Unit 6 - Fractions
Test Date: 2/11/20
Fractions are so much fun! We will learn to find and represent the fraction of a whole shape, the fraction of a set of shapes, fractions on a number line and fractions of a number strip. We will also learn to compare fractions with like denominators and like numerators by drawing pictures and using fraction strips.
Unit 1 - Place Value (test date 9/10)
Our first unit in math involves reading, writing and representing numbers through the hundred thousands place. Students will be asked to compare and order numbers based on their value. This unit lasts 3 weeks. At the end, we will take a district wide assessment over place value.

Week 1 -
Representing Numbers
The first week we will learn to represent numbers 5 ways... Pictorial Form, Standard Form, Word Form, Expanded Form and Expanded Notation.
Week 2 -
Ordering Numbers
The second week we will focus on ordering numbers based on their value. We will order and compare numbers as well as explore the value of a number that is 10 x bigger.
Week 3 -
Real World Applications
The third week we will focus on applying what we have learned to real world problems and situations.
Unit 2 - Addition and Subtraction (test date: Friday, October 4th)
Our next unit will be covering the concepts of addition and subtraction. We will learn how to use number lines, algorithms, strip diagrams and the decomposing strategies to both add and subtract three digit numbers with regrouping. We will also learn to estimate by rounding to the 10's and the 100's place. A big focus in this unit will be learning when to add and when to subtract in real world situations.
Click the button below for review questions. To optimize their review time, have your child cut out the problems and spend time sorting them by operation. (If you should add or subtract.) Then they can solve each problem. Ask them to show you the problem solving strategies they have learned in class!!
Unit 3 - Multiplication!!! (unit ends 10/25: No test - will be tested with unit 4)
Multiplication is here!!! We are so excited to begin our much anticipated multiplication unit! This unit focuses on how to represent multiplication, and ensuring the students have a solid knowledge of what multiplication is and how they can use it. We will be using Equal Groups, Repeated Addition, Skip Counting on a Number Line, Arrays and Area Models to represent and solve basic multiplication problems. We will also learn about the commutative, associative and distributive properties of multiplication. We do not expect students to have their facts memorized at this time, but will start working on facts one fact at a time during the second week of this unit. We will be working on multiplication fluency until Spring Break a little at a time. (see the fact fluency timeline)
Unit 4 - Division Test Date: Thursday 11/14
We have now mastered the concept of multiplication and are using this knowledge to learn the concept of division. Remember we are working on our fluency, but will not be expected to know all of our multiplication facts until after Spring Break. Just as we did with multiplication, we will be using a variety of strategies to solve division problems such as: equal groups, repeated subtraction, skip counting, number lines and strip diagrams. We will also learn how to use fact families to compare and solve both multiplication and division problems.

Unit 5 - All Operations
Test Date: Thursday 1/9
In our all operations unit we focus on solving real life math problems that require the use of adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing. We will be using the problem solving skills we have learned all year to solve one and two step problems. We will also learn to use input/output boxes to help us solve.
