      • Solve real-world and mathematical problems requiring addition, subtraction, and multiplication.
      • Apply the commutative, associative and distributive properties and order of operations to generate equivalent numerical expressions and to solve problems involving whole numbers. Example 2 + 10 x 3 / 2 = . or
      • Mean, Median, Mode

January - February

    • Division
      • Divide multi-digit numbers using efficient and generalizable procedures based on knowledge of place value, including standard algorithms. Recognize that quotients can be represented in a variety of ways, including a whole number with a remainder, a fraction or mixed number or a decimal.
      • Consider the context in which a problem is situated to select the most useful form of the quotient for the solution and use the context to interpret the quotient appropriately.

February - March

    • Geometry
      • Describe and classify three-dimensional figures including cubes, prisms and pyramids by the number of edges, faces or vertices as well as the types of faces.
      • Recognize and draw a net for a three-dimensional figure.
      • Develop and use formulas to determine the area of triangles, parallelograms and figures that can be decomposed into triangles.
      • Use various tools and strategies to measure the volume and surface area of objects that are shaped like rectangular prisms.
      • Understand that the volume of a three-dimensional figure can be found by counting the total number of same-sized cubic units that fill a shape without gaps or overlaps. Use cubic units to label volume measurements.

April - May

    • Algebra and Data and Measurement
      • Determine whether an equation or inequality involving a variable is true or false for a given value of the variable.
      • Represent real-world situations using equations and inequalities involving variables. Create real-world situations corresponding to equations and inequalities.
      • Evaluate expressions and solve equations involving variables when values for the variables are given.
      • Develop and use the formulas V = â„“wh and V = Bh to determine the volume of rectangular prisms. Justify why base area B and height h are multiplied to find the volume of a rectangular prism by breaking the prism into layers of unit cubes.
      • Create and use rules, tables, spreadsheets and graphs to describe patterns of change and solve problems.
      • Use a rule or table to represent ordered pairs of positive integers and graph these ordered pairs on a coordinate system.
      • Create and analyze double-bar graphs and line graphs by applying understanding of whole numbers, fractions and decimals. Know how to create spreadsheet tables and graphs to display data.
