Math Overview

Operations and Algebraic Thinking

       o   Understand patterns and relationships
       o   Use the four operations with whole numbers to solve problems.
       o   Gain familiarity with factors and multiples.
       o   Generate and analyze patterns.

Number and Operations in Base Ten

       o Generalize place value understanding for multi-digit whole numbers.
       o Use place value understanding and properties of operations to perform multi-digit
         arithmetic.
       o Generalize their understanding of place value to 1,000,000, understanding the
         relative sizes of numbers in each place;
       o Apply their understanding of models for multiplication (equal-sized groups, arrays,
         area models), place value, and properties of operations as they develop, discuss, and
         use efficient, accurate, and generalizable methods to compute products of multi-
         digit whole numbers;
       o Select and accurately apply appropriate methods to estimate or mentally calculate
         products, depending on the numbers and the context;
       o Develop fluency with efficient procedures for multiplying whole numbers;
         understand and explain why the procedures work based on place value and
         properties of operations; and use them to solve problems;
       o Apply their understanding of models for division, place value, properties of
         operations, and the relationship of division to multiplication as they develop,
         discuss, and use efficient, accurate, and generalizable procedures to find quotients
         involving multi-digit dividends; and
       o Select and accurately apply appropriate methods to estimate and mentally calculate
         quotients, and interpret remainders based upon the context.

Number and Operations - Fractions

       o Extend understanding of fraction equivalence and ordering.
       o Build fractions from unit fractions by applying and extending previous
         understandings of operations on whole numbers.
       o Understand decimal notation for fractions, and compare decimal fractions.
       o Develop understanding of fraction equivalence and operations with fractions;
       o Recognize that two different fractions can be equal (e.g., 15/9 = 5/3), and develop
         methods for generating and recognizing equivalent fractions; and

                                                                                               4
                                        ©Learning Pods
o Extend previous understandings about how fractions are built from unit fractions,
        composing fractions from unit fractions, decomposing fractions into unit fractions,
        and using the meaning of fractions and the meaning of multiplication to multiply a
        fraction by a whole number.

Measurement, Data and Statistics

      o Solve problems involving measurement and conversion of measurements from a
        larger unit to a smaller unit.
      o Represent and interpret data.
      o Geometric measurement: understand concepts of angle and measure angles.

Geometry

   o Draw and identify lines and angles, and classify shapes by properties of their lines and
     angles.
   o Deepen their understanding of properties of two-dimensional shapes (e.g., angles,
     parallelism, and symmetry).

                                                                                                5
