Step Up to 6th Grade

Unit Overview: These step-up lessons will help prepare students for the next grade by previewing some important content from the next grade level.

Learning Objectives

(IN2020) 5.C.8

Add, subtract, multiply, and divide decimals to hundredths, using models or drawings and strategies based on place value or the properties of operations. Describe the strategy and explain the reasoning.

(IN2020) 5.AT.5

Solve real-world problems involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division with decimals to hundredths, including problems that involve money in decimal notation (e.g. by using equations, models or drawings and strategies based on place value or properties of operations to represent the problem).

(IN2020) 6.NS.2

Recognize opposite signs of numbers as indicating locations on opposite sides of 0 on the number line; recognize that the opposite of the opposite of a number is the number itself (e.g., –(–3) = 3), and that 0 is its own opposite.

(IN2020) 6.NS.3

Compare and order rational numbers and plot them on a number line. Write, interpret, and explain statements of order for rational numbers in real-world contexts.

(IN2020) 6.AF.7

Understand that signs of numbers in ordered pairs indicate the quadrant containing the point. Identify rules or patterns in the signs as they relate to the quadrants Graph points with rational number coordinates on a coordinate plane.

(IN2020) 6.NS.5

Know commonly used fractions (halves, thirds, fourths, fifths, eighths, tenths) and their decimal and percent equivalents. Convert between any two representations (fractions, decimals, percents) of positive rational numbers without the use of a calculator.
