Unit 6 Overview:

Students will be understanding the difference between additive comparison (some more/how many more) and multiplicative comparison (“4” times more/how many times more) problems and knowing what operation is most appropriate for solving these types of problems. Students continue solving multi-step word problems involving area/perimeter and measurement conversions using four operations with the unknown in various positions during this unit.

• Students will understand relative sizes of units within the customary system (in, ft, yds, mi.; oz, lb; c, pt, qt., gal.; sec., min., hr.) by developing benchmarks through hands on experiences and visual representations. (MD.A.1)
• Students will record measurement equivalents using a two column table (conversion table) to use as a tool for problem solving. (MD.A.1)
• Students will solve multi-step problems involving measurement and conversion of measurements from a larger unit to a smaller unit using (in, ft, yds, mi.; oz, lb; c, pt, qt., gal.; sec., min., hr.) (MD.A.1)(MD.A.2)
• Students will apply the area and perimeter formulas for rectangles in real world and mathematical problems. (MD.A.3)
• Students will multiply two 2-digit whole numbers using area models, partial products, and place value understanding. (NBT.B.5)
• Students will use multiplication or division to solve word problems involving measurement with multiplicative comparisons. (OA.A.1, OA.A.2)
• Students will divide a whole number of up to 4 digits by a one digit whole number and interpret remainders. (NBT.B.6)
• Students will use all four operations (multiplication and division focus) to solve multi-step (at least 3 steps) word problems. (OA.A.3)
