ESSENTIAL UNDERSTANDING:

• Patterns & structures can be generalized when multiplying & dividing decimals

• There is a relationship between addition & subtraction

• Real-world mathematical situations can be represented using concrete models or drawings when adding & subtracting decimals (including decimals with whole numbers through hundreds place & decimals through hundredths place.    

• Real-world mathematical situations can be represented using concrete models or drawings when multiply whole numbers by decimals (whole numbers through the hundreds place & decimals through the hundredths place.)

• Real-world mathematical situations can be represented using concrete models or drawings when dividing whole numbers by decimals & decimals by whole numbers (whole numbers through the tens place & decimals less than one through the hundredths place using numbers whose division can be readily modeled).          

Student I Can Statements:

• I can perform operations with multi-digit whole numbers & with decimals to hundredths.

• I can compute with decimals to hundredths in a variety of ways.

• I can explain how my strategy works & why I used it.
