Eureka Grade 5 Module 2
This module builds heavily on place value understanding (from Module 1) to teach students the standard algorithms for multiplication and division, extending these operations to include decimals and measurement conversions.
Topic A: Mental Strategies for Multi-Digit Whole Number Multiplication
Focuses on using place value patterns, the associative property, and estimation to multiply multi-digit whole numbers by multiples of 10, 100, and 1,000.
Topic B: The Standard Algorithm for Multi-Digit Whole Number Multiplication
Students use the distributive property and area models to understand and transition to the standard algorithm for multi-digit whole number multiplication.
Topic C: Decimal Multi-Digit Multiplication
Extends multiplication skills to include decimals by reasoning about place value and making estimations about products .
Topic D: Measurement Word Problems with Whole Number and Decimal Multiplication
Applies multiplication skills to solve problems involving equivalent measures and conversions within the same measurement system.
Topic E: Mental Strategies for Multi-Digit Whole Number Division
Introduces division using concrete models (like place value disks) and uses rounding and estimation to find single-digit and multi-digit quotients with two-digit divisors.
Topic F: Partial Quotients and Multi-Digit Whole Number Division1
Leads students to use the written vertical method (long division) to divide multi-digit whole number dividends by two-digit divisors.
Topic G: Partial Quotients and Decimal Multi-Digit Division
Extends the division process to divide decimal dividends by two-digit divisors, focusing on estimating and reasoning about the placement of the decimal point.
Topic H: Measurement Word Problems with Multi-Digit Division
Students solve multi-step word problems involving multi-digit division, applying all the skills learned throughout the module and checking for the reasonableness of their answers.
