💻 Outschool: 5th Grade Math Full Curriculum: Fractions, Decimals, Geometry & Volume | CCSS (18 of 44)
Mixed-number addition and subtraction today. Your quick mental math is a strength; write each step in your notebook so you can show and check how you got there.

Bring yesterday’s dry emotion painting. Set out paints, brushes, water cup, palette/paper plate, watercolor or mixed-media paper, pencil, and paper towels; black marker/paint pen and mirror/photo are optional.
