Unit 1 - Numbers and Operations
Big Ideas from this Unit: Understanding and using Order of Operations, practicing multiplication and division using a variety of methods, ordering and rounding decimals up to the thousandths place, adding and subtracting decimals, and financial literacy (balancing a budget, recording a financial record, and gross vs. net income)

Factorization of Numbers with Arrays Interactive Practice
- Students practice building arrays (rectangles) that equal up to the automated number. Students type the factorization in the box to the right. For example, the number 24 can be made with an array of 4 squares by 6 squares so one of the factorization will be 4 x 6. Psst! Don't forget every number has a factor of 1
- A challenging game where you try to reach a target number by using all four operations ( +, -, x, ÷ )
Addition / Subtraction
Addition / Subtraction
- Visualize word problems using models and representations to solve for the answer. Students should work on the more challenging puzzles such as the compare 2-step, change 2-step, work backwards, and compare 3-step puzzles.

Unit 2 - 2d geometry and measurement
Unit 2 - 2d geometry and measurement
Big Ideas from this Unit: Understanding how to read coordinate grids, plotting ordered pairs on coordinate grids, classifying triangles by their attributes, classifying quadrilaterals by their attributes, calculating area of composite figures using formulas, and calculating perimeter of composite figures using formulas
2D Shapes
2D Shapes
- The polygons we focus on in this unit are triangles and quadrilaterals.
- Triangles- Students should practice creating equilateral, scalene, and isosceles triangles by adjusting the side lengths. They can also create acute, right, and obtuse triangles by adjusting the angle measurements.
- Quadrilaterals- Students can practice creating parallelograms, trapezoids, kites, rectangles, rhombuses, and squares.
Angle Measurement
Angle Measurement
2D Shapes and Angle Measurements with Protractor
- The ability to accurately use a protractor to measure exact angle degrees is a lesson we have covered in class. Students can refine their skills at home with this online tool. Identify whether the angle is acute, right, or obtuse.
From Math Playground - Alien Angles Game
- Practice estimating and finding accurate measurement of obtuse, right, and acute angles. Remember! An obstuse and is one over 90 degrees but under 180. A right angle is exactly 90 degrees. And an acute angle is under 90 degrees but over 0.

Math Games Area of Complex Figures Practice
- Challenging. Find the area of the composite figure. There are two levels of difficulty, master the first to move onto the second.
READING AND GUIDE - Area of Composite Figures
- A read through students can do independently to study and see examples of how to find the area of a composite figure.

Coordinate Grids and Graphing Games
- Choose any one of the games to practice finding and placing coordinates on Quadrant 1 of a coordinate grid. We know there are actually 4 Quadrants, but you have to become proficient in the first before moving on to the other 3!
Diffuse the Bombs Coordinate Grid Game
- Diffuse the bombs by typing in the coordinates of the bomb, but watch out for the black holes!
Unit 3 - Bits and pieces
Unit 3 - Bits and pieces
Big Ideas from this Unit: In Bits and Pieces, students will practice finding equivalent fractions with models, fraction strips, and just the numbers! Students will also learn how to change between improper fractions to mixed numbers and vise versa. Finally, the students will practice adding and subtracting fractions with like AND unlike denominators. Students must learn to find the LCM (Least Common Multiple) to use as their "new" denominator when solving these challenging problems!

Unit 4 - 3d geometry and measurement
Unit 4 - 3d geometry and measurement
Big Ideas from this Unit: In 3D Geometry and Measurement, students will practice finding the volume of rectangular prisms and cubes. They will practice several strategies, but will mainly rely on the formulas (V = l x w x h) and (V = B x h). The students will understand that volume refers to how much space is inside of something and must be measured using a cubic unit. Students will also practice converting between units such as kilograms to grams or limiters to liters.

unit 5 - × and ÷ of fractions and decimals
unit 5 - × and ÷ of fractions and decimals
Big Ideas from this Unit: In our longest unit of the year, this unit can be broken down into 4 subsections which each last about a week. Students will begin first by practicing multiplying a whole number by a fraction and be able to represent it using a model. Then, students will solve division problems of a whole number divided by a unit fraction, as well as a unit fraction divided by a whole number. Again, representations are key when it comes to solving these problems. In the last half, students will practice multiplying and dividing decimals by whole numbers and by other decimals using the standard algorithm for multiplication and division.

Unit 6 - data and patterns analysis
Unit 6 - data and patterns analysis
Big Ideas from this Unit: This unit begins by identifying two types of patterns on input/output tables- Multiplicative and Additive. An additive pattern is one where the same number is added to the input (x) each time to get the output (y). For example: y = x + 5. A multiplicative pattern is one in which the input (x) is multiplied by the same number each time to get the output (y). For example: y = x ⋅ 5. Students will also practice graphing the data from these patterns onto coordinate grids by converting the data into ordered pairs.

STAAR Review Resources
STAAR Review Resources
Big Ideas: The STAAR Test will be over everything students have done thoughout the year. To best prepare, review all concepts from throughout the year. Student's math journals are an AMAZING review as they contain notes over everything we have done!
Released STAAR Questions
A great resource to prepare for this years STAAR is to review question from past STAAR tests. While the questions will not be exactly the same, they will be over the same concept or idea.
