____ Increasing Decreasing Increasing Decreasing
