This year the Math curriculum is Eureka Squared. Its learning design allows your student to build a deep conceptual understanding of mathematics that will better prepare them for college, career, and beyond. This year will consist of 6 modules - Place Value Concepts for Addition and Subtraction, Place Value Concepts for Multiplication and Division, Multiplying and Dividing Multi-digit Numbers, Foundations for Fraction Operations, Place Value Concepts for Decimal Fractions, and Angle Measurements and Plane Figures. The students will each receive two workbooks - a Learn and Apply book.
In module 1, students use multiplicative comparisons to describe place value relationships and the relative sizes of metric units. They build fluency with the standard algorithm for addition and subtraction with numbers of up to 6 digits.
In module 2, students multiply two-digit numbers by one-digit numbers by using the distributive property. They divide two- and three-digit numbers by one-digit numbers by using the break apart and distribute strategy. Students apply their multiplication skills to convert customary units of length. They also identify factors and multiples of numbers within 100.
In module 3 students multiply numbers of up to four digits by one-digit numbers and two-digit numbers by two-digit numbers. Students also divide numbers of up to four digits by one-digit numbers, resulting in whole-number quotients and remainders.
In module 4, students rename fractions greater than 1 as mixed numbers, generate equivalent fractions, compare fractions with unlike units, and add and subtract fractions and mixed numbers with like units. Students also multiply fractions and mixed numbers by whole numbers.
Module 5 extends students’ understanding of tenths and hundredths as fractional units to recognizing tenths and hundredths as place value units. They compare decimal numbers and add mixed numbers and fractions with the unlike, but related, units of tenths and hundredths.
In module 6, students identify attributes of polygons including side length and the presence or absence of pairs of parallel sides, pairs of perpendicular sides, and angle types. They use protractors to measure and draw angles accurately. Students also identify and draw lines of symmetry.
