used in the students' environment.
Relationships
and equiva-
lencies of
integers
fractions
decimals
percents
Identify patterns with skip counting and multiples to
develop and use divisibility tests for determing
whether a whole number is divisible by 2, 3, 5, 6, 9,
and 10.

Represent division-with-remainder using whole
numbers, decimals, or fractions.
Describe the effect of place value when mulitplying
and dividing whole numbers and decimals by
10, 100, and 1000.
Model multiplication of fractions and decimals (e.g.,
tenths mulitplied by tenths, a whole number
mulitplied by tenths, or a whole number with tenths
multipled by tenths) in a variety of ways (e.g.,
manipulatives, number line and area models,
patterns).
*Determine when it is appropriate to use estimation,
mental math strategies, paper and pencil, algorithms, or a calculator.
Make reasonable estimations of fraction and decimal
sums, differences, and products, including knowing whether results obtained using a calculator are
reasonable.
Write number sentences that can be used to solve a
two-step problem.
*Interpret division-with-remainder problems as they
apply to the environment (e.g., If there are 53
people, how many vans are needed if each van
holds 8 people?)
