A new social contract (for the digital age)Anne Collier
A new social contract has been established through terms of service agreements where users consent to using technology. This contract is dynamic and distributed, giving both rights and responsibilities to all signatories including users, government, and industry. Ongoing discussion between these groups is needed to continually evaluate and evolve the conditions as technology changes and impacts society.
A group of 5th grade students visited Happy Valley Cemetery in Hong Kong to learn about the city's past. By exploring the cemetery and examining graves from different eras, the students discovered that in earlier periods of Hong Kong's history there was lack of medical supplies, the population was multinational, and people were sometimes segregated by nationality or religion within the cemetery. The students also found it interesting that there were many military deaths in the 1950s despite no invasion occurring at that time in Hong Kong. Overall, the field trip provided insights into life and demographics in Hong Kong in the past.
This document provides advice from a 5th grader to help with the transition to 6th grade. It discusses making new friends by being yourself. It describes 6th grade as an exciting rollercoaster that prepares you for upper school, and advises getting a good teacher. It stresses the importance of setting achievable goals at the beginning of the year such as making new friends, staying informed, and improving writing skills.
The document discusses a group project by Esme, Brett, Max, and Jackie about gaming systems. It notes the date of March 22, 2013 and includes a question and solution section about calculating depreciation of a gaming system over 4 years. The question asks how much the system would cost after 2 years if it was originally worth $320 and was worth $140 after 4 years. The solution shows the work of calculating the $90 depreciation over 2 years and determining the cost would be $50 after 2 years.

1) James records in his diary about being bullied by some boys, Tom Miller, Jerry Ma, and William Turner, at his school in New York City.
2) Despite telling a teacher about the bullying, the teacher refuses to help and the bullying gets worse, with more students joining in to laugh at James.
3) James decides to leave New York and transfer to a new school, St. Dominic Academy in Jersey City. He hopes for a fresh start without bullying.
The document discusses a math problem involving calculating the cost of printing newspapers to break even. It states that each roll of newsprint can make 100 copies, and they need 87 rolls at $75 per roll, for a total cost of $6525. To break even and recover costs by selling the 8700 total copies, each copy would need to be sold for 75 cents. It concludes by saying the group found the math problem simple and hopes future problems are more challenging.
The document describes an activity where students are split into groups and tasked with figuring out how to transport a group of adults and children across a river using a canoe that can carry either one adult or one to two children each trip. The narrator's group determines that the two children should make the first trip, followed by alternating trips of a child and adult to transport all 8 adults and 2 children across in 33 trips. They then solve a modified version with one less adult, requiring 29 trips. Finally, the students are asked to generate their own scenarios and discover the function is to multiply the number of adults by 4 and add 1 to determine the number of trips.
The document discusses solving two problems related to chocolate ice cream purchases for a school barbecue with 350 expected attendees. It is estimated that 140 people will purchase chocolate ice cream based on past data showing 4 in 10 people choose that flavor. It is then calculated that 35 kg of chocolate ice cream should be purchased based on an expected consumption of 250 grams per person.
The document discusses various math concepts including numbers, operations, place value, expanded form, positive and negative numbers, and number lines. It explains that numbers extend infinitely in both positive and negative directions, with zero in the middle. The four basic operations - addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division - are introduced as important math skills. Place value and expanded form involve organizing numbers into categories based on their value. Positive numbers are above zero while negative numbers are below zero. Number lines provide a way to visualize numbers and operations.
Measurement is used in everyday life to quantify properties like distance, weight, volume, and temperature. Common units of measurement include meters, grams, and liters. We measure things to know properties like how far away a destination is, our weight, or if we have a fever. Measurement is essential for tasks like building structures, cooking, and medical examinations. Nearly everything in the world can be measured using tools like rulers, clocks, scales, measuring tapes, and thermometers.
PI is an irrational number represented by 3.14 that is used to calculate the circumference of circles. It has an infinite number of digits and the first 50 digits are used to find the circumference of the universe. PI is significant because it is used in calculations for geometry and has applications in engineering and physics problems involving circles.
The students visited a cemetery and found that soldiers who fought in wars and people who drowned at sea were commonly buried there. The most common age of death was 30, as that was when many soldiers died. Soldiers made up many of the deaths because Hong Kong saw fighting between different countries. A monument honors those who drowned but could not be found. England is the most common country of origin for the deceased because Hong Kong was formerly a British colony.
Pi is an important mathematical constant that is approximately equal to 3.14159. It represents the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, and appears in solutions for finding circumference and diameter. Pi has been studied and used for centuries, and is an irrational number that continues infinitely without repetition. Scientists have calculated over six billion digits of Pi so far.
The document introduces the concept of using Da Vinci style journaling in mathematics. It provides background information on Leonardo Da Vinci, noting that he was an Italian polymath born in 1452 who is renowned for works like the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper. Da Vinci filled thousands of pages with sketches and notes written backwards, and this document suggests using a similar journaling approach in mathematics to document thinking, strategies, questions, and reflections.
Fractions can be converted to decimals by dividing the numerator by the denominator. For example, 3/4 equals 0.75 when 4 is divided by 3. Decimals can also be easily converted to percentages by moving the decimal point two places to the right. So 0.78 written as a percentage is 78%.

Equivalent, simplifying and ordering fractionsgrade5a
Fractions can be equivalent even if they look different, like 1/2 and 2/4, because they represent the same amount. Simplifying fractions makes them easier to understand by reducing the numerator and denominator by the same factor, such as reducing 6/12 to 1/2. Ordering fractions from least to greatest uses comparisons, where a fraction with a smaller numerator and denominator is less than one with a larger top and bottom numbers.
Pi is an irrational number represented by the Greek letter π that is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. It has infinite non-repeating digits and is used to calculate the circumference and area of circles, cylinders, and spheres. Some argue the constant tau, which is equal to 2π, should replace pi in formulas since many equations involve 2π. Pi has been calculated to over 10 trillion digits and almost became legally defined as 3.2 in the late 19th century.
The document discusses different aspects of measurement including how it is used in daily life and school, various measuring tools, units of measurement in the metric system, the field of geometry, and tools used in geometry. Measurement is used to quantify attributes like length, time, volume, and angles. Common measuring devices include rulers, clocks, tape measures, and protractors.
A survey of 18 people found that most average 1 conflict per day, with collaborating being the most common way of solving conflicts. Respondents reported having the most conflicts with family members, and said their values mostly come from family. The majority of conflicts revolve around family issues. People tend to look at opposing perspectives in conflicts and strongly agreed that differences in values can cause conflicts handled in various ways.
