MATH (listed on Deacon Murphy's blog)
- Try to go on Khan Academy via our "We Are All Math Fans in Grade 5!" Google Classroom and work for 20 minutes. FYI, something happened when Deacon Murphy named his math class the same as mine, so when I changed my class title, the lessons seems to have disappeared...Nonetheless, URC48F74 is the code. If we have no luck, try Khan Academy directly. I have some fraction action waiting for you there!
