Warm-Up 1
Day 5: Week 1 Review
Review whole numbers, decimals, fractions, and problem-solving habits from Days 1-4.
Student Goal
I can use what I practiced this week to solve mixed review problems.
Why It Matters
Mixed review helps students decide which strategy fits a problem instead of only practicing one skill at a time.
Warm-Up

Short Lesson
Standard Focus:
NC.6.NS: The Number System
Student-Friendly Standard Goal:
I can choose strategies for whole number, decimal, and fraction problems and explain my thinking.
- Mixed review helps you choose a strategy. Before solving, name the type of problem.
- For a word problem, write a short plan before calculating.
- Checking your answer is part of the work. Ask if the answer is reasonable for the situation.
