Unit Two: Place Value Concepts

 

Student Learning Targets:
    I can use the four operations to make sense of quantities and solve complex problems in context.

  I can form generalizations based on repeated reasoning.

 

Students will understand that…

  • in a multi-digit whole number, a digit in one place represents ten times what it would represent in the place immediately to the right.

  • computation strategies based on place value and decomposing numbers are efficient strategies for mental computation.

Students will understand that…

  • a pattern may be created based on a rule.

  • some patterns grow.

  • some patterns repeat.

  • a rule may be used to find the next consecutive term in a pattern.

  • a rule may be used to find the nth term in a pattern.

Unit Three: Developing Fraction Concepts


Student Learning Targets:
    I can use what I know about whole numbers to understand and use fractions to solve real world problems.

 

Students will understand that…

  • fractions are numbers.

  • comparisons are only valid when the wholes are equal.

  • 𝑛/𝑛 is a representation of 1.

  • fractions may be compared using various strategies.

  • when joining fractions, groups of a particular size portion are combined (i.e., 3/4 + 5/4 = 3 one-fourths + 5 one-fourths).

  • fractions can be decomposed in multiple ways.

Unit Five: Extending Fraction Concepts

 

Student Learning Targets:

Students will understand that…

  • fractions are numbers.

  • when joining fractions groups of a particular size portion are combined (i.e., 3/4 + 5/4 = 3 one-fourths + 5 one-fourths).

  • Fractions can be represented as decimals.

  • Multiplication can be used to combine like addends or to find a portion of a number.

Student Learning Targets:
    I can use the four operations to make sense of quantities and solve complex problems in context.

  • in a multi-digit whole number, a digit in one place represents ten times what it would represent in the place immediately to the right.

  • computation strategies based on place value and decomposing numbers are efficient strategies for mental computation.

  • remainders should be represented based on the context of the problem.

  • a digit’s position affects its value. 

  • known multiplication facts may be used to determine unknown products and quotients.

  • angle measures are additive.

  • angle measures can be found using a protractor.

  • angles may be less than, equal to, or greater than 90⁰.

  • angles are classified based on their measure.

  • shapes may be classified based on the types of angles within.

  • two-dimensional shapes may or may not have line symmetry.
