Flashy 5th Grade Math

The Middle School math department has a new set of "Flashmasters".  Flashmasters are a hand held machine used to strengthen basic math facts. The tests can be timed or each problem can be timed.  There are 30 problems in a test and the results are shown at the end of the test.  Our goal is to have the 5th graders spend 2 or 3 seconds to complete each problem within a test. Students are working on improving their adding, subtracting, multiplication, and division facts!

The 5th grade have been learning about fractions, decimals, and percent equivalents.  For fun, each student was given a bag of M &M's. They had to write a fraction, decimal and the percent of each M & M color in the bag. It was a yummy math assignment!
