5th Grade Henrico Math Websites

Fifth grade students in Ms. Allen’s class at Laburnum Elementary have been learning about important places in Henrico County (HC.1). They have also been studying 2-digit multiplication in math. So today we combined the two topics into one lesson. First the students had to pick two famous places in Henrico County and use Google Maps to figure out the distance between them. Next we went to CheckThis and created a website with the embedded map and a word problem that involved multiplying the distance by a specific number. For example, a person might have to travel back and forth between the two places a certain number of times. Then the students created a poll question with various answers that visitors could choose. I posted all of their sites onto one page that you can see here. Students can answer each others’ questions to review multiplication as well as places in Henrico County.
