Math This Year

Math is split up into 8 different units. Here are the big ideas for each unit:

Unit One: Use an understanding of base-10 place value and to develop an understanding of decimals as numbers and develop and use procedures for adding and subtracting decimals.

Unit Two: Apply an understanding of place value strategies and multiplication algorithms to solve multi-digit multiplication problems in a variety of ways.

Unit Three: 
    Unit 3A Apply an understanding of place value strategies and division algorithms to represent and solve division problems in a variety of ways.

    Unit 3B
Apply an understanding of the four operations to analyze number relationships

Unit Four: 
     Unit 4A Apply an understanding of expressions and equations to develop and use formulas for perimeter and area problems involving rectangles.

    Unit 4B Select appropriate customary and metric units, strategies, and tools to solve problems involving measurement

Unit Five: 
The student applies mathematical process standards to:*represent and generate fractions to solve problems*compose and decompose fractions to add and subtract fractions with like denominators *use an understanding of benchmark fractions to estimate and evaluate reasonableness of sums and differences

Unit Six: 
    Unit 6A  Analyze geometric attributes in order to developgeneralizations about their properties.

    Unit 6B  Understand and apply characteristics of angles and angle measures.

Unit Seven:
    Unit 7A  Numerical data can be represented in a variety
of ways and can be used to solve problems. Rational number fluency is critical to being able to solve problems in everyday life that contain numerical data.

    Unit 7B  Rational number fluency is critical to being able to solve measurement and financial problems that arise in everyday life.

Unit Eight:
Rational number fluency is critical to being able to solve measurement and financial problems that arise in everyday life.

Unit One

Unit Summary: Students use understandings of base-10 place value to develop an understanding of decimals as numbers and develop procedures for adding and subtracting decimals.

Essential Questions:
 How does the base ten number system operate?
 How can numbers be represented to show the value of each digit?
 How does an understanding of place value help compare and order whole numbers and decimals?
 How can estimation help make sense of problems involving addition and subtraction?
 How is the standard algorithm for addition and subtraction similar place value strategies for addition and subtraction?
 How are addition and subtraction of whole numbers similar to addition and subtraction of decimals?
 How can strip diagrams and equations be used to represent addition and subtraction?
