What we did this week in 5th grade

Here is what we did this week in room 404.In math we learned about factors,a factor is 6. 6 is a factor because it can go into a bigger number 24 .24 has all of these factors 1,24,2,8,3,6,4,12.We also learned about prime and composite numbers. Prime means that it only has 2 factors,itself and 1. Composite means that your number has many factors For Example,30 has 15,5,6,1,2,10. We also learned about equivalent fractions,an equivalent fraction is this, 1/3 and 2/6 are equivalent because they are equal.

In reading we have been reading because of Winn Dixie,and we have been working on character maps.

In writing we read narratives and wrote what we thought that the author did well.
