• By the end of this section, students should be able to use understanding of place value to convert between different units within the same measurement system (e.g., meters to centimeters, grams to kilograms, or feet to inches)and use conversions to solve multistep word problems.

• Suggested pacing 1-2  weeks

Essential Learning Outcomes (ELO)

∎ Recognize that in a multi-digit number, a digit in one place represents 10 times as much as it represents in the place to its right and 1/10 of what it represents in the place to its left. (5.NBT.1)

⊡  Convert whole number measurements, including fractions and decimals, and use conversions to solve real-world problems. (5.MD.1) (SMP1, SMP5) 

Learning targets

• I can recognize that a number in one place value is ten times larger than the number to its right (5.NBT.1)

• I can recognize that a number in one place value is 1/10 the value of the number to its left. (5.NBT.1)

• I can convert different sized measurement units (kilometers, meters, and centimeters, liters and milliliters, yards, feet, and inches,  pounds and ounces) within a given system, including decimals and fractions (5.MD.1) 

• I can use measurement conversions to solve multi-step word problems  (5.MD.1)

Add/Subt  &  Mult/Div Strategies - Review Fractions & Decimals  

Choose which strategy students need to practice.  You may find that they need many, so start with one for a week or so, then move onto another.  You are looking for efficient strategies, not mastery of all strategies.  Students may find they prefer one strategy over another or change strategies for different problems.  The goal is that they are flexibly using efficient strategies and are able to reason about numbers to fluently compute.

Spiral Practice

These resource sheets are intended to reinforce procedures and concepts. They should not be used as a source of direct instruction or whole-group practice.   Please select pages carefully based on your students' needs. 

You may have students work on these with a partner, independently with an answer key to self-check (tip: use sheet protectors), or as a journal response.   It is not necessary to have students complete a page every day- the intent is to have opportunities to spiral concepts for mixed practice, not do "busy" work.
