    Mathematics

    I can use patterns to know my ×5 facts.

    Look: 8 × 5

    1. The ×5 products end in 5 or 0.
    2. ×5 is half of ×10: 8 × 10 is 80.
    3. Half of 80 is 40, so 8 × 5 = 40.

    Multiply.

    I can use a diagram to answer questions and tell steps in order.

    The Life Cycle of a Frog

    This diagram shows four stages in a circle with arrows. A frog lays eggs in a pond. Each egg hatches into a tadpole, which swims with a tail and breathes with gills. The tadpole grows legs and becomes a froglet, which still has a short tail. The froglet becomes an adult frog that lives on land and in water. The adult lays eggs, and the cycle starts again.

    A circle diagram shows the frog life cycle: eggs, tadpole, froglet and adult frog, with arrows between the stages.
    Arrows show the order of the stages.

    Use the diagram to answer.

    1. 1.

      What comes right after the egg?

    2. 2.

      What stage comes right before the adult frog?

    3. 3.

      What happens after the adult lays eggs?

    4. 4.

      What do the arrows show?

    5. 5.

      Write the four stages with first, next, then and finally.

    6. 6.

      Which would show where a pond is in a park?

      ○ a diagram○ a map○ a chart

    Split each word into syllables.

    1. 7.

      apple

    2. 8.

      maple

    Challenge: Draw your own diagram of how a seed grows into a plant. Use labels and arrows.

    2. 2.

      What bounce 5 really was:

    Use the pattern to answer.

    1. 3.

      A ball bounces 40, 28, 20 and 14 inches. Is the next bounce higher or lower than 14?

    2. 4.

    Social Studies

    I can explain how Native nations learn and share knowledge of their land.

    The Saguaro Harvest

    The Tohono O'odham Nation lives in the Sonoran Desert of Arizona. Each year in early summer, families gather the red fruit of the tall saguaro cactus. They use long poles made from saguaro ribs to knock the fruit down. They cook the fruit into syrup and jam. The harvest marks the start of the O'odham new year. Elders teach children how and when to harvest, just as their own elders taught them.

    In the desert, a Tohono O'odham adult uses a long pole to knock fruit from the top of a tall saguaro cactus while a child holds a basket of fruit.

    Use the reading to answer.

    1. 1.

      When does the saguaro harvest happen?

    2. 2.

      What tool do people use?

    3. 3.

      Who teaches children how to harvest?

    4. 4.

      Name one way knowledge is passed down.

    Go outside. Pick one plant or tree and record what you notice.

    1. 5.

      My plant or tree:

    2. 6.

      3 things I notice:

    3. 7.

      Who could teach me more about it?

    Challenge: Name one way traditional land knowledge is used today.

    Materials: a local plant or tree
